Dunno what the weather liars say.   Couldn&#8217;t be bothered to check.   It was cold yesterday and stayed cold all day.  50s.  Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>So I stayed in and did &#8216;in the house&#8217; stuff.  Payed taxes.  Sorted bills.  Filed.   Cleaned and put away things.  Fixed things. Got my soldering setup out and fixed 4 things that had been waiting for a while.  I like fixing stuff, and it&#8217;s a valuable skill.  I&#8217;ve got other stuff that needs solder repair and troubleshooting, but ran out of time.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ll do some more inside stuff, then leave the house and do a pickup or two.   Time to get the stuff I won earlier in the week.  It would be nice if it wasn&#8217;t raining, just to make the driving easier.  <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also taking down inside Christmas stuff.  I&#8217;d leave it for another week but someone else wants to clean the house.   Oh well, Grinch wins this round.

I held it out so I could re-stack the stuff in chronological need order&#8230;  but it means that some fake pumpkins are in the driveway still.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already Friday.  Kids are still out of school until Tuesday so they are keeping everyone up late at night.   That&#8217;s what holiday breaks are for though, staying up reading, playing games, watching movies, sleeping late.   Makes it harder to return to the school schedule though.<\/p>\n<p>In the old days, you life revolved around the daylight, animals, and the seasons.  Now our life revolves around school and the school schedule.   Wonder if we&#8217;ll end up with something else to order our days in the not too distant future&#8230; like patrol schedules, watch rotations, AND the needs of the garden and animals.<\/p>\n<p>Hope not, but I&#8217;m still stacking&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cold and clear, with overcast and a small chance of rain&#8230; says me.
