Supposedly this is a catchword from GOT, but I’ve never seen it. But winter is coming, and living in the midwest, that means battening down the hatches. I have a new roof, and have recently rebuilt the west facing wiondows, so the critical issue has been water, and having had water pipes freeze, I am extrra careful about that. So the long life rough service bulb is in the well pit and the thermometer as well, and I have covered the well pit with foam to keep it from the worst of the cold.

Hopefully nothing new will manifest itself. Hopefully this winter is mild and mellow.

But I finally found someone who would mow the yard. Beginning with cutting down the very tall weeds in the back. The first day cost me more than my first car, and I was happy to pay that. Because it’s done. And while it’s raggedy it will get better with time. And hopefully I will be able to make it much less of a problem in the long run by simply paying someone to do it for me.
