Hot. Humid. Still. Still Summer. But we can see Fall from here. It was almost chilly at night at the BOL, as long as the air was moving. I’ll be lamenting the cold soon. Well, not too soon. Still Summer in Houston.
Took Sunday kinda slow. Made breakfast for the wife and the kids ate too. Pancakes with chocolate chips, while I had pancakes with bacon bits… Wife opened some presents. Then I eventually got to work. Ended up leaving for home around 745pm. I’ve got too much to do today to stay at the lake.
Today’s list is auction pickups, mainly. Cameras from one auction, household stuff from another. As auctioneers throw in the towel, I’m starting to worry I won’t be able to find the good deals anymore. Something as simple as furnace filters used to be in several auctions, and they were available often, but I haven’t seen many lately. I pay about $2/filter for 3M in the auctions, but they’re ~$20 in the store. Good thing I stocked up. Bad thing, I got the size wrong for the BOL, so I either need new ones, or I keep cutting the ones I have to fit. I’m thrifty, so I’ll keep cutting them if the alternative is $20 at the store. I’ve gotten used to buying most of my household stuff in the auctions for 10c on the dollar.
Estate sales will continue, and there are bargains there too.
It sure made stacking easier, when the cost was so low…
