One of life's mysteries, who we gravitate to and form friendships. I buried a dear friend last Tuesday, and they are never replaced.

Well everyone, thanks again for putting up with me.
My wife has tabulated an answer.
I need to repeat rule #3 since it was very close. The closest under/ over guess wins.

My wife counted 359
Danno50 was 26 away under, but Tyson was 23 over. Hence Tyson was closer and the winner. I guessed 487
Thank you again for helping me celebrate a new granddaughter.
Tyson, please have Gary contact me through a PM.

Be well all.
My 3rd day home- I have been really struck down with a slightly more aggressive version of the Man FluGood morning Guardians, I woke up with a cold, I could well do withoutHoping it's gone soon
The weather doesn't look so good , overcast, raining, and cold. I was going to get a haircut, but I might stay in, and do some work instead
I hope everyone's week is going smoothly, and that you have a good day today

Iβm sure heβs doing alright.
Glad to hear they're doing OK buddy, kids have gone back here this week tooYesterday was the girls first day of school; Eleanor is in 4th grade now, and Scout started kindergarten. Scout was a bit apprehensive at drop-off yesterday morning, but she had a great first day and was excited to go back today.
Nice idea Barrett, and thanks for taking us along with you, those are great picsWith the change in schedule, Iβm trying to be a bit more active and get some exercise in. I could certainly stand to lose a few pounds, but really itβs more about just making healthy decisions. So this morning after I dropped the girls off at school, I started walking the Dakota Rail Trail. It will take me several walks over a few weeks to complete the 28 mile trail, especially because Iβll technically have to walk the whole thing twice in order to get back to where I park each time.
Today I walked 4 miles and covered the first 2 miles of the trail, which starts in Wayzata, MN.

The old cabin can be found in a park in Wayzata, near the beginning of the trail.

Because the trail was built on the bed of an old railroad track, the whole thing is fairly straight and level. Thereβs not a whole lot to see on this stretch, and the first two miles run alongside a busy road so thereβs quite a lot of noise from that, but it was still an enjoyable walk.

Thanks Barrett.Great GAW, Bob β sorry I missed it! I might have been tempted to participate for that handsome Cosimo, but having previously won one of your giveaways, Iβm glad someone else had a chance. (I wouldβve lost anyways, my guess would have been around yours.)

looks like a great trail to walk, Barrett! I should start doing more walking myself.
Nice idea Barrett, and thanks for taking us along with you, those are great pics![]()
Thanks Barrett.
I hope the young ladies have a great school year. So glad Scout enjoyed her first day. Having taught kindergarten for 31 years, I know it can be overwhelming.
Beautiful trail to enjoy a walk.

Real glad Scout had a great first day!
Callie and I were impressed too! Thanks for the funny reply. We just made it home in Dallas safely. Long day!
That must have been rewarding BobThanks Barrett.

Great to see you here Jeremy, those are very elegant knives I thinkHappy 9/3 day Guardians. I've been largely absent from here recently with everything that has been sucking up my time. Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to fall like I am. Picking one of Charlie's lambs is almost like picking your favorite child but I REALLY like the ebony on this one.

Handsome pairing Mitch
We have quite a few of those old railway trails here too Barrett, also mainly aimed at cyclists. Cool pic of Eleanor!Thanks, Dan. It is a nice trail, really geared more toward cyclists, I think, but good for a walk, as well.
Thanks, Jack. Eleanor and I actually did the whole trail once before, but that was several years ago now, before Scout was born, and Eleanor was small enough that she rode in a stroller for most of it (though she did a good bit of walking, too).

That's niceScout was lucky enough to get the same kindergarten teacher Eleanor had, which we had been hoping for.
I'm sure everyone will look forward to thatYep, I figured Iβd post an update every time I check off another couple miles. Should be a good way to keep myself doing it.![]()
Glad you got back OK DaveCallie and I were impressed too! Thanks for the funny reply. We just made it home in Dallas safely. Long day!
Every day, their positive attitude got me going. I taught physical education for 3 hrs. before that.That must have been rewarding BobGood for you
