Hot and humid, some chance of rain in Houston. I’ll be in the Northwestern Houston area, so I’m hoping for microclimate effects. Overcast would be nice as I’m working outside.
Wrapped up at the BOL yesterday evening and came home.
Got a lot done, including cutting up the tree that fell. It was a big old oak, and about 16ft is still laying on the ground. Tree guy can deal with that, my saw isn’t really big enough. One of my neighbors volunteered to drag it to his burn pile with a tractor if I cut it up, but then he found out it was 16ft long…
I moved some seasoned firewood from the top of the hill to the bottom, and restacked it near our fire ring. I stacked the newly cut oak where the split wood was stored. It’s a little bit easier to steal the split and seasoned wood where it’s stacked now, but I’m not going to sweat that until/unless it starts disappearing. I cut the new logs shorter so they’d fit better in a wood stove. Eventually I’ll get one installed somewhere.
I also planted two more berry bushes to replace all the ones that didn’t thrive. Of six, only one was still alive. Some leftover seed potatoes went into the ground too. Might as well.
Wife did more flooring in the closets, and general bits and pieces. We also spent several hours playing board games. Kid watched movies, Clue, Blues Brothers, Jumanji (new one)- all movies she’s seen and loves.
Today I’ve got to head out to my client’s. He’s decided that now that he has enough bandwidth for streaming he’s getting rid of Directv. Since I put the cell booster antenna on the same mast as the Directv dish, and since that came down when the roofers were working this weekend, I’ll need to put up an new mount for the antenna. I want to do that before it gets hot…
And then I need to fix my cabling mistake. Oy. What a maroon. We do it right, ‘cuz we do it twice!
I’ve got to get work knocked out early, so I can get home in time to do my ‘volunteer’ position at the swim meet tonight. Don’t know what a “starter” does, but I’m guessing that it was still open for ‘volunteering’ because it sucks relative to the other jobs. I’m really hoping it’s not what I think it is.
It’s a great life if you don’t falter.
Stack it up!
