Fri. Aug. 21, 2026 – first day of my event, I’m busy

It’ll be hot and sweaty as we set up our show. Most of the hard work will happen in the morning, when it should be under 90F, but I’m sure we’ll be doing plenty after it hits 100F later in the day. Yesterday was REALLY humid. IDK the official figure, but sweat was not drying, and it was oppressively wet. Even at midnight.

Spent the day getting ready for my show. Trailer, load, display stuff, and family time… it was a long day.

Today will be even longer. I’ll start by getting ice for the coolers for the crew to stay hydrated, then head to the venue. Setup starts at 9am and we hope to have attendees start moving in around 11am. Technically the show is open at 2pm but a lot of good business will have already happened by then. I get a late start setting my own stuff up, as I’m helping others most of the morning.

Hopefully I’ll sell some stuff and make some money. That’s the goal anyway. My hobbies are supposed to be self funding, so I do one sale in March for ham stuff, and one in August for the other thing.

It’s real world networking and a look at some folks from out of state too. It was very valuable during the covidiocy to see and talk with people from other areas. I’ll be interested to hear what people think about the economy.

Intel. Stack some of that too.

    Enjoy yourself, Nick. Remember to keep your bodhrán taut and your sequins polished!
