Friday - night

It's getting close to 10 pm - I don't have to work tomorrow so I'm going to stay up later.  We have the memorial wreaths to lay at the veterans gravestones tomorrow but then I have the kids day fairly well planned.  

I need to find out what kind of bike the youngest wants and the only way to do that while keeping it a surprise it to take him to Walmart for something else and then just walk by the bike aisle. He'll see the bikes and point at the one he wants quickly.

But, to make the trip worth it, we'll go see the new 5 nights at Freddies movie, go get haircuts and I need to do a little patch work on some of the water outlets at the park. Nothing major, most everything is covered up.  I never take it off, once I put that stuff on there, I saw no reason to remove it.  Just some of it has come apart - not much tho - and so I want to recover it.  In fact, while I'm at Lowe's, I'm going to buy glue and replacement fittings in case any of them burst. I'm hoping that won't happen but I want to be prepared.

Today's offload in Gurdon went  much better than several previous times.  They were told to not cool the product down so much at the manufacturing plant where the glue is made and that helps a lot.  They're going to have to be especially mindful of that come Sunday/Monday because it's going to get very cold and we don't want to spend 3 hours unloading trucks up there.

As it stands, that plant is not ordering enough glue.     There was room for 7 truckloads when I got there, they can hold around 10.  When you see these giant tanks and the fill indicator perilously close to empty, you have to wonder what they're thinking.  The plant manager said today they are running at full capacity, nothing is broken. It's a good thing, sure, but at the same time, why aren't they ordering more glue to cover it?

Not that I care, I would rather work less. 

I'm getting bored with the news. It's always how much the left despises Trump in various things that are continually changing.  This has been going on since what, 2015?  10 years of this nonsense and after they figured out attacking Trump wasn't enough, they then tried to shame his supporters. Note I don't say followers. I don't follow Trump, I don't follow any politicians.  They are not God, Jesus or the blessed Holy Spirit, they are mere mortals.  But, you read Democrats and we all worship Trump, hail his name and are part of a giant MAGA cult.  

Yawning.  Who cares at this point.  But now that they've figured out we don't really care what they call us, the R word got old a long time ago and the meaning has been so diluted it's another useless term now - now they want to "fight" and violence.  It's their endless rhetoric that drives the rioting and killings. You don't see conservatives going on war paths to fight against federal law enforcement officers, do you?  Please share any example of that, I'd love to see it.  Not that I want to see our officers being hurt, the point is is that this is a leftist thing, not a righty.

I look at the news, yes, but I don't spend a lot of time at it unless I see something that catches my eye.  I figure the mid terms I'll start watching again and I am very interested in who is going to be propped up to take Trump's place in 28.  I think it's going to be Vance, but who knows?  

Enough of that.  If it isn't one thing, it's another. Days seem to be constant lists of new things to do.  Or things that are unexpected that have to be dealt with.  It's not all bad, of course, but it seems eternal.  

Anyway, if I take the kids away for several hours tomorrow, that gives their mom a break and get stuff done - or do nothing and enjoy the peace and quiet.  

As for right now? I'm going to play a few more games, then crawl into bed and watch a movie or something.
