Alex helps build an Expedit

12 hours of timelapse total crunched into 3:45. There is a bit of me cleaning before the construction starts, and a bit of me recording my podcast after construction is done.

Actual construction from about 1:30 to 3:00 on the video.

Roscoe and Brandy help a little bit too.

This is of course a snippet of the kind of thing always available on the AbulCam.

.@drbarnard But in the end, instead of getting one thing, I got the Ultimate Bundle. I will probably never use any of it though. 05:28:44
.@drbarnard But when I thought for a minute, I figured, I use this app every day, several times a day. I will support the developer. 05:29:30
.@drbarnard So thanks for Timer. I appreciate it. 05:30:07
RT @drbarnard: @abulsme thanks for confirming. And for the purchase! 05:31:20

We are now almost four hours in, and the meeting just finished electing the first of four county wide positions. Fun! 20:53:45
Oh yeah, two out of four a little bit ago. Working on the third. Of course, that is just county level, then there is legislative district. 21:53:29
Also forgot when we hit three of four. On fourth now, although are supposed to already be out of room. 22:30:59
Changing rooms. :-/ 22:41:59
One of two LD positions filled. One candidate. No vote. Getting close to end maybe! (1 more county level outstanding, and 1 more LD level.) 23:14:03
2nd and last LD done. Just the one county level one outstanding. 23:21:31
Just got my official certificate of election as a PCO from the county election office. The fact I have an elected office makes me chuckle. 23:24:55
