And it’s supposed to be raining today and tomorrow. It was still clear, if cold, when I had my tiny little fire. I suppose something could blow in afterwards. It sure was nice yesterday. Another picture perfect “Chamber of Commerce” day. Mild, sunny, windows down and stereo up while you drive around kind of day.

I did my pickups yesterday, then hit Costco and Goodwill on the way home. The Goodwill in Katy Mills usually has good stuff and yesterday didn’t disappoint. I got an arduino development kit, and an additional organizer case full of servos and other bits and pieces for the microcontroller experimenter. I also grabbed a nice shirt and a couple of other things. They all had red tags, meaning they’d just come out that day.

Costco did not have my replacement battery. I’m going to have to make a special trip to the only store around that stocks it. The AAA battery has been working fine.

After another pickup, I went to the shop and sorted stuff. Spent some time breaking down some scrap too. Eventually it got dark, and felt later than it really was, so I went home.

Today is my hobby meeting. I’m only bringing a couple of things to sell, instead of a couple of bins full. Most of the guys have seen it before so I’m only bringing new stuff. I hope we have a new member or two. I met and invited a guy at an estate sale last week. Any hobby club that hopes to survive needs new members, and getting them seems to be the hardest part.

After the meeting, if it’s not raining, I’ll load up the truck and head to the BOL. I’ve got a pile of stuff to go up, and I’m sure the grass needs cutting. The rest of the list is still hanging around there too.

Trying not to falter. Trying to keep up.

Stack something.
