flirt  Hi old friends. The new Aerus Electrolux job has really been taking up a lot of time. It is the store service technician position has me mainly on the road doing home evaluations and services. Some of the machines accompany me back for shop work / repairs. Trips are localized to phone exchanges and alphabetical from the customer database. I see from five to nine clients per day. Luckily my gas is tax deductible as an expense.

The garden has become a lawn extension from lack of maintenance. The peas did very well this year... thankful for the larger freezer acquisition. We also deposited another goat for the winter menu. With the newly added Boer buck we shall have meatier goats in the future. tongue There are still melons, squash and pumpkins on the vines. The carrots and parsnips await a good frost to sweeten them. The Brussel sprout are only starting to form but also need a touch of frost. I have peaked under the row covers to see some nice cabbages.

Tomatoes were touchy this year. There was just too much rain and a lack of sunshine. It may be another year or two before the soil gets worked up to snuff.

Hope all are healthy and able to meet all your challenges. I shall try to make appearances more frequently. Stay warm and dry. wink

For fast relief... try slowing down. image
