SUMACS, FERNS, MAPLES & SO MUCH MORE ALONG THE TRAIL
It has been about 6 weeks or so since the Virus bug knocked me out of action & today was the first day back driving for Town & Country again. Eased into things this morning by taking the company's mini-van to a facility nearby that undercoats vehicles with a rust inhibitive solution. It's a good idea to have that done because it protects against our salty winter roads here. I will actually be getting the Jeep done as well in the coming weeks but that will be done here in Bayfield.
Superb weather day again & as usual it was bonus time for me rolling through our beautiful Autumn countryside. And, it's always an added bonus when someone else is paying for the gas & I am actually getting paid for the driving:)) I never tire of being surrounded by Mother Nature's wonders. My afternoon drive took me to a small town by the name of Fordwich where I picked up a fellow & headed to a nearby town for groceries. Nice easy afternoon & always nice to be of help to disabled folks.
It's looking like our departure date for the southwest has been pushed back from October 23rd to November 6th now. Kelly wants to stay & work an extra couple weeks & that's the way it is.................
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Kenny said, "OK then, at least give me the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at 2 dollars a piece and made a profit of $898."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his 2 dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

ReplyDeleteThat's too bad about the departure change, but at least you will still be going. Something to hang on to until November!

ReplyDeleteWe have pushed our departure date from the 12th of NOv...to the 15th...and that' the way it rolls!!!! Just let's get out of the cold and into the warm!!!
ReplyDeleteI sure am enjoying your fall color pictures! Maybe I'll get to see some of that color as I head back East. :)
ReplyDeleteNice fall pics tonight. Just add 2 weeks onto the other end of the trip and it'll all work out the same. Good to hear you were able to get back to work driving the van.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures wonder what the Pocono Mountains in PA will look like the beginning of Oct. If it's not to late maybe i will get some shots. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
ReplyDeleteGreat fall pics, and I can't wait until they come our way south. I love the fall season.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back driving and helping people.
Take care!
Mike & Gerri
Sure wish we could have a firm date to get back on extended travel again! We have a 5-day rally coming up next month, maybe we can extend that a few days. We really hope to get going next spring and see some more of this country!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Al. No rain has made Indy kind of brown and not fallish looking...
