A Taste of Autumn

The first thing I have to say: Sycamore trees are starting to lose their leaves and that makes me smile a lot. I know I am probably getting ahead of myself as far as Autumn goes, and that we most likely will have some more hot and sunny days before it's really here... but yesterday and today were breezy and cool and I will always love that the most.

The weekend was nice. Friday night we went into Somerville and met up with the regular crew and went to the Verve where Johnny works. Everyone got discounted drinks/food, although I only had an ice tea. (I really like Ice Tea, plus I had already eaten a lot at home.)

Trail running with Ed was INTENSE Saturday morning. 8.5 miles didn't sound like it would be that bad, but when there are hundreds of yards spent basically just skipping from rock to rock followed by a 1/2 mile up a hiking trail... well, let's just say my calves and butt got one hell of a work out.

Then I spent 4 hours working on the Buell to tighten just two bolts that were causing the oil leak. But it is finally completely fix (knock on wood) and hopefully will stay that way. We watched football and hung out with Andrew Doug Laura and Jenna that night, which was relaxing.

Sunday my grandparents came, which was nice because I haven't seen them in a couple months now. I told them all about the new job and my dad made sliders from the butcher and it was nice.

This week my boss is on vacation so it's a real test of how much I really know about what's going on. So far so good. Three days left.

Other than that, nothing new. I hope everyone is safe and happy. Also that anyone who has found themselves farther north is settling in well.
