Cool, then warm. Maybe even hot. We did get into the low 90sF yesterday afternoon. It’s nice though. Very pleasant after the heat and humidity. I’m hoping for more days like yesterday.
Didn’t get much actually done yesterday. I did make one pickup but it was personal stuff. I might sell something, but most of it was for me. I missed my second and optional pickups. Sometimes I fall down a rabbit hole online and time flies by. Yesterday it was cloning or migrating a wordpress site, this one specifically, to a backup URL on a different host. I also realized that I’d let my personal “resume'” site lapse, and our “family” site. I’m sitting on variations of names for my business site too, and I’ll probably never really need that site again, other than for email. It’s expensive to park names if you pay for all the privacy options.
I need to consider if I want to renew all those variations, and what I want to do with any of the family or speculative names I bought. I let go of several that were reserved for business ideas that I decided I’d never pursue last time they came up for renewal. And it turns out I’ve been paying for a hosting plan I’ve never used. I can use that for backup, the resume’, or for something new. Or let it lapse too.
It’s easy to let stuff just automatically renew. That’s one of the reasons I hate that everything is moving to subscription models. They KNOW most people will end up paying for stuff they don’t use, just out of inertia.
Today I will be meeting with the HVAC guys at the rent house first thing in the morning, and again at the end of the day. In between I have to pick up three metro shelf racks for the shop. I might be able to fit in another pickup after that too. In any case, I’ll probably be away from my desk all day, so y’all will have to amuse yourselves.
It’s all working on improving my situation. And stacking. Right?

Wednesday. Good morning!
Oh frabjous day. No work, and no motorway trips.
I think I am going to mess around in the garage, tinker with guns, and go hunting.
Perhaps a nap first? Or even a breakfast beer? Decisions, decisions…
Ah, breakfast beer… university days…
Up and moving. Need to meet the guys at the rent house this morning. Conveniently, the kid also has some early morning thing at school, and W has a breakfast meeting with clients. We’ll all be out of the house at the crack of dawn.
Currently 69F and I’ve started the coffee.

Teally tired of Apple enshittification.
From their daily pushing of left-wing b.s. “news” to the total crapola that is now Apple maps with ads, the whole package is becoming unusable.
And “dark mode” may be the natural state of programmers who spend their live with recto-cranial inversion, but just as having everything black for consumer goods is covering up dirt and avoiding paying for non-fading pigments and UV protection, virtual carbon black is even cheaper.
