Warm and damp. Chance of rain. Maybe a lot of it. Depends on which forecast you look at. I’m going with “someone will get some rain”. Yesterday the wind out of the Gulf seems to have blown the predicted system north of us. We had overcast all day but no precip.
I finally got up on the roof and replaced the batteries in my weather station. And it didn’t make a difference in the “77F and 84%RH” displays. Time to dig out the backup. While I had the ladder out, I cleaned off the roof. The pollen pods (like little caterpillars) were clumping and filling the valleys. The sharp leaves from one of the oaks were also collecting and forming dams. It all looks a lot better now that it’s clean. Cleaned the domes on a couple of the cams. Then I noticed that I have to do my annual ‘cutting back of the tree’ too. Might be bi-annual this time around. There’s a lot of growth too close to the roof.
I did a bunch of sorting and binning for the auction, but couldn’t do a drop off. No reply from the auctioneer, and then I’d missed my window. Had to pick up the kids.
Won a couple of things for the BOL and the house in yesterday’s auctions. There is always something more I need, and an endless flow of stuff through the auctions means I eventually get a chance to bid on it. Sometimes, I win.
Today I’ve got pickups to do. Hopefully the rain holds off, but I think I can get everything in the Expedition if it’s pouring down. Before that though, I have to get the house cleaned up. My organizing and sorting means there is a ton of stuff piled up around the house. No way can I leave that for my wife to come home to. Wouldn’t be prudent.
We continue to head down the slope. The arrest of Trump while Hillarity walks free, while epstein’s client list remains a state secret, while the Bidden crime family enjoys all the incest, hookers, and blow they can pay for with chinese money, is but one more step on the road to hell. Trump doesn’t have to advocate for violence. The left exercises violence as a means of intimidation and control every day, and the ruling junta uses the threat of violence with impunity. Well, mark my words, that impunity won’t last. They THINK they can control it, harness it, USE it. “Look what you made me do!” but they’re wrong. They always underestimate their opponent, and overestimate their own capability.
When it all goes live, it will happen in an eyeblink, and the whole world will change. Get yourself as ready as you can be. Stack the things you’d have to venture out to get. Stack the things you need to be safe. Stack what you need to KEEP the things you have. Stack.
And keep your eyes open and head down.
