Cooler, and hopefully clear. Rain is supposed to have passed us by in the night. It was overcast, threatening rain, and we did get a bit of light misty drizzle in the evening yesterday. By 11pm we were getting a little rain, but nothing like the straightline winds that were predicted.
The BOL got heavy wind and had power outages in the area. No idea what really happened until we hear from the neighbors, or someone shares on the local FB group.
Did some errands a preparation for the Hamfest yesterday. Most of the afternoon got eaten by a trip to the bank to deposit a check though. The check was too big to use the self deposit feature in the app. The nearest branch is 10 miles away, on a rainy day, around the time schools get out and people start going home… so normally heavy traffic as well as weather related crashes. Joy.
Since I was delayed anyway, I swung through a regular Goodwill store on my way home. Stock was low, but I did find a book and a couple of DVDs. I really went in for pants, but didn’t find anything I liked. It happens that way sometimes.
Hit my storage unit on the way home for two table tops, two CB radios, and a bunch of antennas. Today I’ll be piling up all the stuff I’m loading on the truck and trailer for the swapmeet. Gotta pick up the trailer first, then hit another location, then back home to rearrange and load. I better leave early and come home late… and NOT spend a bunch of time on the internet with my friends.
I’ve got a Dr appointment at 11, which will complicate all the other stuff. Couldn’t get it earlier and get it out of the way.
There will be some ‘playing it by ear’ today.
The Hamfest swapmeet is a great example of the secondary economy. There are people who make their living (or part of it anyway) by traveling from show to show and selling directly to the attendees. For locals, it’s a great way to get a bargain on gear, meet LMIs, and avoid CC and paper trails, if that is something you worry about.
In any case, get out and buy something, then stack it up!
