Cool and damp to start, but should warm up and the local forecast calls for sunny and clear. Yesterday was nice, despite some overcast and a bit of coolness. Today should be nice too.
Did Easter with the kids. As long as they want to do kid stuff, I’m willing to play along. Our “big” meal was Saturday night, so they could head home in the afternoon Sunday. Kids have stuff to do this week.
I got the outdoor stuff mostly done, and even started on moving stuff around and sorting, but didn’t get any “real” work from the list done. That is the plan for today.
If I can get a couple of things started, even just to prep for the next visit, I’ll feel good about staying up here. There is a lot to do and we’re busy for most of the next couple months worth of weekends. I will probably have to come up mid-week at some point, if only to cut the grass. I really need to crank out a few things to feel like I’m making progress.
I need to look at some of the stacks here too, it’s been long enough now that some of it might be aging out. Fortunately, my storage conditions are actually better up here than at home. Still should probably rotate some things.
There’s always more to do.
And to stack.

I used to follow Bracken on Gab. Stopped a while ago as he slid into TDS.
In particular, Bracken seems to have settled on the position that war is the worst of all possible outcomes. There is no geopolitical condition, no act of terrorism on our soil, which justifies sending US troops into danger.
Well, as they say, the First Amendment means that Bracken can say what he likes. It doesn’t mean that I have to listen to him.
Terrorism is asymmetric warfare by unprincipled cowards who wager that they can slaughter the innocent population of more civilized peoples without fear of retaliation.
For 47 years the terrorists running Iran were correct. Now the butcher’s bill has come due.
Iran was the source of most of the IED’s that killed and maimed our troops in Iraq. The response at the time should have been to select a target in Iran and destroy it. Whether it was a small oilfield or a small military base or a small city, the diplomatic note would have been “Increments will be 10X”.
I suspect a Bang Bang is involved.
“Minister Sausage” to borrow from Tom Clancy.
(Hey, I’ll give full credit where it is due, even if that meme ruined his career and marriage.)
OTOH, if the Y chromosomes belong to a Number One Son, his tastes for a side piece could run more “Hillbilly”.

When we lived on the West Coast, Number One Boss Cousin’s side piece was Thai. At least he stayed regional and within a relatively normal BMI range even if she was a bit anorexic.
