Gloomy weather
Nov. 25th, 2021 06:09 pmBut Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans reading this.
Went up to Burlington, Wisconsin to Gary's brother's place. We hadn't seen Wayne or his partner Elaine for quite a while, so it was nice to chat. She has a large family, many of whom showed up for the potluck, and Wayne's son David was there as well (he lives next door to them, in fact.) The Garmin routed us around downtown Woodstock to get there, so traffic was mostly light, and the scenery was interesting though it would look better in the sun I'm sure. Travel time just over an hour, not bad.
Ate too much, of course, and got home worn out. Fortunately we had done all the chores before leaving so we just had to put the horses in their stalls and feed them. A quick clean up of the arena and paddock area and we were done. I don't think either of us is up for any more to eat, though Elaine pressed a pumpkin pie, some fudge, and a chunk of carrot cake on us as we left.
Wayne is becoming quite expert at 3D printing now. His business was in the plastic molding process, largely making custom parts for manufacturing equipment. Now he is able to do replacements or new designs by 3D printing.
There were many dogs in attendance, and much petting was given out. I'm done in, though.
