It Was a Busy and Spooky Oct. 31st

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31ST-- Drove the boat to Hebron, Illinois, and put it up in the barn to close out the 2013 boating season.

Then did some shopping in Richmond on the way home and research at the Nippersink Library on the War of 1812 McHenry County burials. There were a lot more than I expected.

Came home and cleared out the third garage bay which had been used for gardening equipment this past summer. Winter's fast a-coming as you know. I put the '85 Firebird up for the winter in it. I have an EA license, Extended Antique, and can't drive it except to get gas from November 1st to March 1st.

Due to heavy rain, we only had some 45 trick-or-treaters. The best part was when the neighbor kids from across the street came by with their young ones all dressed up for the night. We remember when they used to come trick-or-treating when they were kids. A guess that is what happens when you live somewhere for twenty years.

A Busy Day. --RoadDog
