Blog time 1110 at Panera

Ms P got me up at 0550.  It was cold, 25, but no snow.

Nancy is going swimming this morning and later has a dentist appointment.   She is driving the Escape because yesterday the Taurus’s change oil light came on.  I will take it in the afternoon for an oil change.

After breakfast I headed to the Y.  Today I am riding the winter bike because the weather folks say it will be snowing by 1100.  They were right I just looked out the window and sure enough it was snowing.

November 15 is a big day in Mi because deer season starts today.  Even my Dad headed to deer camp.  He would leave for camp on the day before and would stay a week at camp.  Actually the camp is quite nice.  It consists of a log main building complete with lounge room with a huge fireplace, a restroom and a sleeping room.  They also had a separate log dining room and kitchen.  The camp hired local farm women to prepare three meals a day.  Not exactly roughing it.

On this date in1938, Ossineke, MI,  Great Grandfather Sanborn noted that deer season started today.  GGF was not a deer hunter because he spent a busy day cleaning and hauling manure.  He moved 26 loads.  He also moved a stove for Robinson.  He mentioned shutting up his chickens.  Busy day for an 82 year old gentleman.

Left Panera at 1130, quick shower and then lunch.  After lunch I got in the Taurus and headed out.  Stopped at Meijer’s to pick up prescription.  I then headed to Fox Ford for an oil change.  I picked the perfect time because the waiting time was only 90 minutes.  I took my iPad and had a chance to get caught up.  On way home I stopped at Meijer’s and filled up.  Gas was $2.39.

We left home at 1700 and headed to Shepard’s Grill for dinner.  We each had a bowl of soup.  Shepard’s is a neighborhood bar.  We met several neighbors.  It was snowing hard when we left Shepard’s.

At home we watched the news.  Finished the evening watching an episode of Call the MidWifes.
