Hot and humid. Wet or not. But hot and humid is most likely. It was crazy humid yesterday. I was sweating in the shade, just standing still, and even with A/C, when I was working, I soaked through my T shirt. Nasty. Very glad it was late this year, and relatively moderate.
Did my stuff yesterday. Did the kid stuff, then did some pickups, then did my other thing. Took all day. Came home and made dinner. Tried a new (to me) technique for cooking steak in a stainless pan, with asparagus and corn on the cob for sides. Steak was the $10 prime NY Strip that’s been on sale this week. Nicely marbled. Pan frying took it past the very rare I’d normally like, but the flavor was really nice. Dang youtube. I learned something. Well, I learned it now that I tried it and actually DID it.
A lot of prepping is like that, you THINK you are learning it, and to some degree you are, but until you actually try DOING it, you can’t be sure. I burned the garlic bread, but the steaks were delicious. In this case, I slotted some new knowledge in alongside of some existing knowledge, ie. how to cook stuff in the kitchen, and then I pulled that out of my brain and actually tried it. The success was mainly due to it being an extension of existing skills and knowledge. The more base knowledge and experience you have, the easier it becomes to slot that new stuff into memory, and to execute when you actually have a chance to try it out.
Build a good base and you’ll have a better chance for success when you need it.

I’m going to try to sleep in a bit today, then clear a bunch of stuff out of the house, and hopefully out of my storage unit. It would be good to clean one out. And I’d like for my wife to see a change in the house when she gets back.
Always be working, always be stacking…
