Friday, WS and I did something that we probably won’t get to do again until sometime in February; we washed our vehicles. I got home from taking my truck in for service and WS was drying his truck after washing it in the front yard. He was going to be a while, as he was going to wax it, so I ran into town to the carwash and did the same for my truck (much faster and easier for me though and I just washed mine).
Saturday, I filled the woodrack on the deck, reconciled the checkbook with the bank statement (and finally figured out where check 4280 went), repotted some plants (and potted some baby spider plants), vacuumed and prepared meat to make beef jerky. I also took some time to do some reading. WS slept most of the afternoon, which he deserved as he has worked really hard the last 6-7 weekends.
Sunday, WS worked out in the yard, shredding the last of the leaves. I was going to just rake them up into a tarp and dump them in the woods, but he wanted to shred, so I left him to it. He also started winterizing motorized items that will not be used until next spring; the motorcycle, leaf shredder, lawn tractor etc. I started dehydrating the beef jerky (which marinated overnight), started the chili that I am taking into work for a pot-luck Thanksgiving lunch and brushed the dogs. Then I basically goofed off the rest of the day – reading, watching football and tending the woodstove.
All in all, a really good weekend. Both of us got to goof off for an entire afternoon for a change!
