This week was little fun. Still had things cropping up from last weekend throughout the week. No show stoppers, but things that had to be addressed which ate up time like starved piranha. I think I have finally tracked down the last of the problems now, have changes in for review and implementation.
Took the van up for a visit to the van guys on Friday. Not much has changed since we were last there, just that everyone has gotten older. They still have work backed up all over the place. Got our names on the list for spring/early summer engine work and next fall or later paint job. Yesterday took the van to storage for the winter.
This morning I started up the heat out in the barn and we did some clipping and bundling of plum tree prunings. We have a pretty impressive stack of twigs small limbs in the barn, but it is a good thing to do at this time of year. These bundles probably won't get used for another two years.
I wasted time today sorting through books on our bookshelves looking for things we either won't read, won't read again, or don't really want to have a physical copy. I've got a stack of about a dozen books which we can give away when the town library opens again. I also dug out some of the old technical books that are old enough now that they aren't good to anyone (technology that's no longer supported, but not old enough to be interesting as vintage). Those will be going to recycling. The result of these efforts is there might be enough room on our shelves to store the books which couldn't find a home on shelves before. I also dug out a few things I haven't read before to put on my bedside table.
I've been slowly filling the Kobo I bought earlier this year (or was it last?). Derien seems to like how it works, so it will probably become our go to ebook technology. Barnes & Noble no longer supports our nooks and I've slowly become less and less impressed with their offers. I like having an ebook to read and I will not join the empire and buy a Kindle. So the Kobo Forma seems to fit the bill: paperbackish size, light, purpose-built, capable of taking all sorts of non-drm content, decent storage capacity. It gives me a sense of security to know I can carry around more books than I could possibly read in my lifetime.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here already. I did see some turkeys walking across the lower yard headed for the forest earlier this week. They didn't come up and check under the bird feeders so they must be feeling well fed.
