TWIT and I would like to thank some work friends today for the favors they did for us. Bill P and Jammie for using your awesome wood working skills for my craft project. And to Chris K for cleaning the seats in the van and most importantly for cleaning the disgustingly dirty inside windshield. I will definitely use you soon to get the old Ranger truck detailed.
I am so blessed to have such good friends that help us out.
After supper tonight, the Old Man and I started on a Christmas craft project. We had a rocky start, but after a few tries, we achieved the results we wanted in the first phase of our project.
Tomorrow, I will talk to a friend out in the factory who does a lot of woodworking crafts, and ask a big favor from him to cut some "things" for us.
Stay tuned.
TWIT and I would like to thank Daylight Savings Time for giving us all an extra hour of sleep last night. I know I sure enjoyed it. And I don't even mind that it will be getting darker sooner, either. I am just thankful for my extra hour of sleep last night.
At the grocery store today, I would say there was about 50% of the shoppers wearing masks.
Watching the Breeders Cup races today, there was about 99% not wearing masks.
We haven't even recovered from Halloween, and Thanksgiving is weeks away, but it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in the 'Ville.
Tuesday morning, I took a different route to work and on that road I saw the first house fully decorated for Christmas - complete with tons of lights and lots of inflatables. All I will say about that is if it makes you happy, go for it. And I will say that I would not want to have to pay the next two months of electric bills for them.
Second sign of Christmas is coming: on November 1, Sirius added at least 87 Christmas music channels, including themed channels for Kwanza and Hanukah. Let me add a note: Sirius has a regular all-the-time channel of Christmas music just in case you wanted to get into the spirit early in March or August.
Third sign of Christmas is coming: also on November 1, a local radio station switched their format and is playing nothing but Christmas music until midnight Christmas day.
TWIT and I would like to welcome winter weather to the Ohio Valley. The temperatures are forecasted to be at around 30 every night for the rest of the week. So tonight after supper, the Old Man and I will be going out to winterize the chicken coop; meaning, we’ll stretch the extension cord from the barn to the coop and plug in the Girls’ heated waterer.
This year, we are trying a new winter water system – a double-walled waterer and a heated base. The actual waterer is two pieces – the outer part that simply twists off, and the inner part that will hold the water. And it sits on the heated base. So there will be no more fussing and cussing like in years past when I had to flip their heated waterer upside down to fill it, which usually ended up getting more water on my feet and legs than in the waterer.
Stay tuned.
