And it got into the low 80s F with fairly high humidity.  Not a great day for yard work.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s what I did.  I was having some spasms in my middle back, which is unusual.  It means I can&#8217;t take a fully deep breath without the &#8220;pinch&#8221;, and I can&#8217;t really hold my arms out in front of me, like to carry something&#8230;  So I piddlefarted around the house all day, grabbing small tasks when I could.  I got some stuff done, but it wasn&#8217;t a super productive day as most of those things didn&#8217;t need to be done right this minute.  Still, they are off the list now.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m supposed to swap out the new tv at my client&#8217;s house.   I&#8217;ll hit the chiropractor, then Costco for the TV, then head out there.   I&#8217;ll make it work somehow.  After that, it&#8217;s modify the control software to integrate the new TV, check that it&#8217;s all working, pack up the old tv, and hit the road.  I&#8217;ve got a pickup that has to happen on the other side of town, so I need to wrap up at my client&#8217;s before 2pm.   I&#8217;m picking up another 400W of solar panel.  I think.  Should be anyway.  There are a couple of other things, but that is the main item.<\/p>\n<p>Then it&#8217;s home to be a kid taxi service&#8230;   that&#8217;s my life.  <\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s a pretty good one.   <\/p>\n<p>Of course it could use some tweaks, and It probably won&#8217;t continue forever, but right now, it&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Preps and a preparedness lifestyle got us easily through many things that could have been bad.  Most were just mildly inconvenient instead.  I say that you should prep like your life depends on it, but really, hopefully, it&#8217;s mainly your comfort and peace of mind that depend on it.<\/p>\n<p>Stacks help with both.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool, warming later, possibility of rain&#8230; same as yesterday, but we didn&#8217;t get the rain.
