Good night Roo. I hope this rant finds you well.
The big week-end's over, huh? Pretty much the summer for me. I do dock work and when the summer folks start packing it in, that's it. We'll work pretty much rain or shine for the next sixty days straight. Great thing about working on a lake this size, if the weather gets bad we just go to the other side. I'll drive to sunny patches sometimes I can see 15 miles away

I tried not to bug you much but I had a rocky spring season. Just sucked it up, or buckled down, or whatever...I did ok. I'm looking forward to a good fall season too. If Sis writes and tells you I dropped dead or something you'll know that didn't work out for me

It is what it is, sure keeps getting tougher though. I feel good when I'm out there doing it but I'm pretty stiff by the time I crawl out of the truck at night. I could lose a few pounds. Usually the winters keep me fit but I had a little catching up to do this year. All that fantastic hospital food catching up if you ask me

One thing they didn't bitch about was my appetite.
Lol, I'm rambling, another thing that comes with Autumn, perhaps, on a grander scale.
That's my rant, goodbye summer, is all. I hope, looking back, you all think it was a good one.
I'll miss the swimming as much as anything. We might get a few more dips but they'll have to be quick ones. The kids are back in school and my garden's turning brown and I'll be in chest waders now almost till the snow flies. Crackin' some jokes with the few young guys that work with me, turning my face up when the sun pokes through, and putting my head down when the wind blows. I guess I couldn't have a better view from my office.
I look forward to a post from MH about another season coming to a close, if she will. She sure has a way with words.
Break out the cocoa MM

Love and peace.
