Cooler, and very wet. Then if the sun comes out, HOT and very wet. Parts of Houston got rain yesterday, parts got a LOT of rain. We got enough at the house I didn’t do any outdoor work.

I did do some office work, and some auction stuff. Then I did my pickup which took most of the afternoon. Not a terribly productive day. I did get a couple of barrel pumps, and almost had a chance to buy a couple of hundred gallons of kerosene, but they turned out to be empty. I’d have loved to get 2 fifty five gallon drums… although I have no idea how I’d have moved them.

Today I’m using the kid’s minivan to move a few bins of auction stuff to my new auctioneer. Then I’ll be home to swap vehicles, and go do another pickup or two. I bought some very expensive speakers for resale… Hopefully, I can just flip them, and not decide I want to keep them.

The work on my Ranger should be done later today, which just means the next phase of work will begin shortly after that. I need it in between though. I’ve been watching a lot of Ranger videos. Very popular to keep them running and very straightforward. I also looked at some bluebook values and I see that while it’s possible to find some that are very cheap, ones like mine with the extended cab are apparently worth about double what I thought they were. Some are going for $8-12K depending on miles and condition. I feel a little better about spending money on it.

Always be working to improve your position. The easiest way is to stack. And to TEST and USE your stacked preps.
