I&#8217;ll write a check for half.<\/p>\n<p>Did my hobby pickup in Conroe.   Saw the lake through the trees.  I like lakes and woods and Conroe has both.  Stopped at a &#8220;giant garage sale&#8221; since I was there&#8230; but it was a guy&#8217;s barn full of marked stuff that he obviously periodically tries to sell.  Cutting the prices in half would help him&#8230;  a three car garage full of stuff, and most of it was crep or to expensive and very little even caught my eye.   Some people don&#8217;t have an eye for what will sell.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went by my secondary to see about some electrical fittings for the generator.  I have stuff that will work, but I&#8217;m still looking for a better solution.  Home Depot didn&#8217;t have anything that would work for me either.   <\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t get to see my auctioneer about taking more stuff.  I thought he was in the office until 4, but he was gone by 2pm.<\/p>\n<p>Got home, watched some youtube.   Had a relaxing evening.  <\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ll do a bit more in the back yard. No one else cleaned up the trimmings from the trees or bushes, so I guess I will.  Amazing how gender roles come back when there is a spider to kill or some unpleasant yard work&#8230; and I&#8217;ve got other stuff to clean up and put away.   Sorting through it slowly.  That should be a lot easier and quicker now that just being outdoors isn&#8217;t a health risk.<\/p>\n<p>Do what you can, with what you have, and when you can.
