Day: September 18, 2026

Fri. Sept. 18, 2026 – Friday again. Before you know it it’ll be Halloween

Still hot, although less so yesterday because the sun hid most of the day. Parts of Houston even got rain. Some of it got a lot of rain. I drove through some on the east side, but nothing at home. Maybe today?

Slept most of the morning despite my alarm going off more than once. Got up late and did auction stuff, then pickups. Well, one pickup. And I got a couple of things out of storage, including a new 8″ chef’s pan. I like the NSF rated simple non-stick pans that Costco used to carry. They end up in auctions surprisingly often, so I stock up. Or stack up… Since they should only be used for a while, and replaced when overheated or when the coating gets damaged, I consider them disposable items. I do take the pan to the scrapyard to be recycled. I like my heavy stainless and my cast iron, but some things are just easier to cook in non-stick.

Today I’ve got pickups, and I’d really like to be inspired and find a nice gift for my wife. It’s not a milestone birthday, but it’s always nice to celebrate things.

I’ve also got to load some stuff for the lake and get ready to head up. I’ve got frozen and cold food to take with me and I’ve got my normal pile of stuff that accumulates between trips. There’s always something that needs to go up.

So stack it high at home, and then duplicate that at your BOL. You’ll have twice the fun.
