Eric, Allow me to apologize for subjecting the world to this tawdry affair that passes for a democratic process!

good morning all
40 degrees going up to 55 on Election Day, start of warming trend with highs near 70 for next week.
Sounds like nice weather to me.
have been pondering what time to walk over to polling spot down the street. Right at opening is usually too busy because there will always
be folks who want to be first in line, or have to get to work. I have to pick up a few items at the supermarket this morning, think I will go after that.
Will get my gas cans filled on way back. If I still had my truck and could put gas cans in back, I'd take the cans to VA on Thanksgiving and fill them up there but
don't like gas cans in enclosed spaces, there's always a smell. There is only one gas station in my little town and their prices are very high, 3.29 for premium so I just drove away.
Will go across the river to Lambertville NJ to Heath's service station, which has been there since I was a child, and where I bought my first gas. Have known the owner, and his father, all my life.
That's worth driving a couple miles for...
good visit to cardiologist yesterday, no issues and no surprises. He wants me to get more exercise, which I agree with.
Last big appt is this afternoon to oncologist. Lots of questions for him. Nice that all docs are wired into same data system
so I don't have to fill out the questionnaires with every new appointment.
struck out trying to give away clothes yesterday. Place everyone told me was first choice only took food. Then drop off place at county seat had big sign in window, not accepting any further donations. Covid is making it extra hard on the needy in our communities. I was told of one church that might be taking clothes, will call them today. Otherwise putting bags back in basement to wait until normal places open up again.
Ted, I'm envious of your local pricing and availability. Surprising how there can be such regional differences, as this area is no boondocks, and everyone has small power equipment that runs better on E0. Even my Audi dealer recommended it for my car.

Poured first cup of coffee. 32° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 59° with sunny skies. Did a walk around yard yesterday. No branches on ground. large amount of fallen leaves were blown into woods and field. Will get at that later this week when temperatures will be warmer. Will blow some of the leaves out away from buildings today. ENT Dr visit this afternoon. Hope they come up with a plan to stop the constant noise in my right ear.
Drew, hope you can get in and vote without a long line.
Buppies, melted candles can be melted again to make new ones. Glad that was only loss.
Eric, glad someone is getting some enjoyment from all the @#$!%&^* going on over here.
Riptides, I would put the angled pieces at bottom. So that siding is level with ceiling. Maybe fill angle in with sheet aluminum before putting starter strip in.
Everyone stay healthy and safe.
Good Morning All.

36 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. Wind seems to have gone. Spent most of the night listening to a hoot owl outside my window. It will be a long day.
On the siding front it was too windy and cold to work out there yesterday. I managed to get a friend over to shoot the house, and we were both looking at the front when we both said at the same time "look below the eaves". Duh. The last siding piece is customized quite nicely. Grrr.
15 years and I never noticed. So that got me a better visual on the vinyl and decking in my mind. No way I am going to deal with a gap like that. So I think I can break the job into two parts using the door as the divider. I'll rerun the starter strip, or make use of a J Channel which will allow me to cut the vinyl to the proper "angle". Since it is a covered porch I can get away with using the J Channel with a few weep holes. I will have to see how that looks, and if it passes the wife test. My back porch uses the J channel and it has held up well. In any case I need to get this done by the end of the week.
Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Good Morning! 37˚F heading to the mid 70s, clear skies no wind.
It's predicted to be 60˚ by 9:00 AM when we start the FireWise cedar trimming.
I heard Kyle's county has enacted it's burn ban again after hearing grass fires every day on the phone pager.
Found out my Fish is an Angler Fish. They actually do have a light fin that comes out of their head.

I fist heard and about them in a movie on the square "Finding Nemo". Finding Nemo Anglerfish Chase with healthbars (Denzel Crocker’s Channel’s 6th Anniversary May 13) - YouTube

Good Morning
It’s already 42 here and the wind I has let up considerably. Yesterday the windsock was straight out like it was starched.
Things went well at the doctor yesterday, but when I got home, we were on generator power.
Still haven’t gotten to building the manure bin, today I’m helping a friend install a ground water heat pump.
Agreed that Avgas isn’t seasonally blended, but I have never had a problem starting anything in the winter. I used to have a CJ5 with a plow that would sometimes sit for multiple years, but would always start right up when asked to. It helps that I have always had easy access to Avgas as well.
Zoom in on the picture and you can see the windsock sticking straight out.
