34 was the low last night while camping. I turned the heat off and it was in the mid forties inside this morning. I turned the heat on while still in the sleeping bag and didn’t get out of it for a half hour. I like sleeping in the cold.

47 this morning when we went to breakfast at the Avista Resort in North Myrtle Beach .... to say that the locals noticed would be a very significant understatement .. :lol: .. most of them had on winter clothing from cap to boots .... Sunday evening we went to an excellent seafood restaurant that still offers a full seafood buffet .... I know that such places have always been expensive; none the less, I admit to suffering sticker stock when I learned their price was $41.00 a person .... Maureen ordered what proved to be excellent Calabash style oysters and I hit the buffet .... I ate more than enough crab legs to cover the cost .... they were outstanding .... Monday night returned to normal with takeout from BoJangles .. :roll: .. we are now home and have the car unloaded

It got down to about 44° this morning. The first time it's been in the 40's since last March. It's warmed up to 72° just past 1 in the afternoon. I'm not feeling particularly well today so I'm taking it easy. I cooked bacon, eggs, toast and coffee for breakfast.

We love seafood but the cost of king crab has gotten so high that when we can get it it's too much money for my taste.
We have started to purchase Dungeness Crab from Costo which is much cheaper and I even like it better. One crab makes
a meal for me.
The last time we were in Myrtle Beach we found a bar and grill in town that had steamed oysters with french fries and
hush puppies. There were about two dozen to a big kettle and they were outstanding. Add a nice beer and aaahhhh.... :D

42 heading to maybe 68 later and again Thursday and Friday. Then starting Saturday our weather takes a turn to normal with rain and 50’s next week.

Time to get serious about winterizing stuff around here. Hard to do when it’s so nice out but I’m only fooling myself if I don’t. :lol: I got the property up north all buttoned up yesterday including burning a couple of large piles of tree limbs.

It was 52° this morning and should reach the low 80's by this afternoon. It's great riding weather but have too much on my plate. I've got to take the little old beagle to a vet specialist ($$$) this afternoon to see why she's coughing so much. Our regular vet hasn't been able to pin it down. The wife is taking off for Omaha on a surprise visit to see my son and daughter-in-law. She's having a baby shower Friday evening. Friday morning, I have to take the sister-in-law to her doctor's appointment for a mammogram. This will be the first time for me to get her ready solo since Robyn is going to be out of town. I'm not looking forward to the task.
I just had cereal and coffee this morning.

75 tomorrow and low 70's through Sunday, seems unusually warm for near the end of Oct. Warmer here is fine with me as long as the mountains get decent snowfall this winter.

51 In Clearwater Fl. this am and a high of 72 with plenty of sun. Makes me wish that I was 40 years younger with a building to frame.

35 this morning with what look to be clear skies. Record high today at 72, yea I could get used to this. But wait, there’s more: next week the S word is in for forecast with a possibility of some wet snow in the higher bench areas which includes me. Nothing that is expected to accumulate thankfully. But this forecast does motivate me to get going on winterizing. Today I’ll change the oil and filters on the boat motors and fog the cylinders. Already topped off the fuel tank and added stabilizer.

Since I have only 1 arm I had to hire a company to put a new roof on the house. They showed up this morning and boy are they noisy. Phil the dog is barking at all the noise. Everyone have a great day! 🇺🇸

A bit warmer today. It was 66° on the dog walk before sunrise. Currently it's 86°. There's not much work to do today so I did some house chores. I'm getting ready to work on a clarinet. BTW the vet visit with the dog cost me $1348 yesterday. I'm not happy about the price but there's no such thing as a "free dog".
