Cool to start, but warming later. And damp. Should be sunny though if the trend continues. I can’t be bothered to look, even though I know millions of dollars and thousands of man hours were spent to make a guess. I can guess for less, and be right about as often.
Spent the morning yesterday doing auction stuff. Even though I’m buying less, I’m still looking at them. Sometimes stuff like the image stabilized binos pops up. Some newer thermal or night vision gear would be great…
Spent the afternoon doing a pickup and thrifting. I need to find a new auction to sell for me, and to move a bunch of stuff. I’ve also got some craigslist stuff to list, and I’m thinking about FB Marketplace. I don’t want to set up a borg account, nor to I want to feed that beast, but it looks like that is where the buyers are. I just wonder if they are any less flaky than the CL buyers.
Today I’ve got some catching up to do on domestic bliss. One local pickup appointment and one closer to Lynn, in the early afternoon. I’ve got to do some more moving from the storage unit and the shop, but I’m waiting for my shelf parts to come in. Have to have someplace to put the stuff. I need to stay close to home for after school taxi duties, so I’ll probably cook dinner too.
The list is long. But the journey of 10000 starts with a single step.
Prepping is like that. Just get started, and then keep plugging away. It’s interesting watching Commander Zero start the BOL phase of his prepping. I’ve been reading him for years, and he’s about as squared away as anyone can be, but the BOL stuff is new to him and I’m sure he’s feeling a bunch of different things as he gets outside his routine and comfort zone. New stuff can be scary and nerve wracking, but it’s also exciting. And learning what you don’t know, and didn’t know you don’t know, is always an eye opener.
Stack. It gives you options and resilience.

Thanks to Swalwell, California is facing the possibility of a Republican Governor for the first time since Pete Wilson.
The Dems may let him go to country club prison, but the big players will skate on any exposure.
But I’ll bet you didn’t have a crew of highly skilled, hard working H1-Bs handling the security. They’re doing the work that Americans not only won’t do but can’t do!
I haven’t checked Redmond’s implementation of srand()/rand() recently, but continued use of that algorithm due to internal politics is sufficient proof that the company isn’t serious about security.
Even Apple offers arc4random() built into the standard system libraries these days. Granted, their OS above the application layer is mostly cribbed from *BSD flavors but the function is available.
Real Republican, not the guy who said “Screw your freedoms”.
Watch “The Smartest Guys In The Room” and pay attention at the end.
Tuesday. Too late for good morning (starting to feel peckish for lunch…), so hello!
Every now and then, Nick’s similes make me chortle. This was last night:
I think the previous one was:
He really should write a blog, or something…
The Zukerdroid actively funds the Dems antics using money generated from the Facecrack grift.
Make no mistake that he is actively writing checks this year.
He’s probably involved in the bill covered by today’s Tyler Durden cowardice.

Fresher females with non-thesis CS Masters degrees from mid-tier US state-universities who pay lip service to wanting to be “full stack” developers even though they have no idea what that means.
A long time friend sent an email last night stating that he’s glad his career is almost over given the latest industry trends, specifically AI.
Yeah, I know the feeling, but I subsidized the private practice of medicine at my house up until 2019, even unemployed, and I have a lot of lost time to make up before the Monkey Trick collapses.
71F and the sun hasn’t risen yet. Quite.
Lions are poked in their dens. And are they thankful? No, they are not.
Lunch bag is ready.
And as soon as the kids are out the door, I’m back in bed. Was up to 3am, and don’t have an appointment until this afternoon. Turns out, one appointment is for Thursday, so I only have the one in Sugar Land.
I better eat something though.
