I&#8217;m hoping for more sun today.  Probably cool to cold though, since winter is coming through later.<\/p>\n<p>I took a nap after breakfast and felt better yesterday.  Did my southerly pickups.  I&#8217;ll do the northerly pickups today.   Hit the goodwill bins, but it was mostly clothes so I didn&#8217;t get much.   Some days the product mix is off and there isn&#8217;t much for me to look at.  I only had time to stop at the surplus because D1 kept moving her pickup time around.  Kid doesn&#8217;t plan.  It did give me more time for my stuff, but meant no practice driving time for her.   <\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve got a bunch of moving stuff around and putting stuff away to do, then pickups to the north of Houston.  I am headed to the BOL for the weekend so I&#8217;ll load the truck and get ready first.   Then I&#8217;ll do the pickups on the way.  No sense in coming home, then going back up that way later.   I&#8217;ll have to do my pickup in Sugar Land first.  Most of the stuff is headed to the BOL anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, we won&#8217;t lose power in Houston and freeze while I&#8217;m at the BOL  making sure we don&#8217;t lose power and freeze up there.  I will stop and get some extra gas for the gennie on the way.  I can always put it in the truck later if I don&#8217;t use it up there.<\/p>\n<p>First world is sliding to third world status.  <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s just one reason to prep.
