We have noticed that only a little effort leaves us both exhausted. It may be knowing that we still need to clean out the storage area before we leave this week. We're headed to Kansas City for a Petterson family reunion, on the Brick's mom's side. Then it's on to Michigan for November -- and Thanksgiving. We'll park in The Mama's barnyard, and go back to work on several projects, including more repairs on the fifth-wheel that weren't finished in the shop.
Maybe this fatigue is residual from these past frenetic months. We're still not sleeping well, either. Lots of plans going forward; maybe that's part of the struggle.
We're also due for another storm...and thinking we need to leave early for Kansas City, before it hits. Life on the Brick ranch -- who knows what happens next.
Hunting update: the Brick got skunked, elkwise -- but our friends Tommy and his son Chris, both harvested nice-looking bulls. Plenty of meat for the winter!
Colorado's Balloon Boy: What's been happening to Falcon Heene and his family a decade later? Looks like everything's back to normal. What passes for it in the Heene family, anyways.
