Fall Approaching

It was another peaceful visit to the lake this weekend. You can definitely tell that Fall is approaching. But that makes it extra nice to go down there because a large number of visitors have stopped going for the summer. It makes the boat traffic less of a pain and the boat rides a lot more enjoyable.

On Friday, I took my car in to Baron Automotive to have a few minor repairs done and was given a new 3-Series loaner. It sure was a blast to drive and the features are extra-amazing - the Xenon headlights were my favorite part. It gets insanely good gas mileage, too. It goes back early tomorrow.



Saturday morning we all got up and went for a boat ride. The weather was amazing. There is nothing better than a quiet morning boat ride. Then we spent the rest of the day kicking around the dock and house. The dogs (as usual) spent a good part of the time in the lake.



Saturday evening after dinner, Scott and I went outside on the deck to relax. I just couldn't take it. It was the most absolutely perfect evening outside. "LET'S GO FOR A FREAKIN' BOATRIDE," I said. So we grabbed a carafe of coffee and headed for the main channel.



It was actually a boat ride that lasted into the night. Along the way we saw some of the amazingly huge homes on the lake, including those seen here.





Kristen and I got up this morning, watched the Italian Grand Prix, where (you guessed it) Michael Schumacher won and announced his retirement. We then went for a short run and headed back home. It felt like it took nine hours to get home. Ugh!

Oh yeah...The Chiefs and Royals still suck.
