Only if the weather is clear. I have to load up the pickup truck, and I don’t want everything to get wet. It’s supposed to be clear. Yesterday we were supposed to get hammered with rain, and we didn’t. I’m not counting on clear, until I see it. The weather liars lie without consequence.
That said, we did get rain, just not much.
I did a bunch of stuff yesterday. Lots of driving. Client, pickups, kid taxi service, you name it. It was a tight schedule but I made it to everything. I could have spent a couple of hours at my clients, and I might have actually solved the issue instead of just replacing gear. Turns out, most of it lit up, but there is still a problem as the stuff in the attic doesn’t show up on the network… Could be the link at the attic end, or the port on the switch in the rack could be smoked. That is a troubleshooting visit for another day.
I finished the day at home topping up fluids in my trucks. For some reason the Ranger is low on radiator juice. Dunno where it goes, but some went. That is the one fluid I don’t usually stock either, so I’ll have to buy some. Washer fluid got topped up, wiper blades got changed, and the oil was checked. I don’t spend much time or effort on vehicle maintenance or cleaning, but I don’t want them overheating and blowing up either. So it tends to happen in spurts, usually prompted by something needing attention. I had a thought that D1 would help me and it would be a teaching moment, but she was busy at a friend’s house. It will happen, eventually.
I am hoping to load up the truck and head out later today. I want to sleep in a bit, and get a slow start. I may even try to hit one of my ‘next week’ pickups on the way, if possible. It’s nice to combine trips and some of the stuff I won should got straight to the lake.
Wife’s plan for the day is car shopping. She’s ready for something new, and to pass the minivan to the kid. I’ll wish her luck. Her car and what she does with it is something she handles and I stay out of. It’s better that way.
Some might call it division of labor, but I call it ‘minding my own business and staying out of trouble.’
I’ll spend my time and energy on something else, like stacking.
