I decided not to go out of town this weekend because of several local event opportunities. I woke up early (0630) and got ready for my day. Between 0745 and 0915, I attended the monthly Men of St. Joseph meeting at Sacred Heart. Afterwards, I did an hour of paint chipping (for Father Charles) and finished at 1030. From there, I drove to Jakes and got gas and car wash. Next, I drove to White River Junction so I could work out at UVAC. I arrived at 1100 and rode a stationary bike for 20 minutes (5 miles), rowed for 10 minutes and lifted weights. After that, I went swimming for 45 minutes and took in a 10 minute sauna. Finished with the gym, I drove home (arrived at 1310) and spent a few hours resting and doing paperwork. At 1530, I drove to Sacred Heart and helped out in the kitchen (prepping for the Parish event in the evening) I went to Mass at 1600 and, afterwards, returned to the kitchen. Beginning at around 1700, our Knights Council served a big feast for Oktoberfest at Sacred Heart. Father Charles added some of his own recipes into the mix! There were Brats & Kraut, Noodles & Sauerbraten, Kartoffelpuffer (German Potato Pancakes), Bingo games, prizes and decadent sweets. All told, we had good food, fun and fellowship. I headed home afterwards (1900) and spent the rest of the evening watching movies. It sure wasn't a boring day!
