We realized last week that Daylight Savings Time should have ended already. We forgot all about it and I guess our phones did too. They don’t keep time like they used to. We have to sync them up every once a while like normal clocks. Yesterday we switched to Standard Time. You can tell because at noon the sun is right overhead. I don’t think we will ever switch back.

I helped Mom harvest the pumpkins at the old house today. It’s actually not too cold and they seem to have turned out fine. Trevor wanted to carve one into a jack-o’-lantern but it’s too late for that. They’re kind of small. We’ll eat them.

Dad and I found a whole bunch of fuel stabilizer in a warehouse in south Dallas. We loaded it up and took it to a gas station not far from our house that has ethanol-free gas. It took us an hour to pour like 300 bottles of fuel stabilizer into the underground gas tanks. It should make the gas last longer. We hope it will last a couple of years. We thought about doing another gas station too, but we don’t think we’ll use more than 30,000 gallons in two years anyway.
