Day: July 25, 2025

Fri. July 25, 2025 – what, already?

Hot and humid. It’s been getting over 100F in the afternoon for several days now. The humidity, while high, seems like it’s maybe a bit lower lately? Dunno, the sun roasting my head had me soaked in sweat in only a few minutes.

I was up early yesterday and still spent all morning at the computer. Spent almost all afternoon doing pickups too. Not quite, I was home by 3pm and did some domestic bliss, cleaning, and sorting. Still, not the most productive day. Did meet another auction buyer that I had a nice chat with about real estate and Houston neighborhoods.

Today I’ve got to do a bunch of stuff around the house. I don’t think I’ll be doing pickups but who knows for sure. There are a couple I could do, but at least one seller will wait until next week.

I made a little progress organizing and putting stuff away. Very little.

I did pick up a couple of audio book CDs. Jack Reacher short stories, and Prince Caspian. The last time I listened to the Narnia books it was the set produced by Focus on the Family – fully produced and voice acted, not ‘abridged’ as much as ‘adapted’. This version is just a single female reader and unabridged. I like it. Language in common usage sure has degraded. And so has Jolly Olde… as both boys were waiting for the train back to school, and they both have pocketknives.

I’m not going to the BOL today, D1 asked to stay home so she can babysit, and I agreed. We’ll go up Saturday morning. W and D2 will head up tonight. That’s the plan anyway. We know about plans…

I’ve got a whole load of stuff to stack at the BOL. Make sure you have stacks somewhere besides your home, if you can swing it.
