Gas

The plumber came over this morning to run the gas line to the stove. I have the ability to cook! What's next is adding an electrical outlet to power the stove -- we used an extension cord to check the range -- and then buy the hood and get that installed.

I understand that the plumber is a professional and all that, but I'm still kind of annoyed at how much it cost! I think the electrical bit and the duct work are within my abilities ... I'm sure photos are to follow.

I will also run some electrical out to the garage while I'm at it. More lights!

I had a good time last night painting some trim and watching the election coverage on NBC. The local races were really tight, too.

My boss and I went to vote around 11 a.m. on Tuesday. No line. We were numbers 38 and 39 at the polling station. It was the old-school scantron style. In PA I remember it was the more traditional booth with levers. I would have preferred that. They had a bunch of judges who were up for reelection or whatever ... I opted out of those votes. No need to mess anything up that I don't know anything about.
