Hot and humid, but maybe less so at the BOL than in Houston. I’m hoping anyway, as I’ve got plenty of outdoor work to do. It was overcast yesterday, then partly cloudy, then it rained buckets, and then it was clear and beautiful for sunset. “What kind of weather did you have yesterday?” — ” all of it.”<\/p>\n
It was very hot as well as humid, as one should expect in Houston as we slump toward July… which just meant everything took a little bit longer and was just that much more miserable. I spent about half the day indoors, and half out. In between putting away auction items, and loading the truck for the week, I cleared out several piles of stuff that had accumulated in parts of the house. <\/p>\n
There is still a lot more to do, and my office looks like a hoarder house (sans rotten food, and urine in jars), but I did make progress and it should thrill my wife. I’ve done a lot of domestic bliss so far this week and some deferred maintenance too. <\/p>\n
Now I get to do more here at the BOL. It’s a great life if you don’t falter, right?<\/p>\n
BTW, I went to HEB mostly for cream, but checked the meat cooler and LO! Prime sirloin on sale for $4.99\/pound with no limit, and the cap roast (picanha roast) for $5.99\/pound. I bought most of it. That was one of the reasons I was late leaving for the BOL, I had to vac seal and freeze all that meat. I don’t want to fill the chest freezer up and then have no where to put the meat when I eventually switch back to an upright fridge\/freezer, but dang, I’m not letting prime sirloin at the same price as hamburger go by.<\/p>\n
Keep you eyes open for bargains, they are still out there. And it really helps you stack.<\/p>\n
Which you should totally be doing anyway…
\n———–
\nToday will be spent poking at various lists, but I think mainly working in the shed and garage. We’re having guests for the 4th, and having the garage as extra “play” space will be nice.<\/p>\n
I’ll be doing some work in the dockhouse and possibly on the dock itself too. I’ve got fewer days up here than I first envisioned, but getting some of that stuff done at home was well worth it.<\/p>\n
Not that I’m done at home, but a good burst of effort goes a long way. Now to do the same up here…<\/p>\n
