November 18-21

Daytime activities during the early part of the week were the usual including Wednesday lunch with Jenny. Stopped by the rink on Monday afternoon and found it in reasonably good condition, there were leaves on the surface but nothing that couldn't wait until we opened up for the evening. The championship series began on Monday with the Killbots victorious in game #1, NTS replied with wins on Tuesday and Thursday to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of five series. Game #4 is on Monday the 25th, if it goes the distance the fifth game would be the next night. In 2018 we started the fall season on September 24 and ended seventy-one days later on December 3, this season started one week earlier on September 17. Should the 25th be the last game we would be done in seventy days, the same length save for one day but it feels different because of the Thanksgiving holiday. In 2018 it was on November 22nd (as early as it can be) while this time around it falls on the the 28th. It makes a big difference finishing three days before the holiday as opposed to eleven days after it, if that is what happens nobody will complain. The long-range forecast looks good so weather should not an issue except for the temperatures and that's something we can deal with. Take care, thanks for reading.
