Hard to make the time to do everything, I know. But, I'm trying to go out at least for a couple of hours on the weekends before it's too late for the year. They're talking that the weather is supposed to change to bitterly cold right about Thanksgiving weekend (and I have an old, unsearched, early 1900's race track lined up). :-( If all else fails, guess it will still be there in the spring.

Oh, for those interested...this weekend is the annual meteor shower. Saturday night and Sunday night, although Sunday is supposed to be best between midnight and dawn (best right before dawn, supposedly, but you never know). They're forecasting that it could be the best shower in almost 40 years. I think 1966 was the best on record...500,000 falling stars in the space of an hour. (That's over 100 every second...hard to imagine). Anyway, Earth passes through the middle of one of the major debris clouds, so should be pretty good even if it doesn't reach a level like that.
