Summer is over
It hadn't previously occurred to me but I got to work this morning and for the first time in a long time I could smell the dust burning off the elements in the furnace. It was the first day it got cold enough for the heat to kick on. Coincidentally it is also the first day of fall, the equinox when we will have equal time of dark and light. From here on out the days will get short and it will be 3 months before we start back toward the never ending summer days. It's usually about now that I start preparing for winter. Time to blow out the sprinklers, drain the hoses and put all the lawn tools away. Happy fall to all!

A 100 degrees eh, geez.
It gets to about zero here righ tnow at night. The leaves turned last month,
makes for some nice pictures thats for sure.
were well into fall, didnt have much of a summer. Perhaps a nice cold winter with lotsa work, that'd be nice.
Stay safe Texans, good luck.

I will probably turn the ac off in about a month. I hope so the electric bill is outrageous. The cool thing is with four computers running in the house I average running the heat 3 days a year.
