This morning we drove over to Jody and Bruce's home. Bruce wasn't there as he was applying for a job and then going to the airport to get a flight to Cleveland as his 93 year old grandfather is seriously ill in the hospital. Jody had a "to do" list I so did the inspection and made a parts list. I'll get parts tomorrow on the way back to her place. During the to do list inspection we discovered that Jody and Bruce have a pecan tree. There were many many of them on the ground so I cracked some and we ate them. Jody took the pics of us inspecting the Bahnmiller pecan crop.We went downtown (2 or 3 minute ride) and went for a walk, darn, I forgot the camera. We stopped at the urban farmers market and bought some cukes for vinegar, cukes and onions for Thanksgiving meal. We also got some fruit I'm not familiar with....primonsen (looks like tomato's but you peel it like an apple) and satuma (looks just like small oranges). They are both good. We walked 30 or 40 miles I think. We went to a park on the bay or river and across the river was a shipyard were they were building a new ship for the Navy, I know because there was a picture in this weeks paper. It was being done inside a very large metal building, of course it wasn't an aircraft carrier. We also saw a VERY large crane that we being assembled to lift a structure to the top of the Regency hotel. The cranes boom was about 8 stories tall, hinged, and then the other 8 stories came back to the ground. It was like a giant inverted "V". This was also pictured in the paper. Judy and Jody got some fresh roasted peanuts and candy coated ones as a snack. We walked by, but didn't stop, at the "Wing Ding", a chicken wing cooking contest just like our chili cookoffs. After crawling the last couple blocks back to the car we went home. I watched some of the Michigan Ohio game while the ladies went.....shopping. When they returned we had steak, salad, rolls and cake for supper. Randy and Kristi.....we are cake testing! We got back to our place a 7pm.
