  • Went to work, drove the pick-up there and back.  
  • Drove straight home after work.
  • Immense downpour started at approximately 5:30 pm.   By the time I got home, the gutters were backed up, and one of the basement window wells was filled with water.   I spent a good hour checking and cleaning gutters, and removing ALL the water out of the window well.   I will need to engineer some sort of solution to keep that water out of the window well in the future.   Our gutter system is completely WORTHLESS in a heavy rain.   Also, there is a leak in the roof above the main bathroom, there was a very audible "drip" of water that seemed to be collecting on the bathroom vent.  
  • Had a P.F. Chang frozen meal for dinner.   
  • Turned on C-SPAN and watched the FBI's IG testify in front of Senate.  It was very sad, in that the report found some really NASTY goings on in the FBI in terms of FBI agents working to OVERTURN THE ELECTION in terms of working for HRC, but no punishments or "bias" was found!!!   The IG was really getting hit hard by the Republicans, and deservedly so, as there are some first rate lawyers and prosecutors in the Republican camp.  The Dems were too busy reading off their talking points about how evil Trump is to actually pay attention to the tremendous damage found by the FBI's Inspector General.   I don't think we've heard the last about this.    
  • While watching C-SPAN, I worked on preparing a big batch of home made hummus.   After doing a lot of prep work, I put the chickpeas in the food processor to puree them, and the food processor didn't work at all.   It's dead.  Made several attempts to make the food processor work, but all attempts failed, it's just DEAD.   The hummus making was a complete waste of time.  
  • Called Debbie, told her the food processor is dead.  It's brand new, and this was the first time it was used.  It was supposedly the best of it's kind.   
  • Cleaned up things as best as possible, watched a speech by The Donald to the Space Research meeting at the White House.  The Donald made a very good point about the current illegal immigration crisis: the Democrats REFUSE to work with the Republicans at all on a solution, instead choosing, as you can see on every news channel, to make illegal immigration an albatross to hang around The Donald's neck.  But all the American people are seeing, and rightly so, is that the Democrats care far more about illegal aliens and their plight than they do about American citizens already here, and people are really getting angry at the demagoguery.  There are MILLIONS of Americans in this country who are having a very hard time for a variety of reasons, they are not going to be very welcoming to millions of illegal immigrants who are going to compete for precious resources.    
From beginning to end, this was a day of desolation.  Lots of negatives, almost no positives.
