I cast ballot number 90 at our polling place. Given the hour (10AM) and the small size of our community, I take that to be a sign that people are getting out and voting.
Nice day here - lots of sun.
Noticed that the furnace wasn't running "right," so I did a little investigating and found that the blower drive belt was loose. It's fixed now! Changed the filters, too.
Which reminds me - it's time for an oil change in the truck.
On to other projects.

Well, the three of us went and cast our votes about 11:30 this morning. Where we vote, there has never been a line out the door into the hallway: until today. Three precincts in one building. So they had someone inside the door, asking for address, and letting you know which table to go to. Guess we were in there about 30, 45 minutes.
Our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now underway and on the warmer station:
1. Tacos (soft shell and crunchy shell)
2. Burritos (beef, beef & bean and beef enchilada style)
3. Enchiladas
4. Spanish rice
5. Mesquite grilled porterhouse steaks
6. Mesquite grilled 2 in. thick pork chops
And we have the usual appetizers of tortilla chips w/your choice of salsa, picante sauce, hot pepper sauce and con quaso (sp?).
Everyone enjoy, have a good afternoon/evening, take care and see you all later.
.....Including the line outside and inside our Precinct voting location today, it took me 55 minutes to vote. Electronic machines, were a breeze.
Don't believe I've ever seen such a line at our {church}, location of voting.....in the past 45 years.

Good Evening/Morning
OK...So it is morning now...
Well, had to spend more time at the doctors as my ankle has decided to become all twisted up after I did a face plant out in the parking lot at w**k today...I was supposed to start w**k at w**k but seeing as how I bent my ankle out of whack I've got another 2 weeks tacked on......they want me healthy here y'know...
So..later on today, hopefully I will be having some frozen veggies already for my ankle as well as my gelpack....sigh...

Good Wednesday morning all. BC, take care of yourself, and that ankle!! All of us here want you healthy also!!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And breakfast is on the warmer station.
Sorry about getting in here so late this morning, but had boo coo emails to go through this morning.
Our temps are in the low to mid 40s this morning, with sprinkles/drizzles of rain. Supposed to clear up later this afternoon, with temps in somewhere in the mid 50s.
Everyone have a good morning, take care and see you all later.
Bright sunshine here this morning....and not as cool as yesterday. B C....You are dure to have a better "luck" run in your daily routine....Sure hope so.
Looks like several warmer days are on tap next. Welcome...! Yard mowing coming up in a day or two.
May we hope to see our political system get set to really do some work together, for the good of our country....Hope much of the nastiness subsides.....We can hope, can't we....
afternoon
ns still has a crane in our siding and a Norx coal train waiting to go east.Nice day outside.Chores to do inside too.CW thanks for supper.
stay safe

Afternoon all. Looks like we're having a pretty slow day in here today.
Lunch/supper is ready and now on the warmer station:
1. Burgers, cheeseburgers, fries, garden salad
2. Grilled chicken, steak, pork chops w/broccoli spears, corn, peas, baked taters w/butter and biscuits
Drizzles/sprinkles seem to be out of here now, and the sky is beginning to lighten a bit. Need to make a run to the store, so everyone have a good afternoon, and see you all later.
Good afternoon and peace be with you. Wife and I went to the quack for our quarterly checkup and decided to get a flu shot. Nurse came in with a needle meant for large men or small horses.... She had a tiny one for the wife. Anyway, got some disturbing news from the doc about obamacare and people 70 or older. Won't say more than we old codgers have a rough road ahead if we make it past 70.
Came home to find the computer acting up, and even worse, the tools to fix it weren't accessible. Finally got it to do a system restore and now it seems to be chugging along very well. My audio card went belly up lastweek, so I'm waiting for the new one to show up.
CSX had people at every crossing on the way home passing out a paper on driver safety and trains. It didn't say, but I assume it was Operation Lifesaver related.
Thass about all. Everyone stay safe and keep warm.

Good Evening
We had all day sun!!! Yes we did!! An amazing feat happened here!!!
And because of that I did a few things outside with the neighbour clearing out our eavestrough from the lovely Maple trees growing on it....he did the gruntwork and I did the 'supervising'...
Then spent the last little while exercising and icing the ankle..it does feel a bit better now....
Good Morning...
Everything is still here...excepting me...who is up at weird hours of the day...again.
BUT...it is going to be sunny again!! 2 days in a row for sun!! YAY!!
Got the breakfast goodies all at the ready here....lunches getting prepped already...
Anyhow..off to check what is up here....
Good Thursday morning all. BC, glad your ankle is doing better. And thank you, BC, for getting breakfast ready this morning!
Starting out with temps in the low to mid 30s, going for a high in the low to mid 50s again today. We seem to be stuck in this particular pattern; but, at least we're supposed to see a bit more sunshine today. Which is good, as for today and tomorrow, I have doctor appointments. Regular checkup w/primary care doctor today, and the cardiovascular doctor tomorrow.
Want to wish a Very Happy Birthday to Walt (locomutt), who turns 62 years young today!! Hope you have a great day, enjoy and Many Happy Returns to you!!
You all have a good morning, take care and see you all sometime this afternon.

We have nice clear blue sky here this morning. Frosty earlier, but bright sunshine took care of it as soon as it was shining on the grass....
Terrible conditions still underway in the east around Jersey / NY area.....So terrible. Those who will....Pray for those folks to get thru this.
Happy Birthdday, Big Dog!

Well, after sitting in the waiting room for almost 2 hours, finally got called back to an exam room. Everything A-OK. Now, 1 to go for tomorrow. Finally got back home just before 2 p.m. Don't have to see this doctor again until February.
For supper tonight:
Italian spaghetti w/meatballs or you can have meat sauce, garden salad and your choice of garlic Texas toast or Italian bread sticks. Dessert tonight: strawberry cheesecake, Angel food cake w/cherry frosting (Walt's favorite cake), and chocolate brownies.
Beautiful sunshine right now, at 4:24. Not sure of exact temp, but somewhere in the mid 50s. Everyone enjoy your evening, take care and see you all sometime tomorrow (not sure if I'll make it in here in the morning).
Hope you enjoyed your special day Walt.....Best wishes to you.
Hmmmm... Haven't been on all day and I missed the birthday cake...
Best wishes, 'Mutt, and many more (from someone who's about three weeks older....)
Nice day here today - no rain forecast until Saturday. But it's still fall - overnight temps in the 20's most nights.
Speaking of being old (only as old as you feel - some days 16, some days 60), it's time for bed...

Thanks for All the birthday wishes, it was a pretty Special day!!
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Well, my biggest wait was in the exam room, waiting for the doctor to come in. It was long enough, that I was about to fall asleep, sitting there in the chair. But everything is okay, haven't had any shortness of breath, no chest pains, etc. Good to go for the next 6 months, when I go back to him.
Looks like our Friday Fish Fry is ready and on the warmer station. All the regular kinds of fish, side dishes and desserts.
And our current temp is somewhere in the low 60s, should reach 66 by 4 p.m. Beautiful sunshine , too.
Everyone have a good afternoon, enjoy and see you all later.
And we have some more of the sunshine today thru light clouding at times. 57.9 degrees right now....That's pretty good.
Must put mittens on my outside spigots yet....and one more {at least}, mowing and it's to be nice tomorrow, so hope to be doing that.
Did dusting over the whole house today...and just finished cleaning one bathroom...The other does not get used much at all anymore......and have friends coming soon with Pizza, so won't start any more things to do around here today.
The winds of the last week or so, have treated me very well this year in getting rid of the neighbor's leaves....Seems they blew on by for the most part....More so, than I've seen for quite a long time. Still a few to mulch, and we'll be doing that with the mowing.
Larry, that 20's temps for overnight sounds a bit cool.....That would be our avg. sometime later, but not yet. Believe we reach that avg. bottom about the 3rd week in January, and that is about 18 degrees. Then it starts back the other way....Hopefully.
good morning
helped dad yesterday in celina with chores around the house.We went to lunch and RJ Corman came into town to do some switching.Everything with his doctor went ok as well.Today it's our turn to clean our church.Going to be warm in the 60's so maybe afterwards we'll go see some trains.Breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready.Get out and enjoy the great day.
Good Saturday morning all. It's going to be a beautiful sunshiny day here in Louisville. But I will be doing laundry, so probably won't get to enjoy the weather that much. Joe, thanks for coming in early and taking care of breakfast and making the coffee and juice. I really appreciate the help you guys give me around here.
Everyone have a fantastic day, enjoy the good weather, take care and see you all later this afternoon for our pizza fest.
Good Morning!!
A wonderfully dull, foggy, misty, mostly yucky day for our viewing pleasure.
Got a few days of staying off'n the feet here...so the ankle may get a chance of getting a bit less swole up...
Morning All! A beautiful day down here in Alamo City. Sunshiney and the temp is currently 74.
I have a three day weekend for Veterans Day. Then its back to work up in Shreveport.
BC: Hope you get to feeling better.
Everyone have a great Saturday!
A beautiful mild, and mosty sunny day unfolding here. Stuff to do outside.
