Just give me Frank Langella as Dracula, and it's......Oh honey.....here's my neck...bite me...PLEASE 
Wow, very helpful, thanks for posting.
Glad you stopped in and let us know.Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive. Been busy as a one legged man in an azz kicking contest. Hanging light, throwing out furniture, fixing plumbing and a bunch of other stuff. By the time I think about getting on the computer I've been too tired to think straight. Hopefully things will settle down soon. We are trying to get the house ready for the delivery of our stuff and to do that we have to get rid of all the old stuff. Lotta work. I miss you all and am not even trying to keep up right now. When I came online today i was over 500 messages behind. Sorry.
I really enjoy Halloween. In the past, I would dress up and hand out candy. This year I didn't do it. My usual costume is a clown outfit similar to the clown in IT. Too much negative clown things going on this year so I didn't do it.
This year I put a chair on the front porch and sat there so I could greet the kids and give out the candy. I had my tablet so I could read a new book I got from Amazon, "Naked Alliances" and phone along with a good juice in my Herakles Plus. I do believe I have a new favorite book series to follow. It was much easier than getting up from my desk and walk to the front door. I also was present to hopefully keep any of the teenagers from causing any problems. My daughter came home and changed clothes to go see The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a girlfriend.
Not surprised, but that really stinks.
I would enjoy a day where ya dress up in fun costumes, not creepy, but not on this night. Too many horrible things happen on this night. that's the biggest reason I don't do halloween.
I'm getting a cell phone sometime this week, so can get this now. It would be better on a tablet, but I can turn the page every 3 sentences
OK, after two long nights and early early AMs chasing da best of Kodi and catchin' up on da porches, gonna have to dream crash!
Deba, as to my 'office', da past three weeks have been ever so pleasant weather wise; although too windy recently fer a comfortable cruise out to da Skyway! If dis was da depth of winter, I could live here year 'round... oh, wait...
Fer dose dat don't know, I hate cold weather as much as dry hits!!!

I got my candy delivered today - along with my giant syringes and needles. The combination was totally coincidental, but the order did look a little odd.
It's hard and slow for me to get out of my chair and across the room to the door, so I set up a little table in the entry with my big bowl of candy and planned to just holler "come in" when the doorbell rang.
I was all set up, I had 2 total kids stop by - but of course there are only about 10 in the town. I imagine the others either got driven to where there are more houses to go to and/or went to school or church parties.
Now what can I do with all that extra candy?
The best solution I ever saw for rural kids was when we were living in the country in southern Minnesota. The church down the road from us set up for tailgate trick or treating. Everyone in the area, not just church members, was invited, All the families with kids (or who just liked giving out candy) would drive to the church parking lot, and hand out treats from their trunk or tailgate. All the kids got their candy and could show off their costumes, and the adults got to see the costumes and sit around and socialize. The years the weather was too bad out they could move into the meeting room in the church basement.

Hope it went well for you. I have balance problems, so even with my carefully selected garbage can with wheels that can function as a walker, I have trouble getting it out Sunday nights. Some weeks I just can't make it out there. Usually the county housekeeper that comes on Mondays brings it back in for me. I managed to get it out Sunday night, but she was sick today, and today was a bad day for me to bring it back in. Even in a tiny, tiny town I wasn't happy about leaving it out on the curb, but life happens.i suppose i'm back to normal
or whatever "normal" means for me.
i walk a bit slower than before, but at least i can still walk. and i can actually drive. big win.
the last time i fell was taking out the garbage, which i still have to do tonight. i'll try to update tomorrow
There are several churches and schools that do that here also. They call it trunk or treat.Now what can I do with all that extra candy?

I am very disappointed in myself for jumping all over @garyoa1 for an innocent comment he made a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to exile myself from the Porch for a while. I apologize, Gary, for taking the comment way too seriously.
Mike, my drone buddy, is a mailman in the office from which I retired. He bought one of my drones, with accessories, for an excellent price, only 40% of what I paid a year ago for the drone plus a set of polarized and neutral density lenses. Good deal for both of us. The drone that Mike bought is the same drone that I used when filming "a trip to the mailbox" for which Uncle Willie created an entertaining narrative a good while back.
Another letter carrier from my former office is a fan of my videos and wants to learn about drone flying. She will visit one of these days.
Because I didn't want to sacrifice over $2K worth of drones? At about 3:20, I did a high speed pass at just 4' above the other drone. Fun, but not very bright, to count on the altitude readings being that accurate. It certainly wasn't possible to actually see from the ground that there was any difference in altitude between the two drones.Nice crisp vids, Bells, but how come you two didn't record a dog fight?
Trip to Marietta was great. The travel bug bit me recently and I'm going to Asheville this coming weekend.

Even though it's theoretically possible that maneuver could be accomplished, that was a fake video.

Or she was just dumped a day or too prior to being found. Then she wouldnt look thin or in bad shape. In my vet days we saw a lot of that.

We are having similar weather here. I love it! I hate cold weather! The only thing good about it it the soups & stews it inspires.
Aren't you glad packages aren't transparent? [emoji23]I got my candy delivered today - along with my giant syringes and needles. The combination was totally coincidental, but the order did look a little odd.

Glad you got a couple of kids anyway! My church has a big camp facility with a cafeteria/lodge, dorms, pool, basketball/game pad, lake with paddle boats, ropes coourse, & a train that goes around the whole thing. Othrr churches & groups use it, too. They set it up with games & things at Halloween to give the families a safe place to go. At Christmas they do a Story of Christmas with live scenes, carolers, lights, games, & small gifts for the kids. They really go all out for the community. All the local churches participate & are involved.
Well, if'n yer gonna take trips, ya gotta take pictures & share with those of us that don't get to take trips! Glad you have a drone group started!
We're expecting another record-breaking day in Middle Tennessee today. Going to be 86 degrees. Have broken several daily records in the last two weeks, and yesterday tied a record at 85. Problem is, we need rain badly, but I'll just take the warm weather and suck it up on the rest.
You mean you don't have a Hollywood blockbuster budget? Just (like the rest of us) a busted budget?
