What, no pictures today? 

Nope, never pulled the camera from my pocket once yesterday. 

We arrived home late Monday afternoon after a fun and casual drive from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, via Wausau in the north central part of the state. The morning was sunny and cold as we sang our way from west to east.

A stop was made in Wausau. My legs were crying for fresh blood to be pumped through each and as luck would have it, there was a TJ Maxx on the horizon. Sargie did a bit of shopping as I made the rounds of a local sporting goods store. I don't believe either of us bought anything, but it felt good to get out and walk around for a while.

Sargie asked to stop at the Dairy Queen in Eagle River, Wisconsin, where she treated us to hot fudge sundae malts to celebrate the end to a great vacation. It was fun and the past several days flew by.

With the car unloaded, Sargie unpacked everything while I started the fire and did all those things one does after he's been gone a few days. A deer was grazing in the garden and after a quick check of the electric fence, I found snow had covered the bottom wire causing a short in the entire system. That was soon fixed.

I fell asleep in my chair last evening and snoozed right up until bedtime. Dorothy was right as she clicked the heels of her red slippers together, there's no place like home.

A couple of honey-do jobs are on today's agenda, the first being to clean out the trap under the bathroom sink. 

Hmm, I wonder what the poor people will be up to?

I'd like to spend time in the shop setting up the new band saw, then there's the bowl already mounted in the lathe and several scroll saw pieces to begin. It's going to be a busy shop time from now until Christmas getting all the presents completed.

I made the mistake of stepping on the bathroom scales a bit ago. Seems all this good traveling and eating has added a couple of pounds around my waist. Time to cut back on the goodies and become active again. I'll start this morning at first daylight by resuming my walking routine.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
