It was hot yesterday in Houston, and dripping wet.  Just standing around outside had my shirt soaked with sweat.  The humidity just makes it miserable.  We&#8217;ll get more too, before the summer is done.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the day doing pickups, and running errands before heading to the BOL to do some work.   I had to hit Lowes for some lumber and plywood, and grabbed some closeout plumbing supplies too.   I always check the clearance aisle and yesterday I hit paydirt.   They had a bunch of sharkbite fittings marked down to 1\/4 or 1\/3 of retail.   Since I&#8217;ll eventually need to finish my master bath remodel, I picked up a bunch of stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Also swung by the chiropractor, and the HEB for some groceries.   Nothing really good on sale at the HEB this visit.<\/p>\n<p>I also dropped the dog off at a friend&#8217;s house for the week, and loaded up the truck.   By the time I got all that done, and did the minimum housecleaning that would keep me alive when my wife gets back, it was after 10pm.   Kinda late to be heading up, but I figured at least I&#8217;d be here in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ve got a bunch of work to do.  The grass is knee high.   It&#8217;s gonna be slow going bushwhacking that.  Then I&#8217;ll start looking at the list, with heavy weight given to tasks in the shade or in the house.  I do not want to hurt myself in the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll find some time to write and AAR for the past two months.  I did learn a few things.<\/p>\n<p>Always be learning new things.   And stacking the knowledge as well as the stuff.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot and humid at the BOL today, although slightly less than Houston, if I get lucky.
