Raven's Range
Blather around a virtual range

The week went by fast, as weeks are wont to do once you get past about 35. The new job was delayed a little due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, but by the end of the week I was starting to do my first keyword research. It is going to be a pleasant gig, once I get the hang of it.

My motorcycle’s battery arrived on Wednesday. By this time it had been raining for 24 hours straight, but at least held off long enough to let me pick it up from the house without drowning. ;) Thursday it only rained half the day, and by Friday the earth was a bit drier and I inserted the thing, managing to yank a muscle that extended from my left bum to my left middle. I didn’t know this on Friday, when we invited Kerry and Gavin round for a barbecue; but boy did I know it on Saturday.

Fortunately, I got better, and on Sunday we were able to depart on a desperately-needed 50-mile round trip, followed by another barbecue. The fall colors are lovely; bright without the debris (the leaves are turning, but haven’t, for the most part, fallen yet, except for the tree directly in front of our home, which is bald now). It was our wedding anniversary today.

The rain has brought the ground back to life. There are little mushrooms everywhere, and tiny green seedlings pushing up through the earth. It will soon be time to start dismantling the transmission, and then maybe we will be able to head off on whatever the next grand adventure will be.
