Cold for springtime. It was 56F when I went to bed. Not in the 40s F like the wife predicted, but pretty chilly considering it was in the 80s during the day. I expect we’ll have more wind, water, and cold today.
The area around the BOL got some weather yesterday, but my weather station didn’t report much rain, and winds were under 10mph. There were areas of Houston that saw street flooding too. Not us though.
I spent the morning doing office stuff, then the early afternoon doing auction stuff. Picked up, and spent some time chatting with the auctioneer who I was using to sell stuff. He wasn’t begging me to bring him lots, so I think I need to pursue other sellers again. Got home, did some more small stuff, didn’t go to the BOL.
Today I’ll be working the list some more. Dang dog was up all night trying to eat a possum. I had to pull the dog off him several times and it was the biggest and oldest possum I’ve ever seen. So now I need to check the fenceline and be sure the dog can’t follow the possum out of the yard. There are a couple of places that might not be as secure as I’d like. Also the fence guys moved all my stuff away from the fence when it was replaced, but didn’t put it back. I guess that’s up to me… and I didn’t do it either. It leaves some places where animals might dig under the fence, and lots of places for a possum to hide. I’ll also have to get the big Havahart live trap set and see if Mr Possum will relocate and stay relocated.
That’s if it isn’t raining. I also need to stake the new apple tree, and get the rest of the stuff in my truck broken down for scrap and salvage. Digging my way to the UPS in the office, and pulling it to replace the battery should be challenging. Mostly because I’ll have to do 4 other things while I’m doing that. That will be “if it’s raining” work.
But first, I’ll sleep in a bit. If I’m not being productive, at least I can catch up on some sleep.
Can’t stack sleep, but it feels good to try. Stack something else…
