Sure is. I like it when something unexpected happens even when the expected doesn't.
I spent a few hours helping set up the neighbor's bedroom sets now that the remodel is done and they got the new rugs to go over the flooring. I was able to get the bulk of it done before I had to leave. My aunt and grandma came by finally for the first time since March and they got to see everything that's been done. They raved about the new porch. I told them I'd have a flooring in and some furniture and we'll be able to hang out in there next spring.
It's windy as hell today. The wind is still blowing the right direction so it's blowing everyone else's leaves away from my house instead of right on my doorstep like last year. It also blew off about 90% of my own leaves, so I guess I won't have to blow leaves tomorrow.
Pretty late to start anything right now. I think I'm relaxing the rest of the day.

Back from my walk on a nice day after all that rain and wind yesterday.
Every so often I get a snow icon on my computer. Have to wait and see what happens.

I decided to primer that bamboo entryway table. Boy... That's a tricky paint job.
Primer is very forgiving. The high-gloss paint will not be. I may need to think about a smaller brush and doing both coats in stages.

Yeah... I actually have some on hand. I didn't want to risk that it's not going to match all of my trim and the mirror that I painted that will be above it.
I actually hadn't finished primering it and didn't know if I would when I wrote the message, but I went back and after another hour it was finished. I'll probably be putting at least another 8 hours into that thing.
But it looks great so far. Got it cleaned up real good and now it's all one color.
I think there are some spots that I'm going to caulk before I paint though. Overall, whoever made it did a good job given the materials, but now that it's more or less a solid white, there are some things that aren't put together as well as I'd like them to be and a little caulk should make those black lines and shadows disappear.
I will show pictures of this when it's done. I still haven't forgotten about getting some other pictures together of some of the other projects I worked on this summer.

Yeah. Remember when I posted that article where they were getting rid of it? I guess that was BS.
The US Senate voted unanimously to end it, then the House never bothered to take it up.
I guess it will be dark before 5PM tomorrow.

Yeah, I do vaguely.
My province has voted to get rid of it. The problem now is that we are waiting on Washington state, Oregon and California along with DC to get their acts together so we can do it.
Nobody wants it anymore it is outdated.
I always need a reminder about it or I will forget. Stupid pain in the backside.

Yeah. I posted that it was the first time that the US government did anything that we can all agree on, but it looks like they screwed that up like they always screw everything up.
Your province should just go ahead and do it. This is just one of a million examples of how US has too much indirect control over the ebb and flow of the world. It's like when I argue with people here about how WE caused the world to be stuck in such a high inflationary recession right now with the policies that WE enacted. WE did that. But the other countries themselves are also to blame because where the US lead they all followed.
I don't mind forgetting about it. There have been times I've gone weeks without even realizing the clocks should have been changed.
What I hate is the darkness before 5PM. The days are already short enough as it is.
