Tommorow is Primary Day. After a crazy weekend of working for one candidate or another in one way or another, two more days until this primary season is over once again.

I do not have any fodder ready to go up to the blog right now. There are lots of drafts sitting on my laptop but nothing really done. Instead, I will upload a new article I will write this morning on raw milk. Hopefully, that won't be too strong for a Monday morning.

It's sunny and a nice cool fall morning out there. It actually got pretty cool out last night so I didn't sleep in my truck. Tonight I will probably sleep out in my truck, because I need to be up by 5 AM to get out and put out signs for Doug on Tuesday.

Make sure to see my endorsements of Comptroller Mike Conners, County Legislator Sandy Gordon, and Doug Bullock for County Legislature.

Other then that, all of last week's hayseeds have been archived in their regular place and can be seen by going back in Hayseeds Archives. P'Link

Such a Nice Day. It's an amazing fall day out there. It's cool, clear, and generally fantastic day to be outside. Not that I would know that except that I went out.

I work in the basement of a major office building, that's climate controlled base massive amounts of fossil fuels, and always is the same beige wallboard delinating the office under bright florecent lights. P'Link

Good Morning. Today was an early one, starting out at 5 AM putting up signs for Doug Bullock. Up before the dairy farmers were out milking their cows. Gosh, that rat I saw in the barn this morning was big. At any rate, it's primary day.

Dropped my lunch on Quail Street getting Doug Bullock's signs up. And I ran out of staples, only to waste 20 minutes of Doug's house trying to find additional ones, then finding that I had a box of additional staples. I guess how that goes.

Drinking lots of coffee. Noting how many Conners signs popped up overnight—they certainly were working much harder then I was up. Today will be over before I know it, and the results of elections will be telling. It always happens that way.

Right now I'm at work. Later on, a little bit more door knocking and phone banking for the various candidates. Then I have to run to Westerlo and pull a few levers for myself, then come back to the city and go between Mike and Doug's victory parties. Results will decide which one I stay at and for how long—or whether I will just go home and get some much needed rest.

Last night way too much fun when I got home. Cleaning up much of the assorted papers and trash on the floor of my bedroom I had a hell of a post-college/moving out bonfire out back. Literally, the back of my pickup was filled with trash that was reduced to a small pile of ash.

Drank lots of beer, sat next to the burn barrel wearing my black cowboy hat, and dumped trash in there for a couple of hours. Fun in a complete kind of redneck pyro way. P'Link

It's Friday. That said, it doesn't feel like that as yesterday was a half day at work because of the company picnic—which I spent up at Partridge Run, then back at home asleep in the bed of my truck catching up on sleep.

This weekend promises to be quite relaxing, a real change from the craziness of recent days. I'm not planning on going anywhere, though I do plan to work on several improvements to the truck cap for camping.

I decided I would put the cow icon up on the top of the page, much like as has been the favorite icon for several years on this page, to replace the speaker and democrat icon up top. Somehow that cow is so cute.

Enjoy your weekend. P'Link
