Hot and humid, again. Still. Like yesterday, and we got a bit of rain, like yesterday. Nothing really wet though.
Did my pickups, went by my auctioneer. He wasn’t there. He was home recuperating from a quad bypass. Yikes. The upside for me is that they need inventory to fill the gap while he recovers, and I’ve got inventory. Lots of inventory. So next week I’ll finally be getting some bins out of the house and out of storage. Yay me.
Then I went to unload some stuff at my secondary location. Got a couple of things for the BOL. Went to Lowes and loaded up the truck. All this took way too long and I didn’t get done until dark. So I decided to spend the night and head up to the BOL today. Plenty to do, and I’d have preferred to start the day there, but I also didn’t want to drive at night, while tired. Been there, narrowly missed dying. More than once. So now I try to not be stupid. Well….
Anyhow, headed up today, and will probably stay through Monday. The appliance repair guy can meet me then. Or maybe the tree guy. In any case, someone will, and if not, I’ve got plenty to do.
Working to improve my situation. A change from stacking, but just as vital.
Stack something, or work to make it better.

@Jenny – If you didn’t see it already, “Good Omens” is back as of yesterday.
And, yes, that is David Tennant’s son … and father-in-law as Job.
We are not binging so no spoilers before ~ mid week.
The Internet revealed the big spoiler because it suits the agenda. Sigh.
Well waddayano, it’s cooler if you get up earlier! Only 79F but sunny and damp this am. Getting ready to head out. One vehicle loaded and on the way. Just me and my gut waiting to leave.
And that shouldn’t be long.

Massive Firebombing in Seattle Possibly Linked to Drug War Between Competing Homeless Camps (VIDEO)
Heinlein’s Crazy Years.
The previous Seattle Police Chief, who was in charge during the time of the “CHAZ”, lived more than an hour outside the city in Snohomish County.

Illegal medical lab found in Reedley.
“According to court documents officials with the Centers for Disease Control tested what they could and determined that at least 20 potentially infectious viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents were present including E. Coli, malaria, and even COVID.”

From a different source:
“The Registered Agent on file for this company is Barry Zhang Cpa & Associates LLC and is located at 3528 Wynn Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89103.
The company has 2 contacts on record. The contacts are Xiuqin Yao from Las Vegas NV and Zhaolin Wang from Las Vegas NV.”
I wonder how many similar facilities exist.
plugs is one the nuts who can’t let go of power. Look at Stretch and FrankenFeinstein and McConnell, Why won’t someone at their age and decrepitude just stand down? There are plenty on both sides. It is hard to believe they are cogent enough to earn their pay and serve their country.
I think it’s more sinister than that. I think his wife, plus other puppeteers, put him out there. He can’t say “no”, because he’s not really all there…
Wow. You would think this would be front page. Oh, wait, China? Another Biden Crime Family operation.
Yes, I’m cynical. You’re not paranoid if they really are watching you.

Central Valley. Not Swalwell’s distrct, but Jim Costa isn’t clean.
Gotta wonder if Costa had a Bang Bang too.
Yes, let’s address this male homosexual murderer as “her”, take it off death row, place it in a women’s prison, and give it fake boobs:
Transgender double-murderer Jessica Marie Hann who killed both her babies will receive taxpayer-funded BREAST IMPLANTS in California women’s jail’
Tell me this is NOT crazy. Kalifornia tax dollars at work.
Sure.
Nothing crazy about it, it is psychopath’s in charge deliberately laying the groundwork for demoralizing the middle class with OBVIOUSLY bad policy, and furthering the state of anarcho-tyranny, where the poor&protected and the rich&connected can get away with anything.
Crazy like a fox, if you like.
That won’t be the first plastic surgery “she” has received.
Plugs and/or a scalp reduction. Cheekbones. Maybe trach shave.
No! My money stolen by bureaucraps in Californication
The basics of all this were evident five years ago, even if not yet quite as obvious as it is now. Which was why, in 2019, my wife declared “We need to get out of California!” And why we moved from Cacafornia to Texas the following year.
Unfortunately, Texas is next to get the California treatment.
>> It is hard to believe they are cogent enough to earn their pay and serve their country.
Since when are those required? I thought breathing was it??

It took over 20 years for the Cacafornia insanity to become so bad. In 20 years, even under the best circumstances, I’ll be dead.

Anchorage mayor proposes sending homeless people to Los Angeles this winter
We had to have an emergency pumping of the house septic tank yesterday after the technician showed up for his thrice yearly visit. I called my septic pumping guy and he came over and pulled 1,500 gallons of crap out of my three tanks for $550. I think that he charged me $650 last time (2 or 3 years ago) so I am little confused.
He called me and said that we were using too much toilet paper. I told him okay… If I have to get the septic tank pumped annually, so what.
I was reminded today why I never watched MacGuyver:
Mac gets a call from an old high school girlfriend to meet him in the parking lot at a place with painful memories. He gets there first to explore the painful memories in a flashback, pulls out his cell phone and orders a hair shirt from Amazon. Before the drone can arrive with his order, the old girlfriend pulls up and parks about 50 yards away, leaving space for the drone to land, and, conveniently, keeping him out of range when the car blows up.
Mac is talking to another h.s. friend who also works at the nooculer when the sherff rolls up and announces that it looks like an accident, which is too bad because her boss had a fatal car accident last night, too, and they can’t find her roommate. Mac pulls out a section of gas tank with a white-rimmed hole that just happened to land near him and says the sherff should have his techs check it out, he thinks it’s MgO from an excindiary bullet. Sherff says maybe not an accident, then, see you at the funeral tomorrow.
Mac goes to the funeral, starts to leave in his car and the blowed-up ex pops up from the back seat. They go over to her father’s house and keep a low profile by having two conversations standing in the street by the car, bridging a minute in the house where they do nothing. Seems the ex is director of research at the nooculer and discovered enough uranium missing to build a bomb. She and her boss looked all over, but couldn’t find it. Sumbuddy tried to kill her and she was too scared to meet Mac, so she sent her roommate. Mac says they should go look again, and get her copy of the report her boss was taking to Washington when he got kilded.
Meanwhile, the autopsy reveals that the blowed up girl was the missing roommate, and word spreads.
They retrieve the report from the decontamination room but get locked in, with the timer set to dump 5000 gallons of noocular waste into the room for decontamination. Mac has bad feelings about this, and decides to short the door’s electronics and accelerate the time lock. They get out just in time, and encounter the other h.s. friend, whoom they task with calling the authoritiies while they look for the uranium. They commence to looking for the uranium after Mac gets a lesson on how a film badge works, and sho ’nuf, Mac finds the missing U hidden in a concrete canister with a plastic lid.
When they come out of the decon dressing room the old h.s. buddy has a gun and confesses that he is in on the theft and it is too late to turn back. Mac says he won’t shoot, and just walks away with the girl, who confides to Mac that she never gave the whus so much as first base, even out of pity. They are trying to make the phone call when the sherff turns up, and in a totally unexpected plot twist turns out to be the other bad guy. High school buddy gets shot, McGuveration ensues, and denouement occurs at 8 minutes before the hour right on time.
That’s a typical MacGuyver plot. Very realistic and sciency and then they have to spoil it. I mean–c’mon man!–there’s no way those two doff the decon suits and their hairstyles aren’t even mussed.

Next time tell hm you have a lot on your mind.
“NatGas, Coal, Nuclear Power Save Largest US Grid As Emergency Alert Declared For Second Day”
https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/prepare-generators-largest-us-power-grid-declares-emergency-alert-second-day
“Before corporate media blames “human-induced climate change” on power grid woes, we must note PJM’s reliability has worsened because of federal and state decarbonization policies.”
If you replace reliable power generation equipment with unreliable power generation, don’t be surprised when the unreliable equipment fails.
Every single MW of wind turbines and solar panels must be backed up with a gas turbine. Otherwise, to quote Greg, you are running naked.
You have the wrong end.
>> He called me and said that we were using too much toilet paper. I told him okay… If I have to get the septic tank pumped annually, so what.
Isn’t the point of the fancy Charmin TP that you use less per ‘go?’
I read that, and pondered it.
How, exactly do you manage that? You might call him and ask for ideas.
Perhaps cutting out vegetables from your diet? I poop less frequently and it’s fairly neat…
Swimming naked. And the analogy is Warren Buffett’s, even if it probably originated with Carol Loomis, who ghostwrote those Berkshire shareholder letters until a few years ago.
At least the Legislature didn’t compound the stupid of the property tax “reform” by giving The Gecko everything he wanted to build the backup generators.
Buffett will build the generators regardless of whether he receives a subsidy, but he can wait to see if Dan Patrick delivers the check in 2025.
“Offshore Wind has a Cost Crisis”
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/07/28/offshore-wind-has-a-cost-crisis/
You can build several nuclear power plants for these costs that run for 50+ years with 90% capacity factors of generation.
Got up here, did a lot of work outside in the shade. Thermometer got to 107F in the shade, but dropped to 104F fairly quickly. Currently 81F and falling.
Man that’s hot.
The boss ™ changed the design so instead of being done, I’ve got to go to the town and get more materials tomorrow. IF they have what I need.
Did some small chores after running out of stuff to do on the deck.
Cheeseburgers on the grill for dinner.
And then Moar work!

The thing that kills me is that he was at my house 45 minutes after I called him. He was ready for the business. Shoot, if I was him, I would shut up and ask if I can be back in 12 months.
