Celebrity endorsements actually tend to make me look stronger at the other candidates. The only good one this time around IMOO was when Taylor Swift said she has made her choice but for you to do your own research. That’s the way it should be done.Good Morning All. Clear, 71° and quite windy all night. The ever-changing forecast has changed once again. They've added showers into this morning's forecast, but the closest ones are 825 miles away in SW Colorado! They left the ones in for tomorrow and Saturday through all of next week. The weather geeks really have no clue.
Today should be a repeat of yesterday, as I cut firewood and prepare the outdoor area for the potential rain and upcoming colder weather. There's still a stray tool or two that needs to be sheltered. I'm actually looking forward to a rainy day, so I can sweep the chimney prior to the heating season. It might cool off enough for a fire in the wood-burning heater by the end of next week. One of those start it in the evening and let it burn through the night only. In a normal year, I might have to have a fire 2-3 times in October and maybe 12 times in November before the real heating season starts in December. I already have a half dozen "kindling boxes" ready for starting them up.
Wife went to town yesterday for some errands and picked up pizza for lunch. Now I have three more lunches in the freezer. Makes good use of that air fryer!
It was infrastructure day out in the train shed yesterday. Since I finished the quarterly cleaning project, I got down and redid some wiring underneath the lower level. I replaced some 22 gauge wire originally installed as buss wires (DC) with 18 gauge in a couple of places. Maybe 12' overall, but in two spots. This required clearing off an under-layout shelf for access. I didn't find any surprises or stuff that I didn't already know was there. Most of it is back in place. It's all unbuilt kits and scenery supplies.
From the archives, a 2011 run-by of a scrap metal train over the first area of this layout to receive scenery.

Troy - Nice pictures of Puerto Rico. Not at all like the pictures that a lady friend of mine took around her mother's home in Arecibo. They definitely had a third-world look with trash and feral animals everywhere. She said that her mother had electricity for 4 hours a day and intermittent running water. Couldn't convince her to come back to the US with her though. She was there in 2022.
Ken - It's all about the DA getting a conviction on his/her record, even if justice isn't really done.
A general question for all regarding the upcoming (and past) elections: Have you ever voted for someone simply because a celebrity endorsed them???
Today is National Cat Day for all of us feline lovers. It is also the birthday of Bob Ross, who inspired all of my backdrop painting.
Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday.
We voted yesterday and it was even more difficult once I was in the booth.
