It’s Monday. I picked up some autumn essentials recently. I wanted to try out some different brands of pumpkin seeds but Amazon only had them in bulk. So I ended up having to buy multi-packs. Now I have enough pumpkin seeds to get me through at least two or three more years. I opened up a pack of the ones from Island Snacks and they were just okay. I felt they weren’t salty enough, but then I like my pumpkin seeds extremely salty. I’m hoping the Gerbs brand is better. And then we have the candy corn. I know this candy is largely hated by most, but I love the stuff and go through several bags every season. To the haters who believe candy corn to be the worst candy ever made, I say to you: Circus Peanuts. Ack!

Had a really nice weekend with what may have been our final 90 degree day of the year. I’m not ready for the colder weather but it’s coming—and soon.

I checked out an Airplane & Car Show at the Joliet airport on Sunday. There was a huge variety of cars and planes on display and I really enjoyed it. I’ll feature my photos from the show sometime this week.

The Bears beat the Bengals and Kyle Larson won at Bristol… time to tear into a bag of candy corn!
