Day: April 21, 2026

Tues. Apr. 21, 2026 – moar things! Gimme all the things!

Cool and wet again. 60F with misty drizzle when I went to bed, and no reason to expect any different. Yesterday was mixed and variable. At times, the sun poked through and I thought we might get a nice day, then the overcast and very light precip started back up. I think today and tomorrow will be similar.

Monday morning I got the kids and wife out of the house, then met up with a guy to do a deal for some pipes. I think I did well, but not necessarily awesome. I spent more per pipe at the estate sale where I met him, but I got more pipes and accessories this time. I had a good time talking to him. He’s hustling and a sharp trader who has been doing it for a while. Interesting guy. I meet a lot of interesting people by getting out of the house and talking to everyone. Recommended.

In the afternoon, I did one auction pickup, missed the other due to traffic and weather, and spent a few hours breaking down scrap and harvesting gold plated bits and pieces at the shop.

Today will likely be very similar. I’ve still got a couple of auction pickups, and all the rest of my lists still need doin’. I ordered parts to fix a couple of resale items too. If I can do that for a few items a day, and do a few easy fixes, I can move more of this stuff out of storage and into a sale. I have to start and build some momentum.

Stacking is good, but not enough. Using and learning are critical too. Do all the things.
