Guess we&#8217;ll see who guessed better.  It was cool and clear yesterday, but windy as all get out.   Crazy windy.  I suppose it helped dry things out, but it blew stuff all over my yard and driveway.<\/p>\n<p>I did stuff close to home yesterday.  Worked in the garage doing a little clean up.  Very little compared to what needs to be done, but it was a start.  Moved some stuff around in the house too.  Spent some time on the computer doing auction stuff, and worked on some pipes.  I&#8217;m finding it to be very relaxing to refurbish them as I watch videos or work on the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Today will be more of the same, with some domestic bliss added in.  <\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s time for me to start thinking about the Hamfest, and what I&#8217;m bringing there for sale.  I re-read my posts from last year and I haven&#8217;t done any of what I thought I should, mainly selling the higher value stuff on ebay.  I guess I&#8217;ll give it one more try since it&#8217;s only a few weeks away.   I&#8217;m definitely adding some of my test gear to the sale pile.  I have stuff I haven&#8217;t even turned on in 3 years, and barely know how to use.  That&#8217;s not in itself an issue for me, I&#8217;ve got lots of stuff I only use occasionally, and only to the extent I need to get something done.  But there are things that someone else might better use, and that are so specialized that I might never learn to use them properly.  Since it&#8217;s mostly radio test gear, the Hamfest it the place for it.<\/p>\n<p>My non-prepping hobby will be having a mini swapmeet next weekend at our usual meeting too, so I should get some stuff together for that.   Suddenly, I feel really busy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s just par for the course I guess.   Note to self, don&#8217;t falter&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Stack what you need, get rid of what you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool and clear, according to the national forecast, overcast and clouds according to openweathermap.
