Where on Earth does time go?! I guess it changes a lot with going to 40 hour or less weeks that I've never had before, this must be how normal peeps live. It seems like no more has the day started then it's already over... I can say it's kinda nice to have some time to myself and do more of what I want to do for a change, having a life is pretty cool even though it's prob still a boring one compared to a lot of peeps.
I've been doing a little cleaning around the shop, spent most of last Friday at the dentist getting the teeth relined from scratch and doing some hanging out and shopping in Lexington while it was such a nice day. I spent most of the time on the phone Sat catching up with customers and have a few coming in from Tennessee and North Carolina soon. Today and tomorrow is supposed to be in the upper 70's so I need to get rid of all the garbage, get out and get a haircut, see the Chiropractor, stop by Lowe's to trade in some Craftsman tools, and grocery shop along with a few other things. Tomorrow is mowing and blowing the lot, getting rid of the first round of leaves, go and pay property tax on the property and all the vehicles, and get caught up on some paper work. Things may switch up a bit but that's my list for the next 2 days before another cold front comes through so I can just hibernate here for a few days until it passes lol.

Round 2 of mowing + leaf duty is done, Acorn, Hackberry, and Maple trees are without leaves now, 1 more round to go after the last trees are bare.
The pic below is nothing compared to what's coming I think... Just got back from filling up the Dually (34 gal tank, held 31) and 3 empty 5 gallon cans. I've been watching the market and it hit $92 per barrel today so I got in before the increase, and what I think will be a big increase after election day... It's gonna get real ugly and I don't know how a lot of peeps are gonna make it. The current gov has been using the reserves like crazy since March of this year (for election purposes I believe) but they are so low now I think they will let things run it's course and stop that after the elections are over next Tuesday... Reserves were full when Biden took over now we are at a 40 year low, in dangerous territory already.
Here are some interesting reads about where we are and what's about to happen very very soon with supply, costs, and shortages. Diesel problem is the worst since most everything is shipped that way. You think inflation, fuel, groceries, and everything else is high now, like the old song says you ain't seen nothing yet.
Oil reserves
Diesel Shortage

We have a massive Pa. gas tax on top of that. If we can get back to energy production Pa. economy will be booming again.

Methinks we'll need a new Pres or veto proof congress for that. However, the latter may happen tomorrow.
A lot of peeps in the New England states including friends and family I have in NJ have already been notified of home heating oil (same as road Diesel with red dye added) will be very high and there will be shortages... All thanks to our current gov situation that started less than 2 years ago of course.

When McCarthy is speaker we can work on impeachment for J and K. The red tsunami day is finally here. I would like to see a min of 60 seats flip in the house and all 5 in the senate.

Well not what was expected but still good. Almost all of Florida went red for the House, including the biggest shocker of all Miami Dade county. A lot of usually blue spots on the map are turning red as well, like in NY, Wis, AZ, and others you can see on the map in the pic below. The unusual thing is is why it takes 3 days to count votes in some places that are leaning red like a lot of other places. In the days of electronics that I know all too well and quantum computing I can say for absolute sure that something is fishy...
As for me for the 1st time in a very long time I'm taking a long weekend like everyone else and relaxing. I took yesterday off as well and enjoyed what may be the last 75 and sunny day out shopping and cruising around. I really like not working so much and enjoying life a little lol.

Covid has allowed a new level of deception the "mail in" vote.
