Had a day with all the weather at the BOL.  Sun, overcast, rain, wind, calm, and clear.  All in about 14 hours.  And it was mostly 65F through all that.<\/p>\n<p>I got up early for the second day in a row, ate a hearty breakfast, and got to work&#8230; no, not really.   I got to playing games with D2 and my wife.  Played a few rounds of Rumikub and THEN went to work.   Finished the trim on the twice danged garage entry door.  (&#8220;danged&#8221; didn&#8217;t get a spell check wavy line, who knew??)  Then in between periods of rain and clear and rain, I got a few things done.  Sorted and put away stuff that had piled up.  Cleared some debris.  Got the pole saw out and did some limb trimming.  Trees, not mine.<\/p>\n<p>I was stacking the firewood when the rain came back, again.   Then it stopped and I decided to fish.  It was a beautiful dusk and sunset, after the grey dreary day.  And I caught a bass.   It&#8217;s possible, I&#8217;ve done it.  Now to catch something I can eat&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Hey it was a great weekend from a prepper point of view.  I ate venison, and the kids liked it too, and I caught a fish.  My drainage changes around the house work, and just need a bit of refining (I didn&#8217;t go big enough with the execution of some of it.)  I improved the safety and security of the house, a little bit anyway, and stacked a little bit more firewood.  Baby steps are still steps, amiright?<\/p>\n<p>So keep stacking, and keep plugging away at whatever you need to do to improve. Every little bit helps.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool, and damp.  Partly cloudy, but not raining?  We&#8217;ll see about that.
