Mon. June 29, 2026 – a new week for the end of the month

By on June 29th, 2026 in culture, decline and fall, march to war

And it’s likely to be a hot one too, like the last week. We are seeing ~100F in the afternoon, and the humidity is crazy high too. If there’s no breeze, you’re dripping in no time.

I spent the afternoon and evening working on moving my storage unit to the shop. Only got one trip in, but I did get more shelves set up and I’ll be able to hit it hard today. It is crazy hot in the shop without the fan blowing air in. I’m going to have to do something about that if I hope to do any real work in there. Can’t be dripping sweat on everything.

I was dripping sweat on everything yesterday and I’ll probably be doing it again today. I did try to keep up with the water loss, and added gatoraid mix to my water bottles. I think it helped. I was still getting leg cramps last night though.

Considering I’m 60 years old, I think I’m still in pretty good shape, and my ability to handle heat is probably back to normal. Took a long time after my heat injury though. Better to avoid getting hurt.

Today is more moving, stacking, sorting, and restacking. At some point I need to be listing, selling, and shipping, but getting the stuff out of storage is a first step.

At least I’m making progress and building momentum on this.

Until I’m not.

Stack what you need.

    Monday. Good morning!

    We had a little rain overnight, and it cooled off a bit. Still too hot for me, but no longer to the point that I can only lie in a dark room and hope it stops. I might get some productive work done today. I might even address a couple of my own projects.

    Wishing you all a good week.

    We talked a lot about programmer opportunities after dinner.  He thinks things are much worse for white males than I do.  I think they are bad, he thinks real bad and virtually unemployable.  Unless, you are a Asian Indian.

    If that White male is over 40, virtually unemployable.

    Paul, listen to the others. Unless you were a trained paramedic with a full ambulance’s loadout in your living room, there wasn’t much of anything that could have been done. And maybe not even then.

    The numbers mentioned yesterday seem about right: if you have a major heart attack, odds are you’re going to die. And defibrillators are not magic “stop death” boxes. They do any good only with some kinds of heart failures, and only some of the time with them. Massive tear? Nope, no good at all.
