woke up this morning to see the first snow of the season. that brought back a few memories. i remember being told to wash my face in the first snow. that was so we wouldnt get sick as much that winter. i still do this if i can remember. this morning it wake me up. the first snow also means that now we can go rabbit hunting. thing is you dont see as many rabbits as we used to. i couldnt wait for the first snow when i was young so i could hunt rabbits.  i would walk all day. sometimes i would get some rabbits, other times not.  we would hang them up for a few days after we cleaned them to improve the taste. i wonder where the rabbits are that used to bother my garden. they are long gone now.

i cleaned out my chimney for the upcoming wood burning season. i already had a fire going. the stove started smoking a few times. so i knew it was time to clean the pipes out. i do that at least 4-5 times a year. i replace the stove pipes regularly. nothing beats the heat of a woodstove.

i bought some sheetrock for my winter project. i have to replace the lower parts of some walls in the basement. they developed mold. the tops are okay, so i will just cut the bottoms off and re-rock it. gotta do demo work first. i have some floor to ceiling shelving units in a couple of rooms. i made them out of pine boards. i hope i can remove them without damaging the boards. the cost of them went up since i put them in years ago. no house has enough storage space. i dont know how long this  will take me, but my boys will be home from school to help when they can. they will help hang the rock. then there is taping, sanding and painting. at least i can have a fire going to keep warm.

my sons will be home with thanksgiving coming up and the semester will be over next month. we already bought a turkey for thanksgiving. some older lady at the store said to wait cuz the price of turkeys will drop just before thanksgiving. i said it seems like it would be the opposite with the demand going up. she said no. i didnt want to wait so got it now to save a trip next week. i will watch the prices to see if she was right.

i watched k u’s football game saturday. i was hoping for a win. i figured they were due. i watch all game only to be disappointed at the end. i am still a fan no matter what they do. football was just something to do until basketball season started. this year we should have a great basketball team. i seen them play. i will follow them all the way. hopefully another national championship.
