Hot and humid, but maybe no rain today. Small blob of “T Storms and rain possible” but a lot of “clear” on the forecast map too. I’m leaning toward “clear”. It was plenty hot yesterday, getting well into the 90s.
I did manage to get a few things done. I got the fan unstuck in the new garage fridge. The freezer was super cold, but the fridge wasn’t. The fan turned out to be stuck and the passage between them was blocked with ice. Cleared all that out and it’s cooling the fridge normally again. So now I can put that in place in the garage.
It will give me a nice platform for the live animal cage trap. To get the possum that is moving from my garage to the house attic, through the soffits and the breezeway roof. I’ve definitely got one in the attic, and one in the garage, but IDK if they are one in the same. I think I blocked the path between the garage and house, but I could be wrong. Or there might be another path. We’ll see what the attic trap does in the next day or so.
And I’ve got a big armadillo in my back yard. Dog went nuts last night, and we went out to pull him off the possum, but it turned out to be an armadillo instead. Dillo was trying to burrow under my house slab. Dog was trying to eat what he could see. Dang thing moved FAST when it had the chance to run away… then it got trapped trying to dig under the woodpile by the fence. Like a toddler or an ostrich, if it’s head is safe, it doesn’t care about the rest and it just kept trying to burrow. Crazy good digger too. Not much of a climber. I think it’s only the second time I’ve seen a live one, and the first time I’ve seen one that close or that long. Not really happy to have him in the yard.
Cats, rats, dogs, squirrels, coons, and now ‘dillos. Oy.
Today if there isn’t a security incident at school, I’ll be continuing my cleanup and organizing, while knocking off a small project here or there as I can. I’ve got pickups I can do if I get the chance.
And if not, there are always things to do here.
Stack something. Do something.
