Another pretty nice day. Really, other than the humidity being high, it’s been nice for weeks. Mid 60s to mid 80s to mid 70s at night. And clear. Other than the weirdness of high RH in mild temps, you really couldn’t ask for better weather.
Except for the dry grass and drought conditions. Pretty sure things are getting dire for farmers and ranchers.
Monday I was productive and got things done. I did my pickups. One was a new-to-me auctioneer, where I won 5 gallons of lamp oil and some ham radio stuff. He asked if he could call me about the trailer full of ham radio stuff he couldn’t sell 2 years ago, that he’s finally trying to sell. Oh heII yes! I would absolutely love to help go through that… and cherry pick the good stuff, or buy the whole lot…
Maybe nothing will come of it, or maybe it will be a honey hole. Either is fine, because the potential is there. Meatspace! And chatting with people there.
Later, after the kid taxi service, I worked on my yard decor. I think I’m pretty much done. I’ve got a couple of things to add on Halloween, but I am pretty sure I won’t be banging together a whole new display or theme. I’ve got “fun” and “classic” going so far, and it’s good. I still need to hit Costco and get some candy though. We get about 120-150 kids coming by, mainly from the neighborhood earlier in the evening, and then surrounding area later. Participating is being part of our community, and it gives me an identity that isn’t “scary loner with guns”.
Today it’s more driving and pickups. Kid taxi in the afternoon, band concert in the evening… and I need to prep for auction, and for doing a mini-seminar for D2’s theater class. I volunteered, but didn’t expect the teacher to take me up on it until after the current production. I have to pull some gear out of storage and make sure it works and works together…
Yeah, did I mention, busy week? It’s a good life, if you don’t falter.
And I’ll maybe fit in some stacking… besides the meatspace networking and community building and goodwill expanding….
