Got all of that sweet Edge delay programmed in?

Ribs and beans are now on the #Smoker

The #Woodworking project of the day is a custom ramp (1 of 2 pictured) for our whole-house portable generator. I store the generator in my office and deploy it out as needed.

With a new slider door installed, I didn't want to damage the track moving our generator over it.

My friend, Mike, suggested a motorcycle ride to Grinnell, IA to the eat at the #1 rated Pork Tenderloin sandwich restaurant in IA for 2025.

The wind was fierce and weather was cool (46º), but the food was good!

Now, I'm enjoying at Booker's #Bourbon in the driveway.

I haven't heard of this one. How is it?
I can recommend this beer! I've purchased several 4-packs so far this Fall, and will continue buying until it is out-of-stock for this round.
That is a good question; I don't know if they ship. It is Barn Town Brewing. The location I got to is in West Des Moines, IA.
Fun! There's a local brewery that makes a sour (beer) that tastes like a Shirley Temple called "Don't Call Me Shirley!" It's back for a short time also. I stocked up!

October is the month that our River Birch tree really lets loose with its leaves. This video was taken in 2022, and I've done some trimming of branches, so it's not dropping them quite this heavy any more.

Here is a panorama of our neighborhood that I took several years ago.

The software that I used to use to create panoramas stopped working on MacOS after an OS upgrade. But, I managed to track down a different product that would work to stitch RAW files together.

I couldn’t figure out why Frannie was carrying around a leaf on our walk yesterday. Normally, she carries comically large sticks. She had it in her mouth for a whole city block.

When she finally dropped it, there was some kind of berry on the stem.

She’s such a goof!

I spent a lot of time getting up and down from the roof today. Our old OTA antenna was broken and not receiving channels well.

The new gigantic antenna got mounted and hooked up. We now receive all of the OTA local channels, even the set of weak ABC stations.

Very nice! I’m hoping to visit Portugal early in 2026.
And, so ends the outdoor painting project left in the wake of our new windows.

Now, I’m sitting in the driveway sipping on a #RussellsReserve #SingleRickhouse #CampNelsonB that I just picked this up in CO.

In Colorado, I scored some #PlinyTheElder double IPA beer, so I’m cracking one open in the driveway tonight.

I got the high peak painted today, with an assist from a painter working in the neighborhood.

The day started out cool, but it is now 73°, warm and breezy.

My wife and I attended a #BourbonRaffle at a local grocery store tonight. There were several that I was interested in purchasing, including a Michter's Barrel Strength Rye, Weller Full Proof and an Elmer T. Lee.

My wife's name was called, and she picked an #EagleRare store pick for me.

Would you have an invite code to share?
Thanks! It's slowly progressing...
Back from Colorado and resuming the outdoor painting job.

The kitchen slider and window area have received a fresh coat of paint to blend the new siding boards into the rest of the house.

Done for today, I've cracked open the new #SmokeyeHill #Bourbon that I picked up on the trip.

Except for me, who ordered first and was done by the time they ordered.
The foliage between Silverton and Ouray was incredibly beautiful. We caught peak Aspen tree colors, it seems.

These photos don’t do the beauty justice.

289 miles riding in the mountains is good for the soul!

The bikes are loaded and we head back tomorrow.
I’ve also been #BourbonHunting here in Colorado.

I’ve found several bottles that I haven’t seen in Iowa, including a Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse: CNB (2024), Four Roses SBBS OESQ, Penelope Estate Collection SB, Smokeye Hill BP, and WT Jimmy’s 70th Anniversary.

Pictures to come…
