Cool Nebraska's "Fall has arrived" October BS thread

Good morning all, and welcome to October! Yeah, fall is nice and all, but I know what comes after it! But the weather is cooperating for now, so best to enjoy it!

And with that, lets get this party started, and let the BS fly!

Morning. Still alive and kicking down here where it's still hot. No hurricanes headed my way for now.

Oh yes. Up to around 80F and 70s the rest of the week. What's not to like?

Yes fall is here but out temps are still holding on here in Husker land but it's that time of year anyway so we are moving into our trailer today and will clean and winterize the house, put the car and F150 up on blocks tomorrow then start heading south.

Good morning all, happy Thursday! Was able to get one coat of paint on the building yesterday, will do another tomorrow. Ended up having to get a whole new sprayer, stupid Wagner took a crap.

HI Lee, temps are about the same here.

George, Ken, that's way too cold!!!

Denny, figured it was getting to be that time of year. Have a safe trip south!

Good morning, everyone! Looks nice for the rest of this week and then the bottom falls out of it next week, or so says Ken Siemek on 10/11 anyway.

Going already Denny? Good luck on the move.

71 is basically ready for the car show Sunday other than wash and wax. Should have done this work earlier in the year….

Rode around town with some board members tonight picking places to plant 50 trees someone donated to the village.

Spending tomorrow night getting that little z50 running hopefully so I can throw it in the box of the 71 for the car show and surprise the owner. We’ll see if I get there.

Work is frustrating. Spent the whole week nearly getting one project situated. I have 19 or so others that aren’t mapped or not mapped well and they dumped 20 hours of managerial training on me. I’ve been avoiding night work but I’m gonna have to hit it hard next week. To get us into a position where I’m comfortable.

Good morning, everyone! Sounds like you all had more productive nights than I did... I got the lawn mowed and that was about it. Got a birthday party to go to at the local watering hole tonight. Don't want to be a mess tomorrow but I probably will be anyway. Got too much to do to be hungover. We'll see how big of a train wreck the party turns out to be, I suppose.
