It's survivor TV night. Tomorrow is out to dinner for Halloween. It's also going to be chilly/cold tomorrow. Right now it's warm, only got down to 70 last night, but now the temp will be dropping all day. Bummer! Well, at least we had a nice 80 degree day yesterday and temps into nov look to be around mid to upper 50's with even a 60 and sunny day too. Nice!!

80+F Oct 29th!!
This is the last 80 degree day this year, October 29th! I'm already planning my afternoon to be outdoors as much as possible to soak up the warmth and sun! Yesterday was 74/75 degrees so I worked in the morning and then when it warmed up around 12:30, I went for an hour ebike ride going 13.6 miles. I'll do that again today along with laying in the back yard hammock one more time before I take it down for the year too.
It's going to rain tomorrow through the weekend. We do need the rain, but that just means no going outside and enjoying any of the 60 degree days.

Fall Colors
Just a few fall colors. The leaves are dropping fast. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday next week will be the last of the nice warmer days. I saw a 70 degree day in there. It's almost the end of October, so we can't expect to have any more warm 70+ days. We were lucky to get 83 on Monday and 75+F on Tuesday. Now back to semi color 55 degree temps. That's still, above average for this time of year. We've gotten snow by the 31st in past years. / Last year! I don't see snow in the forecast till the end of November, but that's a long way out and things can change.
I'm cat sitting this weekend, so not going anywhere. It would have been fun to do one more last car camping trip. It would have been chilly, but still do able. I'm not even sure where we'd go?On my bike ride Monday I took a smaller path going through a neighborhood in Rosemount.

SATURDAY
I had a Groupon for St. Paul's Downtown cafe for breakfast. It was like a time warp in that place. The portions were huge so we shared an omelet, hash browns, toast and some bacon. Delicious, but nothing we couldn't have made at home. It was only 8.34, plus I had to spend a little extra on tip and the extra bacon. $10 dollars. So $18 in all for breakfast. It was something to do on a Saturday morning.
After we drove to Kaposa Park in IGH the park is full of maple trees.
Always turns bright yellow and orange. It's been so dry, most of the leaves just turned brown and fell off. It was still pretty but not spectacular like other years.
We decided to make food last night for dinner. Treated ourselves to Beef tenderloins, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese with a side salad and some Wine spritzers. Since it was nice outside, we sat by our fire table and ate dinner. A nice night. It would have been a nice night for a bonfire, but with the fire burning ban right now. Can't do that!
My food with added herbs from my pots and mushroom caps too.

A fun Friday!
Steve took the boat to storage and I worked till noon. We both finished our morning plans at the same time and were home by 12:30. We decided to try a BBQ place recommended by a Tic Tok'er Tony Q we follow. It's a dive of a place, cheap bar drinks and really good BBQ that's inexpensive! I'd skip the sides, but the ribs and brisket were a 10 out of 10!
