Day: August 28, 2026

Still hot. Still humid. Still summer in Houston. And boy was I feeling it yesterday. Officially, IDK if we hit 100F but at my house we did. The official humidity was <40%RH too, but I was dripping. Sweated through my pants just sitting still. Pretty gross to be out in it. Still, it won't last forever and I'll be b!tching about the cold while sitting with my not so tiny fire in just a couple of months. I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday. Picked up auction items including preps. Trimmed the bushes and trees. (something ate my apple off the tree when it was golf ball sized) Rescued a possum the dog was trying to kill. Sorted some stuff at the shop. Even made W and D2 some ribs for dinner. I'm still on strike but I wasn't going to waste the ribs that had defrosted. Oh, and I fixed the fence at the rent house. EVEN scored a bunch of 12ft long 2x lumber off the curb, and some 1x12 boards too. Saw a little bit of the end of the eclipse. All in all, a pretty good day. So today, I'll see what happens. I'll either continue getting stuff done, or I'll be so sore I have to recover all day. It's about 60/40 in favor of 'too sore'. One of the things I might do is go see my client and try diagnosing some of his recent issues. I think it's just aging gear. Time for some part swapping. Money is a prep too. As is stacking... nick
