First, let me say that while there is some reward to doing much of your own work on a house, the toll it takes on your body and mind is considerable:\u00a0 I have bruises that are suing me, and my fingertips are as dried and cracked as…well, insert your own Nancy Pelosi joke here. Not only that, but my back and legs are so sore that I’ve had to coin a new word for the pain:\u00a0 reallyfuckingsupersore<\/em>sore.<\/p>\n

Later, I’ll post pics of the progress we’ve made. Window coverings just went in yesterday, so I can finally take a shower — and of course, Home Depot trips have sent us way over budget, so the last thing we’ll be getting to, down the road a bit, is the basement, where the PW pub is supposed to be.\u00a0 We sold the carpet that came with the build and replaced the majority of it with a new berber, but in the basement we’ll be going with a high-grade laminate that looks like our hardwood on the main floor — I’ll be installing it to save those $2K in labor costs — so right now I have concrete floors with most of the adhesive scraped off and not much more down there, save for my hopes and dreams and space for a pool table.<\/p>\n

My desk won’t arrive until mid-late November, so I’m writing this from the bedroom floor; the first of our new furniture should be here within a week or so.<\/p>\n

I’d like to thank all the people who donated to the site is September despite my absence.\u00a0 I apologize for not doing so sooner, but I haven’t had a computer for the most part, and when I have, I’ve had paint all over my hands, or blisters all over my fingers. When last we spoke, I’d just lost the Newsmax feed; fortunately, another couple advertisers stepped forward, so I’m not entirely insolvent, much to the dismay, I’m sure, of those who probably would never call me a “Good Man” and would really like to see me driven off the web.<\/p>\n

Anyway, for September:\u00a0 Thanks to Kimberly M, Mueller, Lost My Cookies, Cielle Designs, Jonah C, Daniel K, SDN, Edward D, Christopher M, Terry H, RI Red, serr8d, SW, Evan C, palaeomerus, Darleen, Jer \/ bh, Bill Q, Di, Patrick C, cranky-D, Geoff B, Lowell J, Cathryn S, Dale N, Ralph W, and McGehee.\u00a0 Your support is deeply appreciated, particularly at this time. If I left anyone out, please drop me a note.<\/p>\n

For October, which I just now realized begins today, thanks to Roger H, Geoff B, Bill Q, Di, cranky-D, and McGehee.<\/p>\n

I have to run out now — again — to pick up some curtain rods for blackout curtains so that Tanner doesn’t wake up at 6:20 any longer.\u00a0 Plus, my wife needs a haircut, and her stylist is in Denver, about 35 minutes south.\u00a0 So I’ll be gone once again until later today and probably won’t have the opportunity to post more until tomorrow.\u00a0 I still have people coming over to help with a few plumbing projects and an electrical project, plus we have to deal with some warranty issues, so things are not quite yet back to normal.\u00a0 But they are beginning to normalize.\u00a0 Which I guess is all I can ask for.<\/p>\n

For the time being, two thoughts:\u00a0 first, fuck Anthony Kennedy<\/a> and John Roberts<\/a> for their unconscionable misreading of the Constitution, which has allowed a rogue President to keep our borders open and subsequently invited TB and Ebola to join in the Jeb Bush immigrant love fest.\u00a0 And fuck Eric Holder and the AG’s office for forthcoming dictates on “profiling” that makes it illegal to look at, say, Liberians or those from the Congo or those from Muslim countries when it comes to sussing out terror threats or epidemics — which I posited months ago were a potential method to cull the herd just as Bill Ayers had always thought necessary, only without the ugliness of, say, death camps.<\/p>\n

And second, I read today that 50% of those polled approve of Obama’s handling of the ISIS situation.\u00a0 Which, because no one else will say it, I will:\u00a0 I hope it is that 50% from among whose numbers heads are lopped off on camera and organs melt away.\u00a0 Because the rest of us — those who’ve been warning about this Administration since back before it was okay to do so — will be sad, collateral damage.<\/p>\n

Pro tip:\u00a0 don’t tongue kiss any sweaty African immigrants at the airport.\u00a0 Even if it means being called racist.\u00a0 Trust me on this.<\/p>\n
