Cool and windy, clear with sun. Like yesterday.
Although it wasn’t dry. I had water on the driveway that never dried. I’m not sure what the humidity level was, but it was high.
I spent the afternoon cleaning up stuff and scrapping out stuff in the driveway. I’ve got about half a pickup truck load of mostly aluminum and wire, so I need to run that to the scrap yard today. I’ve also got to return the RugDoctor cleaner that my wife put to good use yesterday.
We only have carpet in the room we call the toy room/library/kid’s room, but was originally the formal living room. We’ve got no need for formals, but we left the carpet in that room as a place for the babies to play. White carpet. More than 13 year old white carpet. With two kids and a dog.
I cleaned it a couple of years ago but it was LONG overdue. Looks much better now, but it’s still 13 year old white carpet. We had planned to eventually put the same glue-down engineered hardwood in there as the rest of the house. We even have the flooring already. But. Moving the bookcases out would be a BIG job, and there’s no reason to create more projects at this point.
I didn’t do any garden work, possibly today I’ll get the beds ready and move stuff around. I’m home in the afternoon to pick up child two anyway. I’ve got plenty to do around the house and I was making progress yesterday that I’d like to build on today.
Part of the work in the driveway is getting the shelves I put up moved into the garage (or some others). I’d like to get the stored food out of the driveway under tarps and into the garage. It will be a lot cooler in the garage this summer, with the A/C unit running, than under a tarp. I made progress by scrapping out stuff that was on one shelf, and moving some of the canned soup to the other shelves and the can rack on the patio. I’ve still got to reorg the patio shelves to add the two new can racks. It was all a bit hurried when I shifted from stacking food to getting ready to USE the stored food. It needs to be tweaked a bit.
I really need to do a bunch of ebay listings too. I’ve got stuff that is best sold to a worldwide market, and it isn’t going to list itself.
As long as people are still buying, I need to be selling.
The political and economic insanity continues. Looks like the dems will try the former President of the United States in absentia for stuff he clearly didn’t do. If you think otherwise, go to the primary source and watch the video in question. I’ve linked to it before.
The stock market looks more rigged and more casino-like every day.
The left is screeching for blood from the right. The deplatforming continues, and shows no sign of slowing. People who have been plainspoken in expressing their views are taking steps and spending money to preserve their ability to use their public voice. There’s no way to scrub your online persona, so you might as well own it, and continue speaking your mind.
You may want to take some steps to cushion any blowback you get if you come to the wrong sort of attention. Other people are.
And I’ll say plainly, as long as we are ONE NATION, we have ONE National Anthem, and anyone promoting anything else is an agent of subversion. You want apartheid, you’ll get it. I don’t think you’ll like it much.
It will get worse. Keep stacking.
