new mower

I went out this morning and looked at the mower I had been researching. The local dealer had one in stock. Everything seemed to fit well and I bought it to replace my old Cub Cadet. I made a couple passes across the yard when I got it home. I still have to get accustomed to the steering, but that will come soon enough. It mows very well and is faster and more maneuverable that the tractor was. 
 

Finally got to go fishing again

I finally got a weekend off, so Heather and I went to Cave Run for some fishing. The lake is most of the way down to winter pool, so there is a lot more timber exposed.

The sun made some pretty dramatic shadows coming over the hills.

We didn't really have the lake to ourselves in spite of what it looks like. We were # 7 in the parking lot at arrival and about 20 or so in the lot when we left.

The fall color is past peak, but still a beautiful day to be out. We didn't catch anything, though.
