Cool to start but warming to ‘hot’ as the day progresses. Clear sky forecast, but it got a bit cloudy late in the day on Friday. We might see a bit of cloudiness and local rain.
I spent most of the day not getting stuff done. The doctor visit for my annual physical ate the morning, and the disruption to my food and caffeine intake blew the early afternoon. Then it was pick up the kid from school and help my wife load up for her weekend at the BOL.
Today is the first meeting of my non-prepping hobby after our big annual event, so it should be a long one. It will be nice if we get a couple of new members from the big event, but it usually takes a couple of months before people get their schedules changed and find the time. It’s some sort of commentary on our modern life that for most people, finding 4 hours on one weekend a month for a new pursuit is difficult and takes re-arranging…
Having some time in meatspace with people who share an interest has become a vital part of my mental well-being. It’s a chance to be with people and not talk about politics or prepping, or the state of the world. Although, given the broadly conservative nature of a bunch of middle and late middle aged men, most with successful businesses or careers,I’m sure recent events will be a topic for person to person discussion.
After the meeting, I’ll be working my list. And looking at what I’ve got stacked. And making plans to refine and stack some more. The threats we face haven’t changed, but there might be momentum building at a different rate. Get your house in order.
