I hate it when the check engine light comes on. It came on the other day so I took it in today to the Ford dealer where I bought it to have it checked out. Turns out the root cause is that a wiring harness has been chewed on. Yes, chewed. They replaced with wiring and it was fine after that, but almost $200 because of some gol-dang squirrels.
Rock wall climbing yesterday with the Cub Scouts. Alex got at least 6 feet off the ground.

Tonight was the Hillbilly Harvest Party at the Lemps' church, which they also invited the cub scouts to participate in. It's awesome that we have them sponsoring the Cub Scout pack, since they have such a great youth program and they always include us. They had a hillbilly costume contest, hayrides going around the property and stopping at a bonfire in the back 40, and games in the gym. I wore the old standby scarecrow costume, it came in handy tonight. We had some bowling games, and eating a donut on a string, and extreme rock-paper-scissors (didn't work as well as I'd hoped). Lots of fun.
