btw, Liftmaster doors are the most frustrating doors ever. Anyway, i guess it is working again now so maybe i shouldn't complain. It's just kind of a mystery how i solved it. then again, it's also a mystery how it got messed up in the first place - was it stinkbugs? the unit was jam-packed-full of them when i opened the service cover. Anyway, who needs wifi for a garage door?!

Clear skies bode well for Team Blue today in Virginia. Hopefully the future will get brighter from here. I've got so much unfinished stuff i'm still working on around here, however it would be nice to know if this country will still be the kind of place you want to live in going forward, or maybe i need to start making other plans. I've been somewhat preoccupied recently with all sorts of farm crisises and haven't even had much time to even start working on the big clean up job with the barns - not to mention the developing cockroach problem in the main house(i suspect my sisters LECA-plants play a role here[delicate subject]). I did manage to make some good progress with some kudzu infestations at the end of October, and i've already scattered this year's pumpkin seeds in one of my garden sites - hopefully we will have a small patch next year. I'm still in the process of scattering some seeds on some brushy clearings i'm trying to convert to various forest types, as well as potting various nuts and seeds i saved from this season. hopefully I'll get this done soon, and then be able to catch up on all my various other jobs(like fixing up this blog more, and all the unfinished work in/on the barns). Anyway, wish me luck. p.s. i punted a little on this years pumpkin carving. here is my family of 8 i made for this year's trunk-or-treat. It's perhaps worth mentioning, attendance seemed a bit low this year - i'm not sure if a recent federal phoneme i won't name now had anything to do with this???
