Well today has been a strange day. Wife and oldest daughter mean as snakes this morning. Wife went off to watch Grandson to watch him play the last soccer game of the season. Glad she went she needed to get out. She was cranky ! The kids and myself installed RIP RAP along the drive way, picked up the house some...I then installed a new storm door ( pain in the back side that was. Then the kids and I carved 4 pumpkins. Then they got dressed and left me here to hand out candy - only one kid came by. I give her a BIG handful of candy, Since it was slow I decided to pop in and say Howdy and see what was going on.

V8 - 2 layers of blankets for the 60s? We are in the 40s at night here and I am still using just one blanket and sheet.

Ray - What is all saints day ?

Garry - I have never like oatmeal. Cant get past the slimy texture. Makes me think I am eating snoy - yuck !

Galaxy - Geez - you muxt be an optimist. I do not think I would be buying under those conditions. Not until she is sure who she wants to be with !

up831 - Have you sent me an email back ? Did you get mine ?

Ken - How are you doing ? Have you tried calling me ?

Turbo - Careful with the langauge even in here we have to keep it clean. Why was it so hard to change teh tire ?

Evenin' folks!

Janie, how about a cup of decaf to warm me up a bit.  All the trick or treaters have been here and gone....  Had about 25/30 tonight.  Up a few from last year.  Very cute little kids for the most part.  Here in town they can come between 6 and 8PM only to houses with the porch light on.  I not only had the light on, I lit and hung out 3 RR Lanterns on the porch.  Still have about half the candy I bought left.

Ray - What is all saints day ?

All Saints day?  Why that is also known as All Hallos Day.  One of the great feast days of the Church.  Even we Presbyterians and at least one of the Missionary Baptist Churches here will be celebrating it tomorrow  (The Baptist Pastor is a good friend of mine and is the President of the MLK Committee.)  He mentioned it last week at the meeting so I just had to kid him about it (What?  Baptists celebrating All Saints?).  He barbed me right back.Smile, Wink & Grin  Halloween or All Hallos Eve is of course the day before.  Kinda like Christmas Eve is the day Before Christmas...  All Saints is followed by All Souls Day (November 2nd).  More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints'_Day

No modeling for me today, but I did hear back from one of my NMRA Officers that he will do a clinic at the Meet in 3 weeks for us.  Whew!  Now everything is basically in place and I can get the info out to the membership via the next newsletter.

Tomorrow evening we will be going out to dinner to celebrate my oldest son's 49th. birthday...  He picked a Japanese Place.  Fine by me, but hopefully I can get something besides raw fish to eat.  It's right downtown, but I have never been there.  Supposed to be getting excellent reviews, so.....

[edit] Just checked the "Sunny Portal" site for my roof...  It did it!  Best October production yet!  The panels produced 288.97 kWh this October.  That is 25.8kWh more than last year and 9.81kWh over 2 years ago.  YES!  I will still be a bit down totally for this year since February was a complete wash...

Have a great night everyone!
