The day is fine and the boat is resting on dry land

In a small town near to the (even smaller) town where Adam, Jenny, and Lily live, they have a two-fer store. The store is not onlly a hardware story, but also a pharmacy. You can pick up drill bits with your Drixoral.

We've had a stretch of beautiful fall weather. Yesterday, Adam and Jennie removed our boat from the water and brought it to a marina near their home. The folks at the marina will winterize, shrink-wrap, and store the boat for the winter.

The daytime temperatures have been pleasant. Nights are long and cool. We have a thermometer (not one of these) that lets us measure the water temp. A number of 70 or 55 or whatever isn't much help, however. The relative water temperature is set on a scale of:

Nice
Refreshing
Cool
Cold
Mighty cold
Ice
Too much ice for sauna

Happy 7^th Birthday, Lily.
