The summer heat breaks..
Tonight the moon is full, and the air is dry and crisp. I rode the motorcycle to workout this evening, and actually felt a bit chilly turning into the neighborhood under the trees. A few windows are open, and I know I'm not going to miss the roar of the air conditioner tonight. It's nice when the heat finally breaks as it did on Monday when a cold front and some rain came through Austin. I'm sure the yard thought I was going to kill it through dehydration, but its coming out of the dormancy and starting to grow just a bit. Good thing about St. Augustine grass - no water, no grow - no grow, no mow. I'll have to trim it up at some point.
Brent, Daryl, Charles and I, pictured above, spent the Labor Day weekend hanging around Austin, and as guests at Art & Dan's house for part of a 3-day party. The food was excellent, the guests were fun, the house was amazing, and it had a great pool, which made up for the lake being as far down as seen in the photo. It was a treat having the boys up from San Antonio to stay a couple of nights.
In a week, I'll be landing in Frankfurt, mom in tow, heading to Octoberfest. The arrangements have been made for a good time all around, and I'm really looking forward to being back there.
The Nepal trip is looming on the horizon too. I've been shopping at REI to get some trekking clothes and travel clothes. I've got some good Ex Officio stuff that you can wash in the evening, hang up to dry, and have it in the morning dry. Packing light is going to be critical.
