Yeah, still 100s in the afternoon, and sweatier than a hoor in church&#8230; gonna be a while yet before that changes.<\/p>\n<p>I did one of my pickups yesterday, missed the other but he said he&#8217;d hold my one small item until the next pickup time.  Along with some stuff for the house and the kids, I got two five gallon gas cans.   I had sworn off buying used gas cans, because the seam cracks open at the handle eventually, but they were very cheap, and I&#8217;ve just retired 2 that had cracks or leaks.   I still need to go through my remaining stored gas and see what is ok, and what is not.  I usually refresh it all when the hurricane season starts, but I didn&#8217;t last year or this year.   Slack.  That&#8217;s me.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not the only thing.  I&#8217;ve been eating from the stacks too.   Meat&#8217;s been so high lately and the sales have been less frequent, so I&#8217;ve been buying less.  Several trips in a row I didn&#8217;t buy any meat.   It shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise then that I&#8217;ve got less in the freezer than I&#8217;d like.  Partly that&#8217;s from moving some to the BOL, but it&#8217;s also from eating it.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, I&#8217;ve been coasting here at the house  while focusing on the BOL.   That might be understandable, but it&#8217;s also not great.  Staying current is hard enough with one location.  Keeping two stocked and with some semblance of &#8220;eating what you store&#8221; takes more effort and intentional effort at that.  I need to do some &#8216;re-balancing&#8217; and refocusing, as well as catching up on some other chores.<\/p>\n<p>There is always something that needs doing.   The trick is doing it.<\/p>\n<p>So do it. Fix.  Improve.  Stack.    <\/p>\n<p>n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot, blah blah blah.
