Perhaps a bit on the pessimistic side we have updated our wills (badly needed doing anyway) and some other lawyer stuff.
I had plans to reactivate the horse boarding enterprise which I had put on hold for the year mostly due to the last couple of years of drought really damaging the pastures. They are in good shape now but when I found out about my dicky-ticker situation I put it on hold now until spring or at least maybe February or so. We currently only have 3 client horses here and they are completely owner cared for. Our 6 are wintered on about 60 acres of pasture and corn stubble and usually only require water, minerals and regular hugging for the winter.
My old laptop was getting shabby with a number of case cracks and several keys that sometimes required several strikes to get the letter especially the J key so I just bought a new laptop. I also upgraded my Ancestry.com account from the basic to the global. That in itself will be enough to keep me busy for the winter.
I love genealogy and now some of the family are clamoring for information.My intended early winter camping trips are on hold but we may get in some winter camping yet depending on the kind of weather we get. A play it by ear situation.
Diana can drive the motorhome as long as I tell her where the corners are. I'm really looking forward to some time in the basement woodshop. No projects in mind yet, mostly just light cleaning, sorting, organizing, labeling... That sort of thing. I love it always being warm and 30 seconds away... Time in my farm / mechanics shop will depend on the kind of winter we get. Like most of the country it can go either way with little warning. We have had Christmas days that were 70 degrees and others that were 20 below. I really wanted to get that shop closed in better and far better heating arrangements sat up. The clock has ran out on getting that done but with luck and an open winter I may still get some work done in there especially in the later winter. It is in an old 36' x 50' barn with several loft levels including a smallish 3 story section at one end. I may end up paying someone to do a small amount of work to divide it into 2 areas (on the first floor) about half heated and half unheated.
Speed of recovery will make a lot of decisions for me. I'm quite determined to be able to be lightly productive by the 1st week of December. Not major construction or wrangling horses of course
but active and busy... I've been trying to walk at least a mile a day outside now everyday and a little time on the treadmill on crappy days. I am also using the basement stairs a bunch of times a day to help stay in decent condition.Time will tell. (shrug)

I failed to type the last line of that message. 
) we usually make special plans kind of like nuts hiding squirrels. No wait Squirrels hiding nuts...
