Humid and hot, with a small chance of rain. So someone will be getting rain. Yesterday, when I was coming home from my pickup down south, there was a huge storm cell west of me. I outran it north and then cut across west, and only got a bit of very light drizzle. A bunch of people got a good soaking though. Nothing at my house at all.
I’ve been watering the grass and the raised beds. Little to show for it in the garden but the grass is growing.
Did my errands, have more to do today. Got some stuff for the house, for my non-prepping hobby, and for the BOL. Today will be a lot like yesterday, maybe with a bit less driving. I did score another of the 7cuft chest freezers. I’ll have to find a spot for it. It may sit empty until I catch some meat on sale, or I may give it to a buddy. $75, new in box, but probably scratch and dent under the foam.
I’m bidding on some solar panels. They look like 200w panels. Used of course, but 20 in a lot. 4 lots, but I only want one. They were installed for some sort of traffic or camera control, and come with the big aluminum roadside enclosure boxes. Last time I got one panel, and the box brought enough when I scrapped it to pay for the panel. No batteries, inverters, or charge controllers though. Wish me luck. I’d love 4000w of solar at the BOL or here.
Infrastructure. It’s critical, and is usually only noticed in its absence. Plan to provide for your own needs. And plan to reduce those needs to something that you can provide.
To smooth everything out, you should have some stuff stacked. Lots of stuff 🙂
