I’m about two-thirds of the way through this series and am still loving these stories! I’ll be sad when I’m done, but I guess that won’t be for a bit since I usually read a couple of other books in between.

work date
I went to Jeff’s yesterday to help him build a metal shed. I got there in the afternoon so we only had a few hours of daylight in order to work on it and that definitely was not enough. We were able to build the frame and install the corner panels, but we only got one of the side panels installed before it turned dark and cold. That said, everything is set up for production mode now except maybe the roof framing. I bet it takes him another 4-6 hours to finish; we’ll see. One thing that I did not anticipate was having to remove a plastic covering from all of the panels. That took forever! Jeff invited his dad and stepmom over so that we could meet, and they pitched in and helped with the plastic; otherwise, I’d still be removing it. Haha.
I took the dogs on their first trip to Clearfield yesterday. They hung out in the yard all afternoon and barked at everyone who walked down the street, which was apparently exhausting because they didn’t get me up until 7:40 am today for their breakfast. That might be a new record. They met Jeff’s cat, Nutmeg, who was not thrilled about it. Hopefully she will warm up eventually, but she did let the dogs know that she wasn’t going to be taking any of their crap, so they left her alone.

The plot of this movie was implausible. That said, it was a little entertaining, so I’ll give it that. Things picked up in the second half of the movie, and I did like the very ending, but that’s all I have to say about it.
My rating: 3/5
mount davis and other things
We went to Mount Davis on Saturday to check out the fall foliage. Unfortunately, we were a little late for that–the foliage at the top of the mountain was mostly gone–but at least it looked nice on the drive. And the view from the top of the tower was incredible! Mount Davis is the highest point in PA. We also checked out the nearby Baughman Rocks.
On Sunday, my parents came over for lunch. I made pulled pork, coleslaw, and bacon-wrapped smoked carrots. My mom brought a delicious apple pie. It was a nice afternoon.

How is it that Bob Odenkirk is now an action star? Much like his previous action movie that I watched, this one was fine. The action was surprisingly violent, though.
I’ve fallen behind on my movie watching due to being in a relationship (we have not turned the television on yet!), but I had 90 free minutes last night, and this one fit into my schedule.
