Still getting warmer in the afternoons, but not AS warm.  Fall is here.  Winter is on the way.  Forecast says &#8220;no rain&#8221; for another three days at least, so I ran the sprinklers in Houston too.<\/p>\n<p>Ran them for a couple of hours, actually, because I forgot they were on.  Oops.  But at least the yard is pretty wet.  I just turned on the individual zone by twisting the valve, which meant I had to twist it back to close it.   And I got distracted.  I took a few minutes and replaced another wonky head before I really started running them so most of the water ended up on grass, not concrete.  It&#8217;s still less than if I ran the sprinklers all the time, but more than nothing.  It&#8217;ll show up on the bill for sure. <\/p>\n<p>Did some things during the day but wasn&#8217;t really productive.  I&#8217;ll have to do better today.  Just knowing my afternoon was already spoken for kinda put a damper on the size of the stuff I could do.  And I&#8217;m still in a bit of a funk.  That&#8217;s feeling better though, even if my body feels worn out.  All that bending and carrying at the BOL, and maybe a touch of something the kids brought home from school, and I&#8217;m not at 100%, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>So today will have to be whatever it is.  If I feel like I&#8217;m coming down with something, I&#8217;ll take it easier.  If not, I&#8217;ll try to get at least one big task done.  That means doing 100 smaller tasks, but it&#8217;s probably doable.   Short week, so I hetter get something done.<\/p>\n<p>And some stacking should probably happen.  I picked up a pork loin for $2.25\/pound and need to process and freeze that.  That will count as stacking&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sure, and my girlfriend is Morgan Fairchild&#8230;   <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, learn from my slackitude.  Stack something.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool again, and getting cooler in the morning.  Still getting warmer in the afternoons, but not AS warm.
