I&#8217;m also not believing the forecasts for 3&#8243; of snow in Houston.

The gas line was possibly the longest I&#8217;ve ever seen it, at 3pm.   No line at HEB and only 10c more.  I opted for HEB for gas.  I did go in the Costco since I was there, even with more cars in the parking lot than I&#8217;ve ever seen before.   It wasn&#8217;t too crowded, but more than I&#8217;d like.  They had a lot of lanes open for checkout, so it went quickly.   Two observations.   They didn&#8217;t have any chicken legs.  Thighs, breasts, bone in or boneless, and even wings, but no legs.  Lamb is a great value.  Might be cheaper now in real terms than 4 years ago.  That will end if the shipping gets too expensive.  Oh, and a third observation, they had a new shelf stable bread.  It&#8217;s a multi pack of small baguettes that you heat and eat.   I&#8217;ll try them this weekend and let you know how they taste.<\/p>\n<p>After shopping, getting the kid from school, getting gas, etc. I loaded up the truck and headed to my other pickups, on the way to the BOL.   I underestimated the traffic.  By a LOT.   I made two stops, but I&#8217;ll have to beg forgiveness from the third.  <\/p>\n<p>Made it up here and decided to try for an early night.  Hah.  2am might be considered early for me under some circumstances, but it wasn&#8217;t what I was hoping for.  I&#8217;ll just have to sleep late.<\/p>\n<p>I did bring some things to stack up here.   I&#8217;ll be doing electrical today though.  W just adjusted my priorities.   She&#8217;s having guests, and they will need to plug in their camper.   So that moved to the top of my list.  I think I can make it work.  I&#8217;ve been collecting parts, but it wasn&#8217;t top o the pile for me&#8230;  until it was.<\/p>\n<p>Flexibility.  That&#8217;s a prep too.<\/p>\n<p>Stacking is easier.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool and wet, maybe even cold.
