Summer is still here.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I started my day sweating in  a storage unit.   Got that job done, and decided to see my main auctioneer.  They are still swamped with their own items, so I&#8217;m still holding off bringing them more.<\/p>\n<p>Hit the Goodwill bins on my way home.   Didn&#8217;t get much, but did pick up a couple of things for me, and a couple for the auction.  Went to dinner with my sibling, and had a nice chat.   W and the Ds are at her parents&#8217; house for the rest of the week, while I&#8217;m headed to the BOL to work.<\/p>\n<p>So today I&#8217;ve got pickups to make, supplies to buy, a truck to load, and a dog to drop off at a friend&#8217;s house.   Then I can head out.   By the time I get all that done, I might sleep here and head up later.  I don&#8217;t want to shift another day, as it&#8217;s easy to slip the days&#8230; and I don&#8217;t know if we&#8217;ll have a sunny day later.  Or in theory, I could take the wife&#8217;s minivan&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I just hope I am not dripping sweat the whole day.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve added a couple of solar panels and an inverter or two to the stacks.  I&#8217;m bidding on an inverter\/charge controller and another panel today.  I want to start slapping some sort of solar power system together, so  I can start finding the unknown unknowns&#8230; as solar has moved up my list.  I still need a good source for batteries though.   Several of my lead acid leftovers no longer take a charge.  Something is sure to pop up soon.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll stack some more when it does.  Stacking is what I do.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunny and hot.  Again.  Dripping sweat hot.  Again.
