Dukey's gonna get a crick in his neck sleeping like that.

Tonight I went to my first meeting as an associate member of the Clay Fire Department. Woohoo! We got the lowdown on expectations and safety precautions. I can't wait to go to some calls! I have to schedule my battalion chief ride along first. Stay tuned...

Leaves, leaves and more leaves. Here's how we do it. We use the lawn mower to 'mow' up the leaves. Since the bagger works for shit, we don't use it. The leaves just get sucked up and thrown out the side. So basically, we mow in circles to, more or less, corral the leaves into a manageable pile. We then rake them onto a tarp, drag them over to the other side of the driveway near the woods for burning at a later date.

Quality lunch. Beer and poppers.

Bubba makes a good pillow. Pooper still wants nothing to do with Duke, but Bubba tolerates him. Mostly because he is fat and lazy and doesn't wanna get up and move.

Starting last night and into this morning, we had our first snowfall. Pretty much most of this disappeared by late afternoon. This picture was taken at 8:28am.

Oh, we have been craving some deep dish ZA for awhile now. When Jay and Jen (Should I start calling them 'Jan' for short?) go to Giannetto's for dinner, we take turns buying. I hadn't realized that it was their turn when Jen said they were paying. (I hope I didn't misunderstand.) Which means next time it will be our turn, we owe them. Which really means that we have a reason to go back again. And again. And again.
