Happy Palm Sunday to you all!

For those of you who could not watch the 3 am showing of

Rediscovering Alex Hamilton,  here are a few images:

Hamilton and Burr relatives using my pistols in the promo "shot".

Just like we have Dad's pictures of the TV when Mom was winning on Jeopardy in 1967,

I have not advanced technology much more.

I missed most of it, but before the camera memory ran out, I grabbed these off my TV.

Hi Everyone,
 
I was able to view the Alexander Hamilton special last night. Thank you Aleta for giving me the heads up when it was going to air the second time. I was able to record it. It aired at 3:30 AM on Friday.
I found it to be very informative and enlightening. However they didn't portray Burr well. I was hoping that Peter would BIFF the guy in front of him in the head. Was he totally off base. I though for sure Peter was going to put him in his place. But I guess they wouldn't allow it. That is why we should have our own special highlighting the career and life of Aaron Burr.
The duel was OK. It would have been better if they shown film from our re-enactment. That would have added more flavor to the scene.
Antonio was outstanding and very distinguish. I though he should have gotten up and smacked the guy behind him after Peter BIFFED him and challenged him to a duel. 
Only kidding.
It was great seeing the both of you in the show. I was surprised.

My pistols fired, but the scene is off because they start with guns aimed straight up, not at each other!

With fuel oil at almost $4.00 per gallon, and only 2/3 of our house on oil free geo,

I decided to add insulation to the existing R30 up there. it's about R36 and most ducts are covered.

For $150 worth of grey green paper fiber = 40 gallons, they lend you the blower for free.

The 100' green hose end blows it over the yellow original Fiberglas.

I also climbed onto my chimneys this week to add some more waterproofing.

Here's a panorama of the view from up there:
