There hasn't been an update for a while since I haven't really done much. I went out to Aunt's and Uncles to finish up cleaning out his camper spot (he had already sold the camper). I got a reminder that winter was coming; I had to take Route 9 across Vermont because I forgot to move my ez-pass, and the mountains in Vermont were already covered in snow.
I didn't get a good picture, but the wind was howling too. There were whitecaps even on the smaller ponds.
I got some more stuff.
I have been doing some cheese exploration, since the regular cheese I get has gotten really expensive. And I eat a lot of cheese. This deli cheese was a dud. 
The CR-V went and got its new tires and whatnot installed. I am hopeful that these tires are the last ones I ever have to put on the car, but we shall see. I estimate it will be in the 160k-170k when these are toast, and I often get rid of vehicles around that timeframe. Unfortunately the coolant leak (I had to put coolant in it twice on my trip) was the radiator. I didn't think it was shifting bad, but the transmission service made a world of difference, and it now shifts much faster and firmer.
On a side note, this was the first significant mileage I put on my e-bike since I got the pedals drilled out and fixed properly a couple months ago, and it seemingly worked well. It was a bit chilly (especially the second ride where I didn't remember to wear pants), but the bike performed as expected. My car had an almost identical twin when I went to pick it up. Same trim too, it had the same sunroof and leather interior.
I didn't do anything during the week, since it is dark before I leave work now. I did check that I can lift one half of the carport, since I still need to figure out how move that before winter.
Last weekend was the LAN, up in Vermont. One of the days was nice and we went out for a hike.
It went around a pond. The water was surprisingly clear for the northeast at least. It wasn't as clear as your alpine lakes out west, but for Vermont at a lower elevation it was nice.
There was a little restaurant on the water, though it was closed, presumably for the season. The water was a bit on the chilly side, I would guess low 50s, maybe upper 40s.
The house for the LAN had a hot tub. I made use of it. I miss mine, and can't wait for the deck to be built to get it set up again.
This weekend I am going to a friendsgiving on Long Island. I had to drive in with snow on the ground this morning, so it looks like winter doesn't want to wait. I need to get moving on at least the carport. Once the carport is done, at least everything is covered and I can work on things a lot easier. I am thinking I might just skip my final mow for the year; I don't have enough daylight hours, and at the present moment the only functional mower I have is the push mower, which is really hard to start when it is this cold out. The following weekend is the traveling weekend for Thanksgiving. I might take off Sunday night instead and see if I can get the carport finished or at least in place and ready for roofing next weekend. I am pretty much out of time, which seemingly happens every year.
