Day: July 25, 2023

Tues. July 25, 2023 – time to do some pickups.

Hot and humid. Can’t get much more humid than raining, and it did rain a little bit yesterday. That’s despite my comment about being on the edge of the predicted area. Didn’t stick, and the temp went right back up. I’m guessing more of the same for today. 100F or more, 80% RH or more.

Spent most of the day on auction stuff, and digging through paper on my desk. I’ve been neglecting paperwork and mail because I’ve been out of town, and busy. I’m also going through stuff I’ve piled around the office and the house. I’ve got a lot of stuff.

So today I’m going to get more! Yeah, but some is for my upcoming sale, some is for the BOL, some for household use, and there are a couple of things for future projects. I’ll stack those. It would be great if it didn’t rain today as I’ll be driving around with a truckbed full of stuff. I got medical supplies (burn gel lidocaine dressings and trauma pad dressings, OTC meds), stuff for the dock, a backup for the propane tankless hot water heater, stuff to sell, food items, cleaning supplies, and some ham radio stuff (antennas). Even got some sprinkler parts. Everything comes through the auctions eventually.

I can’t do most of the pickups until later in the day though, so the morning will be more desk/office/house cleaning and bills. Oh joy. Maybe I’ll even do a load of laundry. Ah, domestic bliss. Well, it’s the reality of being the stay at home dad, and the reality of my life. No axe reviews or free laser cutters for me.

Plenty of stacks though!

No worries about rice. Or wheat. Bugs in my sugar so maybe I’ll pick up 20-50 pounds. India exports sugar too. As times get tough, people and countries will be taking care of home first… and there will be shortages. If you needed a reason to add some bulk food to your stacks, you have only to look to India, and the Ukraine. When the global system of trade breaks down, people will go hungry. Don’t be one of them.

Stack it up.
