Cool but not freezing, chance of rain. Not the most pleasant of days but better than ice and snow. It was grey, blustery, and cold yesterday. I was out in it for only a couple of hours for my pickup, and it sucked.<\/p>\n
Did my pickup. Got there and the laundry machines were still hooked up. The valves were stuck in the open position. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying caps for the faucets so I could disconnect and take my washer. Poor form on the seller’s part, but I got it done. Easier to solve the problem and move on, than remonstrate about it. And hopefully the auctioneer will think kindly of me the next time. Picked up a nice mountain bike too. It’ll need tires and tubes but otherwise is in great condition.<\/p>\n
I’ve got a lot of tires and tubes, and various other bike parts. When I was a poor student, I rode my bike a lot. Poor people ride bikes. The world is getting poorer. So you should look at riding… it’s good exercise too.<\/p>\n
Today I’ll try to get the washer off my truck and installed at the rent house. I’ve got a couple of auction pickups too, including another solar panel. I’ll add setting up a test frame and learning about putting a system together to the list o things to do…<\/p>\n
And I’ve really got to get the plywood off my front lawn and into my attic… maybe I’ll start there today. The neighbors will surely appreciate that.<\/p>\n
So I’m stacking. Income streams (auction, rent house), alternative infrastructure (solar, water collection), transportation (more bike stuff) and knowledge (making those things work). Stack something for yourself… I’ll feel better if you do \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
