Should be cool and sunny today. It was gorgeous yesterday. AbFab weather. Hooray cold front.
I spent most of the day fixing things for ebay. I did 3 different coffee makers. They sell surprisingly well, and are fairly simple. One needed internal cleaning and ‘descaling’. One needed an O ring to stop a leak. One didn’t need anything but a good scrub. I got them listed this evening.
I also cleaned and listed a couple of other things too. Cut the grass in the back yard.
Set up a fitness tracker. I don’t care about how many steps I’ve taken, but there is supposed to be some insight available about sleep patterns. That I do have an interest in. Of course I need to wear the stupid thing in bed, which might be a deal breaker. I’ll give it a try for a while anyway.
D2 had a school open house which cut my afternoon short. Nice to see the teachers, and a couple of the kids recognized me. I miss my science volunteering. It was very gratifying to see the signs for “Bleeding Control Kit” next to the signs for the AEDs in the school. Every AED cabinet has the equivalent of an IFAK in it, district wide. They rolled that out just as covid hit. I’d been advocating for it for at least a year, maybe two and they did it.
D1 has another GS sailing camp this weekend so she’ll be leaving for that late in the afternoon. I’m hoping my wife will take her, but I might be roped into the drive. We’re doing as much normal stuff as we can. Feels a bit frantic, but the world is getting ready for something.
China is flexing on Taiwan. They’ve got Hong Kong under the boot, so they can move on to the next target on the list.
At home, polls are showing regret and a growing unhappiness with Slow Joe.
Australia is going full jackboot.
The Towelie-ban is doing exactly what you’d expect them to do.
Invaders keep pouring over our border, and dispersing into the country.
Money people are still playing games with the money.
And people are angry, emotional, and lashing out.
I think it would be typical for the actual kickoff to come out of left field and surprise everyone. Something is coming. You can feel it building.
Stack. And stack some more.
