Bank Day

Today we decided to draw on some of our banked time and went up to Hendersonville for the Apple Festival.  Sadly, the vendor we really wish would come back seems to have stopping coming; I don't think we've seen them since pre-Covid.  However, we did get some food and drinks and got some mileage in.  It started storming so we headed to the car and went to get some food.  After a couple of stops to feed everyone, the rain broke so we went apple picking and got more mileage in there as well.  We came home with a lot of apples and some treats and managed to get our physical requirements done for the day.

I'm glad we've got (hopefully) enough poomesae and self-defense time banked since we didn't have time get to those.  We'll probably do a bit extra tomorrow but we'll see how things look.  I've got a few other things to get done tomorrow as well but, as always, requirements are omnipresent, looming over everything.  I don't know about anyone else but I, certainly, don't want to run the risk of looking bad on testing night from not enough practice.
