Just about finished building walk inwardrodefor SWMBO. No photos because I can't and the inside of areal big cupboard isn't very exciting.
I've been shooting powderburners lately.I've been getting ready for hunting season.I've been visiting my sister in lower Alabama on multiple occasions as she was diagnosed early in October with Rectal cancer. I have been shooting a couple of my CO2 BB pistols. I've been adding LED lights to my Polaris Ranger and this past weekend my son ask me to put LED lights on his Ranger.

Was all they had to loan out. Not used to riding that high at all or having to pull myself up into a truck and she's not either so it takes getting used to. Barely fits in the garage. For a heavy truck it's surprisingly quick. Has a big backup camera screen so she'll be fine.If it's a recent model of F150 it's not that heavy. The sheet metal is aluminum. Is it the EcoBoost engine? Twin turbo then.

Twin turbo then.6600+lbs with a V6 sounds like it would be slow but it ain't. Speaking of sound you can barely hear the engine regardless of RPM. For $56k I'd prefer a more comfortable electric seat since the manual fabric seat is uncomfortable after 30 minutes but the engine is surprisingly impressive. Speed limited to 100mph but it doesn't take long to get there.
Errands, routine and otherwise.I do NOT want to get blow-by-blow incremental tallies of election results on any form of media tonight, so my husband (who feels the same way) suggested we watch Disc 2 of a Loonytunes DVD set. We already watched Disc 1 months ago and the second part would be a welcomed distraction from all the brouhaha.(Yes, we did vote, more than a week ago.)
Wife's in one of her manic moods 🤬🤬. Moved the fridge out and cleaned behind it then took the back off and cleaned it out also. Just waiting for her to tell me it's time to move the stove out to finish cleaning up back there. I've got to admit it did need cleaning out badly.

They should be done at least once a year. It’s amazing what can accumulate under and behind those appliances…
After updating the newer iPad's OS recently, it would not do Air Drop with the laptop, so on Monday I updated the laptop's OS also.That solved the Air Drop problem, but next morning when I fired up the iPad on the other of our two networks (it uses a network), the little gray message of scaredom appeared under the name of the network when it connected, "Not a private network" or something similar.I went a-hunting for how to fix that one. Tried the obvious things first, such as shutting off WiFi and turning back on (nope), then making sure my setting for private connection was toggled on (yup). The third attempt hit gold: leave network and sign back on with the network password. Finally!Monday problem fixed, Tuesday problem fixed. There just had to be a Wednesday problem, and there was. Now the iPad would not show any way to print, even though it used to do so. I suspect the old printer is incompatible now. Well, OK. It is not working well any more and the usual alignment and other routine procedures have not produced clean prints from any device.Time to shop for a new printer.With brutally frigid weather for early November, it was a good time to deal with device housekeeping. I then spent several hours going through all the photos and many other files on all three devices, deleting files from iCloud, syncing, etc. Got a toilet problem also. It sometimes does not fill the tank to where it should. I skimmed some online tips which say there are seven common causes. Might as well do these things while I await delivery of parts to reassemble the 880.
