Cool and damp. Maybe some rain. Nice break from the premature summer I thought we were getting. It was cool and wet at the BOL, then beautiful in Houston after some rain in the AM. Par for the course? Probably. Except the “beautiful” part. That’s rare enough to be noted and enjoyed.
Had a pretty good extended weekend at the BOL. Finished up a bunch of small things, and am almost done with a big one. Done enough I could live with it if needed… All the old plumbing has been replaced that I can replace, in the house anyway. I have two hose bibs to connect, and I haven’t because I made it complicated when I decided they should be on their own “circuit” with a valve, so they could be shut off and drained in the winter. And I wanted only one valve, somewhere easy to get to. It’s a good idea, just getting in the way of the ‘done.’
Time to do a few more things here. I still have the ‘gas engine day’ and the ‘plant something in the garden day’ and the fix stuff around the house day’ and the ‘clean up the mess from popped cans and sort your food day’ and ‘keep cleaning up and getting rid of stuff day’… well, y’all know that story by now.
Part of being a good steward and prepping is maintaining and fixing your stuff. I’ve fallen a bit behind on that…
So I’ll be stacking up some work for a while. I’ll still be adding stuff, but I need to do some hard work too.
Stack whatever you can.
