Today I am taking Kobe to school, then hoping to work around the house.
Yesterday Coach Kobe was on the competition floor at Northwestern University "coaching" the Purdue team at the Remenyik ROC fencing tournament.
I also had a bunch of other kids there. The 2 girls in this photo are also mine, but were competing against Purdue. Girl on the left of the photo is now fencing variety women's saber at Cleveland State University. The shorter girl on the right of the photo is a high school sophomore, competes Homewood Flossmoor. Both competed in this tournament. I had several boys from the high schools competing in the event as well, one took 6th place.

Hesston Steam Museum is open weekends Noot to 5pm at least into December. This month they have the Halloween Train . . . sometime in November they will switch it over to a Santa Train. I think they shut down and reopen in the spring.

I should buy a lottery ticket. I'm out moose hunting this week. I spend the morning scouting out a cut for us to watch this evening and found a trail at the back good for birds. I was stopped outside the sxs when my buddy called. I drove back to the truck and loaded up then headed back to camp. When I got there, I discovered that my phone was missing. I drove back 20 minutes to where I was last on it and searched the entire 4km of dirt road back to the highway....twice. Then drove back to camp. My buddies were going to hunt the cut I was scouting out and found it on the dirt road near a puddle almost back to the highway. No damage.
Recovered phone in the woods 4km away. buy 2 tickets.
The home style AAA grand daughter cam by yesterday (in her last year at college and her own apartment)

No one has one locally 4-5 days on line for one. it gives me time to remount the heat shield that the flopping drive shaft knocked off.

I was supposed to be out moose hunting all week but unfortunately my back had other plans. I was wide awake in pain at 4:30am yesterday and instead of getting ready to head moose hunting for the day, I made the call to end my hunt and head home. I've been home all morning nursing a sore back this morning and now waiting for physio.
Tuesday home AAA tried working on granddaughters car getting one seized bolt out I rolled over with my arm under my side and felt a pop and pain (Boy I wish I had a lift) and didnt get bolt out 
I couldn't sleep well tuesday night last night still made it to work, I went to bed at 6:00 and slept restless till 5ish and went to work today feeling better but still sore hopefully I'll get it fixed this weekend.
On the good side today I was told to wrap up my project next week and submit it next Thursday, so I'm back to being retired. next week.

I shuffled trailers around the yard this week. We're storing mom's 31ft motorhome here along with the boat she recently bought. Then we have two fifth wheel campers. One is for sale. But they both have to be stored. I backed everything up onto 2x4s and covered the tires for the winter. My back hasn't allowed me to do much this week since I got back from hunting. I did get out to the deer blind behind my shop to place some feed and a salt lick and saw fresh tracks yesterday. I'm only allowed crossbow archery or shotgun in my yard as we live in the country but on the edge of a small village. I've been doing some target practice with my new crossbow learning what it likes. I used to shoot archery but can't anymore due to my back.
Spent the day refurbishing the Greenhouse. Every winter I put fresh bubble wrap on the windows to help insulate from the cold. It comes 36" wide on a big roll and my Granddaughter uses it for packing in her internet business.
My windows are 33.0" wide so, it is just cut and staple to the 4X4 studs.
Eight windows 36" X 78" and the corrugated plastic ceiling which is 36" C/C rafters at 84.0" long. This creates a 3 1//2" air pocket that works quite well. THE bubbles diffuse the sunlight for an even distribution in the room.
Time for the "tenders " to come inside for the winter. And, I have three tomato plants and three pepper plants as well. Crumpy has a hydroponic garden with various lettuce and greens.
