Day: April 13, 2023

Thur. Apr. 13, 2023 – Friday the 13th comes on a Thursday this month…

Cooler, and damp, but should be clear.   It might even warm up a bit later.    It was pretty nice until about 4 pm yesterday, when some moisture from the sky started hitting me in the face.   I think today will be even nicer.

I did get to storage yesterday and did move some stuff out of the house.   Spent some time sorting there.   When the rain started, I wrapped that up and went to get the kids.   Their rehearsal went longer than previous days, so it didn’t limit my afternoon much.

Today will be more of the same.  I’ll try to get some stuff done around the house, and then head to storage to do more sorting.   Stuff I can pull out for the “collectibles” auction will make room in the unit, and provide some cash flow.

Bigger picture I need to get serious about the garden, and really soon.  I’ve got some trees to buy and plant too.   Here I’d like to plant two more apple trees, to replace the citrus I lost in the freeze.  Needs to be two, because I can’t remember which variety I still have, and they need to be different for pollination.   If I get one from each group, I’ll have the pair set, and one or the other is bound to be the complement to the surviving one.   I’m done with trying to keep citrus alive, unless it’s in pots and can move indoors.

I’ve also got to do some landscaping and yard work, to include repairs to the freeze damaged sprinklers here.   Then I need to do sprinklers at the BOL.  And gardening.  And trees.  Oh, and having the dead trees cut down…    It’s a big list.

About this time, I’m sure my rental house will need some work or repair too.  Because that’s how it works…

No complaints though, it’s a good life.   It can take it out of you though.

Hard to stack up time, but using money to have someone else do the work effectively increases your time.   The trick is having the money, and FINDING the someone else.   When you find good someone elses, you stack them high!

So stack some good helpers.  They are literally a force multiplier.
