Ocala Pumpkin Run

After the Jeeptoberfest and pizza we went to the Ocala Pumpkin Run for the rest of the afternoon. 

The husband was peeved when we wandered the For Sale section. Here is what I need to buy, a Pinto: 

Then we wandered through the many people to look at all of the cars. It was a huge car show. These are the highlights of the hundreds of pictures I took.

Jeeptoberfest 2013

On 10/26/13 Ocala, Florida had not one but two HUGE car shows. 

The husband traded a car for a Jeep a few weeks back. When he heard there was Jeeptoberfest he had to go. 

We took along the father in-law and started out at 7 am to get in both shows. It was $5 to get in without a Jeep. The husband and his dad picked up tons of free swag. They were giving away stickers, koozies and imforation and key chains. I took pictures. We watched people drive through the courses. It was a ton of fun. 

They reported after the festival that over 1200 Jeeps came. The husband kept walking around telling people about his 1976 CJ-5 and how he was going to be in the Jeeptoberfest next year. 

Here is the first half of the day at Jeeptoberfest: 

I love this color. 

The husband loves a vehicle he has to climb into. 

The wetest part of the course. 

I like the color scheme. 

The tougher course had hills and rocks. 

This one looks fun for camping. 

This man restored a 1946 Jeep Willys starting when he was 12. 

Beautiful

Fancy

The camo Jeep helped pull Jeeps out when they were stuck on the course. 

Rock climbing

That looks like fun. 

They look good all lined up. 

There's that Renegade again. 

Jeep Wagoneer that the husband had years ago. 

13 in 13: October Update

1. Sell 150 items: 
54 items sold in 2013. Plus 3 unpaid for the last couple weeks. Still far from the goal. I have gone through the books and took the ones that have been sitting a while without selling into the donation pile. It feels good to clean out the stock. It will feel even better to get the donations out of the house.

9. Improve at Work: 
I have been calmer. I keep telling myself that I can only worry about myself and my case load. I help out when I can. I came close to being moved to another area, but said I didn't want to. I did have a moment when I got paranoid and thought there was some plot against me. I let my supervisor know how I felt. I felt good about sticking up for myself.

10. Take a Real Vacation: 
Tennessee last month. Nothing else planned since with the change in companies (same job, same place, different employer) I start from scratch with leave time. Ugh.

11. Try Something New: 
New group I'm doing at work: Resentment and Forgiveness.

12. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: 
The recycling at home is always more than actual trash. I am finding new uses for items. I am saving bottle caps for a craft project. I am considering some crafts for all the glass the local collection center locally does not take.

13. More home improvement: 
With the recent raise at work, money coming for my unused leave time from the last employer and getting into the loan repayment program for my student loans, I am getting serious about the improvement plans. It is coming, even the bigger projects.
