Currently 73F and not quite saturated. Close though.
Wife has moved along the closet remodel by coming home with a van load of modular closet system. It hangs from the wall and so doesn’t rely on a finished floor. It looks good, but cheap to my eyes. Better than wire shelves.
I’ve got to get the network changeover (note how it wasn’t even on my list, but suddenly kills two days) done so I can get back to the list.
Hah, tech content. Who knew?
n
71F and wet.
Woke to chirping. The CO monitor wants a new battery, and it won’t let you say “later”. Unfortunately, it’s REALLY not clear how to open the damned thing. Another few chirps, or if they’d come an hour earlier and I’d be using a HAMMER to get it open.
Meeting with ATT this am for gigabit fiber install here at the house. We’ll see when he gets here and where we end up. Historically Comcast says we use less than 300Gb of data a month, so we might have signed up for a lesser plan with a data cap… I don’t know. More later.
The problem with witchhunts, is you don’t stop hunting until you find a witch…
The current process is not in the interest of good government or the will of the people.
n
70F and saturated at 8am. I’m sure that will get better if the sun comes out.
This month is dragging by, and yet the days and even weeks seem too short. Weird.
Found 4 dead rats in the attic yesterday. 3 little ones, in various stages, and one big one well aged…
I wasn’t checking the traps since they didn’t get anything for months. Glue pads got them all. I’m going to move the attic cam to an area that shows a path. It will be easier to see in this area too. I’ve got a cam for the garage too, but well, you know… long list.
I’m letting the kids sleep in. We were playing a game and stayed up too late. I woke up after dreaming of my dad. I’d like to go back to sleep, but that won’t happen.
Time is short and the list is long.
n
added- Florence flooding continues with another confirmed death. 2 hospitals that were open yesterday are closed today. And we have a new TS Kirk in the Atlantic… (from my FEMA brief)
89F at 8am and 93%RH.
Got some rain here yesterday, but the south east part of Houston got CLOBBERED. I haven’t looked at totals yet, but I’d be surprised if they didn’t get 4-6″ in no time flat. Couldn’t see my hood driving in it.
Lots to do today. I’m hoping to get some range time in at the place near Mr Lynn. And all the normal and overdue stuff is still piled up.
We’ll see what we can get to…
n
79F and wet. I hope it’s slightly cooler today, I need to process in all my solar panels.
And that’s what I did to prep. I bought a pickup bed full of little panels. Getting them to work is a project, and I might sell some off to pay for it.
No garden (although I trimmed the citrus trees and the grapevines). No shooting. No stacking. TOTALLY SLACK this week.
So I hope you guys picked up my slack….
n
76F and drippy wet. Puddles sat all day yesterday despite the sun and highs around 100F in my driveway. It did get nice in the shade by evening with a steady breeze. We’ll see about today, NOAA shows us in the heavy rain band.
Our political situation is becoming more tenuous. The rule of law, once a mighty hawser, is now just a frayed thread. Unelected time servers have decided they know better, and refuse lawful orders from superiors, after working to diminish those same superiors. The one thing the Trump candidacy and Presidency that is undeniable, is how it is revealing the true power structure of DC.
Time is getting short.

====================================================================================
added—- Nationwide test of the Emergency Broadcast Network, and the Wireless Emergency Alert this afternoon!!!!
WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) on September 20, 2018 (primary date) or October 3, 2018 (secondary date). The WEA portion of the test commences at 2:18 PM EDT and the EAS portion follows at 2:20 p.m. EDT. The test will assess the operational readiness of the infrastructure for distribution of a national message and determine whether technological improvements are needed.
This is the fourth EAS nationwide test and the first national WEA test. The WEA test message will be sent to cell phones. Previous EAS national tests were conducted in September 2011, 2016 and 2017 in collaboration with the FCC, broadcasters, and emergency management officials in recognition of FEMA’s National Preparedness Month.
Let people know, so they don’t freak out!
74F and saturated. Humidity should be better later in the day, but not that much.
Boy I’ve got a lot to do. I’ve already given up TV, and rarely find time to read except at bedtime. I don’t know where the time goes.
Oh, right. 5 hours at school yesterday. Several hours at soccer tonight. Birthday parties this weekend. Association meetings….
And work.
It’s a great life if you don’t weaken.
n
77F and dripping wet, so yesterday was an aberration and not Fall….
Will be gone all morning. Have to help teach some science to fourth graders. Measurement.
Wish me luck!
n
71F and saturated this morning, here in Houston. Must be fall.
A quick scan of headlines shows just the same stuff as always.
I’m headed out to do a pickup today. I’m just hoping it doesn’t rain all day.
It’s good to be home, but there is even more work to be done. Entropy never sleeps.
n
Still early but it looks like this will be another beautiful late summer day in Chicagoland.
I am flying home this am, so I’ll miss it: 🙂 Just a few hours, mostly spent waiting, and we’ll be 1000 miles away. A golden age, and some people can’t wait to destroy it. Fools.
