Hot again, but starting out cooler. 85F last night, but 100% RH. The cooler temps almost felt pretty good. It rained in the morning, and again throughout the day depending on where you were in town. Today looks a lot like that on the national map.
Did some clean up and putting away then I went out to do my pick up. The only thing I was getting was the fridge I won to replace the garage fridge that died. It’s big, in good shape physically and pretty clean. I got it home and plugged it in. We’ll see if it gets cold before I go to the trouble of moving stuff to get it into place.
I also hit the Deseret Industries thrift store since I was in that part of town. Nothing too good, one book and some vinyl…
The rain hit and I headed home.
Today will be getting the fridge into place, if it’s cold, moving the chest freezer out, and generally moving stuff around. I might do a pick up or two, if I won stuff in the same area. I try to combine the trips to save gas and tolls.
If I’m out and about, I might throw a pry bar and a big hammer in the truck. There are lots of piles of broken fencing all over the neighborhood, and some have the wood I need to finish repairs on my fence. I like to make fence repairs with similarly aged material just so it looks uniform. I won’t grab it if it isn’t good stuff, it’s easy enough to buy the material, but as I said before, it’s not really my fence, so I don’t want to spend money on it. But I do want it fixed. I’m really looking for some cedar 4×4 posts. They are crazy money at the Home Depot, and I’d like some for mail box posts and other stuff too. You never know, and it’s prudent to be prepared…
Speaking of which, I do have a pile of fence stuff in the back corner of the yard, behind the garage. Pickets of several sizes, and some other smaller repair pieces. Much easier to have the stuff and replace a broken picket than to go to the store…
Anticipating future needs is the essence of prepping. And then stacking stuff to take care of those needs.
Stack on my friends…
