Still really just the beginning of hurricane season.<\/p>\n<p>I hid from the heat most of the day.   Read.   Minded the generators.

Spent a  few minutes cleaning my office.   It&#8217;s hot and dark in there so I gave that up pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>And today might be pretty similar.   I&#8217;m toying with the idea of doing some work on the vehicles.   I have new headlights for the Ranger.  Fog lights for the Expedition, and new license plates for both.  I should install some radio gear too, to go with the plates.  But it is so hot I&#8217;m afraid to do much with no cool house to go back to.  I&#8217;m really feeling the heat, almost like after my heat injury.   Don&#8217;t want to get back to that mess.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll find something to do, I don&#8217;t have the time to just lie about reading, not really, no matter how uncomfortable it is to work or how worn out I am by the labor. <\/p>\n<p>I will try to do some stack sorting at the least, and I need to get out and refill gas bottles and gasoline cans.  We could be at this a while.   <\/p>\n<p>Wife and kids are contemplating heading to the BOL, where there is power, a\/c, and internet for work.  I&#8217;ll stay here and mind the house.   Kids have been really good so far, but are getting a bit stir crazy.  D1 wants to go out with her friends, but D2 is ok with books and internet so far.   Neither wants to clean house or do chores.   <\/p>\n<p>Heck, I don&#8217;t either.   <\/p>\n<p>Stack something, you will use it eventually, and be glad you had it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still hot.
