Thur. Sept. 24, 2026 – more kid taxi, more work

By on September 24th, 2026 in culture, decline and fall

And less sleep. Hot again. Humid again. We got some rain in the late afternoon which cooled things down briefly, but it was mid 80sF by nightfall. I was soaked with sweat working outdoors, even with the cloud cover.

After getting D2 to the dentist and then to school, and a one hour nap, I started my day.

I did my scrap run, then a trip to my secondary to use the dumpster, then a pickup (three laptop roll around standup workstation COW things – no batteries, but did include old HP laptops. Two running winXP and one Vista.) I spent the rest of the afternoon at the shop working to scrap out the COWs. Today I’ll see if the laptops boot. Maybe they’ll have decent specs as they don’t look as old as the OSs would imply?

When the rain started, it was time to head home for a meal I didn’t plan or purchase. Carry out indian. Delicious.

Today I’ll get the kid to her optometry checkup and then to school, then I’ll probably nap. I’m way behind on sleep and really feeling it with the heat and humidity. After that, it’s more time trying to get stuff out of the house, out of the shop, and sold – which entails a lot of moving stuff around, sorting, and organizing.

Or maybe I’ll just finish the gantry that I didn’t get to because of the rain shower…

I’m sure I’ll be working on something. And thinking about stacking.*

*I’ll call it ‘planning’.
