Liked all those people, some more than others. People dying left and right. It's like an epidemic. I don't know why I'm still here. I never realized that Kris wrote this song. I've listened to this on many dark country roads at 1am.

Picked a few eggplants today, and will be giving them to a friend of ours. The oven is preheating for a loaf of sourdough. I think I'll have some time to finish the restoration of a Kaywoodie Canadian I picked up some weeks ago.

Getting back to Cabras, I mean Cabela's, I forgot I visited the Albuquerque store in January. I noticed that customers were asked to schedule an appointment to view guns. No walk in service. Too bad, they had a Winchester 92 with octagonal 26 inch barrel chambered in .25-35, one of my favorites. At a reasonable price, too. All I could do was look at it in the rack. I was unaware that the 25-35 had ever been offered in the 92. I hit the wrong key. '94, of course. Good to have an Editor on the Patch!

It's a gorgeous day here, today. 77 degrees, sunny, and low humidity. Tough to beat. And supposedly I'll have an electrician here at some point this afternoon.

Well, I have electricians here. They don't speak a word of English, which makes things a bit difficult. I think they've eliminated problems in the breaker panel and at any of the individual outlets. They're up in the attic, now.

142/85 slightly below average for me. I see the cardiologist next month to try to get the average down a little. Too many high 150s and mid 160s.

They're up in the attic, now. And it's fixed. The outlet in the garage ceiling that the garage door opener plugs into was broken -- as in physically broken -- but you couldn't see that except by pulling up plywood in the attic above. I'm guessing the a/c guy damaged it when they were putting the new unit up there a month ago, and it just took getting rattled enough times by the garage door opening and closing for the fracture to finally break the circuit.

They're up in the attic, now. Yeah, but in a few years, they will own Timothy Snigglepants that is too precious to take out the garbage when asked to do so by his mom. He fancies himself as the next millionaire "influencer"...and will come to the conclusion as he made a bad choice as the frail years encroach. I went down the US 60 today in Mesa Arizona, looked over and the old Mesa RV facility was filled with Empire CAT trucks by the hundreds...many to be decaled, many that were already done. And they have a huge facility to train young people to make 100K out of the gate. Those that choose the route of accumulating college debt with useless credentials are on a course to be the next slave society....Not willing myself to forgive that debt.

The wife got good news after her breast examination and follow up, just two cysts and no other issues. Thank God. My blood pressure runs about 120/80 with medication, and I passed my last stress test with flying colors surprising me and my cardiologist next visit in late Nov to check all the stints in my legs. Right now studying for my drug test in two weeks then back on the gummies the minute I get back in my truck after leaving the pain docs office. Scarlet got in her first fight at daycare after a young boy hit her she attacked him with a toy and made him cry. Don't play with a red headed one year old with my genetics in her blood stream. LMAO. Christy is flying out to Boston in a few weeks for her birthday leaving me to fend for myself. Peace and Joy to all as we head into the holiday season.

That must be a relief.
As for fighting with redheads, they also feel less pain than others. Don't go there.

Watched oldest son suit up in his gear to participate in some combat thing in Texas then pound on my treadmill for an hr, he enjoys 💩like that, if he does it today I’ll take a picture, today he and his mom are going shopping in Lafayette, after dropping off his wife’s car at the Volvo dealership for an oil change, he has to drive from Corpus to San Antino for that so he’s taking advantage of our dealership. My wife is in hog heaven haveing her firstborn home.

Picked a couple more eggplants and a handful of beans. Thinned out the radish seedlings that I planted recently. I think I'll start pulling the tomato plants, saving a few of the green tomatoes to ripen indoors.

Tomato plants removed, cut up and bagged. Already window shopping for plant heat mats and lighting to supplement my fluorescent lights.
