[Lots of runs, usually three a week, usually 3.2 miles each. I ran today (unusually, since it is Thursday and I ran yesterday) both yesterday and today were three miles]
Time is flying by and I haven’t been posting.
Things are generally fine. The weather has turned cool. The days are still getting shorter.
We have not yet got the newly repaired boat in the water.
We canceled our Hawaii trip when Mrs. H found that she would rather run a full 8 miler closer to home than fly across the globe and do a small chunk of a marathon. That works for me.
So we traded in our tickets to Hawaii for a short weekend trip to Colorado in the first part of November (next weekend). There will be someone staying in our house tending the critters.
We are going to be travelling on election day so we went to the courthouse today and did our in-person absentee voting. Then we had a rousing discussion on the way home. When Mrs. H and I get on opposite sides of an issue it is a rare thing. But I approve of her reasoning. I also think people are taking advantage of her natural fears for their own purposes, and I consider that evil. There’s a lot of that going on these days. I think that is all I have to say about that.
The radio station A/C saga is still unrolling, but coming toward the end. I have received the replacement unit and I need to get it installed. The replaced/broken unit is on the front porch (as it should be, this is rural Mississippi after all) and the old unit is chugging along in action.
My in-laws are having some health issues. The three person house is down to one person at home and two persons doing in-patient medical care. It is not really my story to tell except to say that they are all getting along with each other and the guy holding down the fort is doing a lot of driving back and forth between home and two care facilities in two different towns.
I’ve been invited to attend the Mississippi State vs. Arkansas football game on Saturday. Mississippi State is having a hard time this year. On the other hand, someone here recently pointed out me wearing an Iowa State hat and we had a short conversation about how well they are doing. I guess if you collect a big enough pile of mediocre teams one of them is bound to be doing ok!
I made another video on youtube, very short. I used an old cctv camera that I had picked up at a hamfest. (I wrote a blog post about it at the time.) Anyway, I kind of like how things look, and I like the autofocus. It is not as traditionally sophisticated as what the big time video bloggers use but I have it and it is different. So, having done that using clippy wires and such, I’m starting a project to get the connections on to a circuit board and get the thing mounted in some form so that it is usable in a normal way without a rat’s nest of wires and junk.
