Day: November 13, 2026

Fri. Nov. 13, 2026 – Friday the 13th is on a Friday this month!

Cool and clear again. I hope. Because yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day. Smelled fresh. Barely hit mid 80sF. Sunny and blue sky. More please.

Did my pickup after installing the new AAA battery. It started without issue a couple of times. Poisoned the rats. Well, I filled about 6 or 7 bait boxes and placed them around the patio where the rats are. The rats will poison themselves, technically. They love that poison so much they ate through the box to get to it in the garage.

Then I took D2 to see the show. She had a chance to talk with her favorite teacher, and saw a bunch of old friends. It’s a tradition for the former students to keep coming back and seeing the new kids at that school. The first kid we saw was an 8th grader when D2 was a sixth grader, and they knew each other and said hi. There were a bunch of other kids both older and younger that she knew too. I got to chat briefly with my head sound guy kid from the last two years. He’d come to see the show too.

The school really fosters a community among the students and the drama teacher exceeded that by orders of magnitude. It’s a big part of why I take the time to help out.

Meatspace baby.

Today I’ve got a couple of pickups, and I needed to move some stuff between the house and my shop. I’ve got my non-prepping hobby meeting tomorrow, and it’s our quarterly “swapmeet” meeting. I’ve got stuff to sell at the shop. I also need to move stuff for my next auction to the shop, and get some of the stuff there that is going to the BOL. I am tentatively going up Sat. afternoon and coming home Sunday. The next time will be next week for Thanksgiving, but I don’t want to wait another week for some of this stuff.

Speaking of, I need to figure out what I’m going to do about Thanksgiving dinner. Hmmm.

And I need to work on my client’s upgrades and my plan for my buddy’s fun shop cameras. Busy day. Most of them are.

Stacking is the easiest of the things to do…
