Day: February 3, 2026

Tues. Feb. 3, 2026 – hot diggity dog diggity oh what it does to me…

Maybe not so cold today. It did get into the 70sF yesterday, and it was 60F at 10pm, the last time I looked. Overcast and kinda dreary for much of the day though. Hmm, today, mid 70sF, overcast, threat of rain. That’s my guess.

I didn’t get a lot done yesterday, but I did get another load from the storage unit to the shop. Spent some time talking to a friend on the phone. Did some non-prepping hobby tasks. I’d been putting them off for a while so it was good to get a few done.

One thing that ate far more time than it should have was that I filled up the internal storage on my phone. I thought both my internal and SD card were being backed up to my google account online, so I weeded and deleted a bunch of stuff. Didn’t matter. Even after I dealt with “unresolved conflicts”, I hadn’t cleared any pics off my internal storage. Couldn’t move them to the SD either, because no working space… no messaging, no opening the camera to tell it to use the SD, lot’s of stuff broke when the internal storage filled up.

So I tried connecting to the pc by USB cable to move files. Nope. Tried a half dozen cables, none did anything but charge. I think the USB-C port on the phone must be buggered. Lots of time spent and I couldn’t text my wife, so I found and deleted all the pix the ebay app stored when I used the visual search function. I wanted to keep them, because it was every album and pokemon I’ve looked up, and a nice record of purchases, but with the USB not working, I was kinda stuck.

Anyway, deleting the ebay photos cleared enough space I could use the phone again. But it does have a lesson. The camera was storing to internal for some stuff, and that stuff isn’t being backed up. And I haven’t backed up the phone itself or connected by USB in a LONG time. I’ll spend some more time dealing with that later.

Today, I might do a pickup in The Woodlands. I’ve got a couple of other errands to run too, like picking up an Rx and dropping off a check. If it’s not raining, I am hoping to get another load to the shop.

It doesn’t sound like much when I lay it out, but it is keeping a couple of things moving forward, and it’s picking up some things that have been back-burnered for too long.

Maybe when I pickup the Rx, I’ll check the meat cooler and finally be able to stack some more meat. Hope springs eternal… Stack!
