Here’s LRN4 looking out the window at the Seaspan Pacer. Picture taken in Canada and (contrary to my earlier promise) a part of our cruise. Sue me. Part of my famous Machinery series.

Yet another beautiful, normal day. Commuted, worked, commuted, ate, blogged. LRN12 took a brief nap this evening and woke up extremely grouchy, as is her wont. She needs to grow out of that habit, and fast. She’s so pleasant when she’s not waking up. Or going to sleep. Or waking up while going to sleep. Otherwise, she’s great.

LRN3’s thinking of buying a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. Its only unusual aspect is that it’s a right-hand-drive vehicle. It would be great for delivering mail, which is apparently what its original owner bought it to do. Maybe he can get a mail job too. Especially if he already has the car for it.

We’ll close with yet another exclusive Morrowlife employment opportunity: Polish Toilet Checker. They’re lining up to get that job.

See you tomorrow.

Here are LRN2, LRN4, and LRN12 getting ready for Halloween. Actually on Halloween, as it turns out. The results speak for themselves.

No post on Friday. Got busy at the ward Halloween party and never got to it. Thanks to Anon for noticing.

Got a few things done over the weekend. The pool’s basket filters were so full of leaves the water was barely circulating. Need to keep a closer eye on that this time of year. Can’t remember what else was accomplished, besides Halloween stuff and relaxation. But I’m sure there must have been something. Really.

And a new week has started. More of the usual. Although it was darker than usual at coming-home time, what with Daylight Saving Time being over and all.

LRN2’s working on a handwritten paper. That’s not his favorite thing to do, so he’s decided to spice it up a bit by hand-illustrating it. Which is one of his favorite things to do. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep up the good work, LRN2!

We’ll end with today’s toilet violence news: leave the corkscrew at home.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s the view from the train platform on the morning of August 17. I love to see a pretty sunrise. Or sunset. Great Art courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam.

The weekend’s here! For me, at least. Not too many plans this weekend. There’s the ward Halloween party tomorrow night and actual trick-or-treating Saturday night with LRN12, which should be lots of fun. We’re also cleaning the church on Saturday morning, and I should probably look at the pool filters yet again – it’s been terribly windy this week and the pool had tons of dust in it. We’ll see how that goes.

The real news today, though, is that LRN1’s mission call came! He’s going to the Guatemala Guatemala City North mission, speaking Spanish, of course. He reports to the Provo MTC on February 10, spends three weeks there, and then goes on to the Guatemala MTC for another six weeks before starting actual proselyting. He’s excited, we’re excited, everybody’s excited. Congratulations, LRN1!

As part of the continuing Morrowlife Blog effort to ensure full employment among the Loyal Reader population, I offer today’s opportunity: worm charmer. Get your applications in now, Loyal Readers!

See you tomorrow.

Here’s a . . . umm . . . I have no idea. It’s some kind of farm implement or something. Found in the park where we had our last campout of the summer. So it’s part of both my famous Machinery and my Camping series.

Short Shrift tonight. It’s getting late already and I want to get to bed. No post yesterday due to More or Less Massive Meeting Tuesday. We started a little later than some other weeks and we ended on time, so it wasn’t bad. But there was no time for blogging.

Cool day. I was positively cold on the train platform this morning, with only my light jacket for comfort. I’m thinking of wearing a slightly heavier one tomorrow, as it’s supposed to be similarly cool in the morning. It snowed heavily in Denver today, I hear, and LRN1 reported at least a little snow in Provo. So I can’t complain. Much.

All else is well. So I’ll end not with toilet violence, but with a Very Special Toilet Employment Opportunity. My Loyal Readers will want to put in their applications immediately. Best of luck to all of you.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s LRN4 in front of the pond on the grounds of the rich guy’s house pictured in yesterday’s blog. Being a pond fan, I had a snap a photo. Also an LRN4 fan, by the way. Part of my famous Camping series.

Pretty good weekend. I got the pool filters cleaned, which was a Real Good Idea. They were filthy. And now they’re clean(ish). Also got some other things done, most of which escape me at the moment.

Still waiting for LRN1’s mission call to come. Maybe this week.

I went back to the dentist’s office this afternoon to get my fallen-off filling replaced. They replaced another old filling while they were at it. Which was good, because they found a “significant amount” of decay around it. Yikes. Fortunately, I’m as sound as the pound again.

Which brings me to my other appointment this afternoon – went to the doctor’s office for a physical. I’m in great shape, but need lower cholesterol. Since I’m already living a perfectly healthy lifestyle, my doctor gave me some cholesterol lowering medication. Let’s hope it works. I’d like to live a few more years. A lot more years, in fact. Let’s hope. The blog just wouldn’t be the same without me.

Let’s close with some highly important Salad Violence news: can you blame the guy? I’m certainly not about to cast the first stone on this one.

See you tomorrow.
