It's concrete mixing day! SirKit had bought a HUGH mixer a couple of years ago, and only just got it switched from a gasoline to an electric motor. In the Middle Earth theme, we're calling it Balin.

We're gonna mix up our first batch in it today, about 8 cu.ft. to create one of the slabs under the lower deck. It's a thin slab, with metal threads in it for strength, rather than re-bar.

Today is a beautiful day here, too! The downtown is having it’s Oktoberfest, so we were entertained with bad rock-and-roll music last night ‘til we shut the windows. I bought some kettlecorn at the grocery store yesterday, so we can sit on the porch swing and people-watch w/o having to go to the ~festival~.

Miss Gypsy was able to complete a longer, short walk than she has for a long time. Then she came home, ate a bit, and is now crashed. All hail the power of vienna sausages and braunsweiger!
