Good Election Day, GoGo. It's a warm 53 in Louisville, going to just 61. We must be getting some southerly winds for it to have stayed so warm overnight. Sharply colder this weekend for our rifle deer opener with a chance of snow showers. Good for deer movement, but tough on us old guys who need a few days to adapt.
My fingers and hands are a little tender this morning. You guys ever work much with what I call rat wire? Miss Cindy wants five boxes made out of rat wire to use in decorating at our church. These are five-sided boxes, with no bottom. Then she attaches tiny LED lights on the inside, wraps the outside with thin, shiny fabric, and attaches a big fabric bow on the top. So, you end up with what look like large Christmas presents that are lit up from the inside. Anyway, there's no way to cut that rat wire with diagonal cutters (yes, dikes) without creating scores of sharp little wire stubs. I finished two 1-foot cubes and one 2-foot cube, so I'm over the hump. I think I have enough wire for another cube about 1 1/2 feet on a side. I thought about using a Dremel cutoff wheel to cut the wire, but I did the work in my living room last night and didn't want to be throwing sparks all over. Miss Cindy is happy, so I'm happy.
As for the election, I'm a lifelong registered Democrat who leans from moderate to conservative on nearly all issues. The last Democrat I remember voting for was Jimmy Carter. Yes, I'm a deplorable and proud to be among that group. I'll be voting today and praying that the rest of the (mostly) silent majority shows up as well, which they did in November 2016. I find it totally ironic that it's the ultra-liberals who are now calling for civil war when it was that same group claiming just a few years ago that the far right wanted open war. Sheesh!
Y'all have a good'n, let's all pray for our country and Sam Koger, and be safe out there. If you climb a tree, WEAR A SAFETY HARNESS! If you're gutting a deer, PAY ATTENTION!
