I picked up a LOT of leaves yesterday, and hope to cut the grass one more time, and apply fertilizer.

I fertilize in the spring and my Willow tree is on its 3rd year so no leaves for me but I have to get some mulching done with my mowing man...

Nothing yet today, but yesterday I entered 4 models in a contest and won 1st and 2nd in box-stock, 2nd in Master class, and 2nd in street machines, so I'm still pretty stoked. :)

Ronald McDonald Foundation has been building a new Ronald McDonald House across from my local Hospital (Central Dupage Hospital) and from what I saw of it driving by just now, it looks like it'll be a very nice place to stay for anybody who's family is unfortunate to have to make use of it.

Today I received word that I passed my Certified Reliability Leader (CRL) exam. I took the 2.5 hr exam at the conference I attended a few weeks ago and really thought I hadn't passed. Big surprise! And quite pleased. That puts me at the top of the Facility Reliability field, something I've only been involved with the past year. Guess I'm a quick study! :)

I got a lot done this morning, like cleaning the gutters & downspouts, emptying and putting away the garden hose, removing my grille from the deck and putting it in storage, bringin' in all the liquids from the garage, etc. Yep, I'm getting ready for the upcoming winter as it's comin' whether I like it or not. I may have to rake leaves one more time and Home Depot was out of winter fertilizer, so not this fall as I was "late to the dance."

Yesterday I had my every 3 month doctor appointment. Weight lower, Blood pressure lower, A1C lower. Looks like I may live ! At least a little longer. : )

Thanks guys , it's tough but I got to where I am because I didn't take care of myself. Nobody to blame but myself. Cooler here in Arizona now so I can get my butt out there and do more.

Cobraman, my father didn't take care of himself and he was gone at age 57. He expired before he retired. That gave me enough incentive to take care of myself and live longer than age 57 and to enjoy the last nine years in retirement so far. God can only do so much, you have to do the rest.

Went to the hobby shop today in my new car...

Yup, I finally got down to business and bought a car. With all of our cars over 150,000 miles, we needed to have one clean family car that we're not afraid to take on a long trip.

Those who know me know that I prefer to buy a low mile, clean used car and pay cash instead of being a slave to car payments. After a long Internet search I bought this 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXL with 32,000 miles on it for $8000 cash. It was on the lot at a New Jersey Acura dealer. It's a one owner estate car, the son of the original owner inherited it from his father and traded it in on a new Acura SUV. it's got leather and everything else we need. CarFax is complete and clean, got all the service records and window sticker with it. Dealer originally had $12,999 on it, so I think I did well. Yea, you can find a cheaper LaCrosse, but not this nice. And we plan on keeping it a long time.
