Saturday

Fall weather is clearly evident in this relaxing Saturday.

The temperature remained in the low 70s with some wind. Typical for this time of year. However, I did check the temperature forecast for tonight on The Weather Channel app and with the National Weather Service. They came up with differing conclusions.

The Weather Channel said that it will be 37° at 6:00 tomorrow morning. Whereas, the National Weather Service said that the low will be 41°.

I decided to err on the side of caution and brought into the house the mini jade plant. The low temperatures of last winter almost did it in. But it revived after I brought it indoors.

For today's recreation, I drove the Jeep into the new Mesa Ridge Ranch subdivision next to ours. The gate at the top of the main road was (of course) closed and locked. On the other side of it is the Cibola National Forest. As far as anyone here knows, there's no access into this section of the Cibola National Forest.

After getting back home, I did put up a few posters inside the garage. One was a Reagan poster, a poster for Godzilla vs. Biollante and a poster for the fan film, Godzilla vs. The Legendary Wolfman.

After that, I did some tinkering with the idle of the Jeep. It had been conking out today whenever I made a stop or changing gears. I improved it a little, but I need an angle screwdriver to adjust one of the other jet screws to finish the job (a set is now on order). Thank goodness the Jeep came with an owners' manual!

Later, I then headed into Gallup for some sushi for dinner. Not a bad way to finish the day.
