I switched to shorts yesterday, because it was pretty warm and sweaty by afternoon, and I expect today to be the same.  Nice and clear too.<\/p>\n<p>Weather was nice, and I drove around with the windows open.  (in fact I just went out to close them..)<\/p>\n<p>Did my local pickup.  Tried to help a guy jumpstart his car, but it didn&#8217;t work.  I think it was a problem with the starter, as you could bang on it, and it would do a couple of groaning, slow turns, otherwise there was just clicking.  I hit my auto mechanic skill maximum pretty early in the process.   I did have the jumper cables in the truck, and a tool set to take his terminal connector off his battery, in case his battery was shorted.    He ended up calling someone to help him.  <\/p>\n<p>Then it was off to get D1 and then a brief period at home, before heading back to school to watch a performance.  It was ok.  Audio was not great, but the young man didn&#8217;t get enough rehearsal time.  At least it wasn&#8217;t painful.<\/p>\n<p>Leftovers for dinner, a check of online auctions, and then bed.  An ordinary day, albeit a bit busier than normal.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve got two pickups on opposite sides of town.   I really didn&#8217;t plan that well.  Then it&#8217;s home to load the truck and move stuff around.   We&#8217;re headed to the BOL this weekend, and trying to leave tonight.   My non-prepping hobby meeting Saturday got bumped from its room, so we had to cancel.  Next weekend is Easter, so not the best time to reschedule to.  That means I could head up tonight if I&#8217;m not too tired, and if I get the truck loaded.  We&#8217;ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been stacking stuff for the BOL for a couple of weeks, so it will be good to get it up there.  I&#8217;m probably taking the two new 460W solar panels and an inverter up too, if I can fit them on the truck with all the other stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I keep stacking.  You should too.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been slowly warming, so I&#8217;m going to guess that we start the day in the low to mid 60s, and get warmer during the day.
