Today is a day off for Chris and I. Early voting opened earlier than planned in Florida. It was supposed to start the 24 but Chris noticed lines at libraries. So we are going today and will be voting fro President Trump. Both Chris and our families have been conservative Christian Republic since we were born. I encourage my fellow Americans that you vote from Trump as supporting the other side is the wrong choice in every way.
Things have been going well for us. My camera had stopped working for a bit but I figured out that it had just over heated. I remembered this problem with another sony camcorder I used to have. You just had to turn it off, take of the batter or charger and let it cool down. I got through a lot more tape transfers yesterday. I'm impressed with how tough and durable these little video 8's where. The housing was solid and because they had shielding on both sides, not just the front of the tape, they seem to last longer than VHS. I've never had a video 8 break but had my share of broken VHS tapes. I'll be glad when this is all over. I think I might have around six tapes left to go. There were around 20 total. I hope no more pop up unexpectedly. That just seems to keep happening when you think you've made progress and you're done.
I got a budgie mug and a budgie wrist pad the other day and I love them both. I haven't taken pics of the mug yet but I will. Here's the new bean shaped budgie wrist pad.
So far only comes in green. Wish there were other colors. I love he's sideways and you can see his cute X feet and one little wing.
I have been wanting a large windchime for ages now. This isn't my dream one. One day if I'm rich I'll have my giant Corinthian bells. But for now this is not bad. The longest tube is 21 inches. I loved that it was blue. Even the hanger is a blue metal. And it's an acceptable shade of blue. It's not that ugly dark blue you see so much. It's not turquoise but I like this anyway. Luckily someone had posted a video so I knew what it sounded like. I love low notes and deep tones. I don't like high pitched clangy chimes. So this one sounds incredible. I'm keeping it in my room because it's too pretty to let it rot out in the elements. They also make this in red, copper and silver. I'm thinking of getting the red. I was so happy to see this discounted on prime day so I had to get it. I'm so glad I did. The budgies weren't afraid either which was great. They got excited actually. Chris is going to help me find what the notes are for each tube. Then we can figure out what key it's in.
The company is called Upblend Outdoors. And they sent me a free little rock that says "Be A Little Boulder". There were four you could get and this is the one I really wanted. I'm so lucky I got it out of a 25% chance. YAY. Second choice was "You Rock!"
