Cold again, and clear, but windy. It was pretty chilly yesterday whenever the sun wasn’t hitting me. And it got very unpleasant around 7pm. It’s not quite as bone chilling at midnight, but cold enough to promise cold for today.
I did a small repair to my Ranger. Swapped some parts from the parts truck to the driver. The plasticized “rubber” over the cruise control buttons fails and crumbles. I’ve replaced them with NOS once, and now with the ones that have been sitting in the donor vehicle for the last few years. They are already failing, but I soaked them with silicone spray. It seems to help, for a while.
Did some ‘domestic bliss’ (cleaning up around the house, laundry, shopping, etc.)
Got the CO2 pistol out and did some target shooting in the yard. It’ll put holes in stuff, and dent sheet metal. I remember meaning to do a lot more work with the airguns, but then we bought a BOL… was nice to do some trigger pull work.
Collards made it through the freeze and cold spell, nothing else did though. Time to start planning for gardens, here and at the BOL.
Bid on some pavers for the BOL. Didn’t win them. They would have made a good short term solution for hardscape around the house after I remove all the broken concrete. They went for more than I was willing to pay. Something else will come up.
Today is a trash run, and auction pickups. If I can, I’ll drop some stuff off at my auctioneer. That will clear some space at the house and in the storage unit. That would be a Good Thing ™.
I’ll be stacking some stuff, and organizing, and generally getting ready. All y’all should be doing the same.
