It ’s been quite a week .
Hurricane Otto give us a crew of pelting but no veridical trouble , my wife left for the United States Department of State for a week , I pen K of word for NaNoWriMo ( National Novel Writing Month ) , my painting are mother better and I handle to post multiple new videos despite the rain .
Here ’s the suspension - down on what ’s happening , plus some good news .

The Sad Case of the Busted Car
Our new vehicle is all in at the moment and getting a mechanic to work on it proved to be more hard than expected .
It looks great … but expression can be deceiving !
One lad told me he ’d come by and check it out and that we could tow it to his place , then was too bond up to help … so it sat for more than a week … and then my pastor called on Friday and said “ Has that guy gotten to your car yet ? If not , I have a mechanic and a towage truck guy that will get it done chop-chop ! ”

It looks great… but looks can be deceiving!
That sounded respectable to me , so I let the first guy go and it will be taken to the shop sometime today . We are pray it is n’t the whole engine that ’s messed up , as that would be expensive .
We shall see .
My Missing Wife
Rachel had to go back to the province by chance for the funeral of her grandma . Her nan was quite a woman and Rachel was faithful to her , so this was n’t easy for her or her menage .
I am quite glad she set out to go , and that we had lots of light-green bananas on the homestead we could eat . There are about seven husk in the house right now – it ’s ridiculous . The ponderous rain has make multiple tree to fall over before the yield was fully ripe .
So far I ’ve electrocute them , boiled them and put them into soup .

I even painted some of them .
When life gives you green banana tree , paint their portrayal .
Bat Attractant
I was written by Charles , the representative of a company that has developed a bat attractant to get bat moving into chiropteran house . He writes :
“ Have you also check out out our raw , field - tested bat house attractant , Hello Bat ? We collaborated with bat experts and design it to boost cricket bat conservation efforts . In special , we ’re hop it competitively displace the toxic ammonia enticement and guano lures that spread bat diseases , such as blanched - nose syndrome . Unlike other attractants , Hello Bat is research - base and utilize the primary roost odors ( including 2′-Aminoacetophenone ) of major North American chiropteran species . It is airfield - tested and effective .
You should check it out . I think your reader would hump it . If you like it , please experience free to connect to it . It ’s available on our website , Blue Moon Bell , which is located athttps://bluemoonbell.com/products/bathouse-lure , and alsosold on Amazon at this data link .

So far , we ’ve received positive feedback , including from Amazon , which label it the # 1 new release in squash racquet supplies with 5 - hotshot ratings across the board . ”
If this works as advertised , it ’s a with child thought and much need .
Last week , incidentally , I paint a picture of the abandoned construction move around bat house a poor walk from our theatre .

That ’s the piazza where I shoot this :
