Hot and humid, but less so. I really do think we may be over the hump.
I mostly spent yesterday afternoon driving. I picked up a couple of things I probably could have easily done without. I’m backsliding.
It was too wet to cut the grass or work outside. We got little showers throughout the day. I spent the morning sleeping. Too beat to consider almost 3 hours of driving around. Not a productive use of my time.
Today I’ve got pickups, and some of the stuff is preps so there is that. I got mortar, cement, other project stuff, and various sundries. The guns and ammo went for too much, but they did have some. 556 brought 70c/rd before adding fees and taxes. One box of 100, name brand FMJ 9mm went for $53 plus about 25% for tax and fees. All the rifles went for big money, and the pistols went for more than gunbroker prices. There were a couple of accessories to be had cheaply though. I should be able to get the auctioneer to commit to my consignment arriving tomorrow. I’ll get that loaded up later in the afternoon if he will commit.
And if the rain stays away, I’ll get the grass cut. Fingers crossed.
My ag extension planting guide says it’s time for fall beans and peas, and almost time for fall root veg. I’ll get some beans and peas in, and get the beds ready for the roots. Dark green leafies are due too, but I don’t know if I’ll try them again this fall. Geez I feel like Charlie Brown and the football with this gardening business.
But hey, social unrest, civil war, crime, disease, economic collapse, famine- all possible; some almost guaranteed. Time’s a wasting. Keep stacking.
