Winterizing?

Fall weather spells winterizing around here, if only because we know what's coming. Plastic on the windows, moving the bedroom downstairs, and generally battening down anything outside that might blow around when the fabled winds of Wheatley REALLY start whipping.

Finally even got the septic tank closed. In the end, we went and bought the biggest frickin' metal bar we could find and sunk it in the ground. Give me but a lever, and I can move the Earth....or at least the many hundred pound concrete lid of the septic tank.

Having said that....it's getting towards late November and still beautiful. We've barely had any frost (first frost Nov.1st), and double digits and sunny all this weekend. Still need to winterize in anticipation, but awfully nice to have great weather to do it in....

Thank you, Giant Metal Bar!
