Humid and stifling when the breeze stops and sun like a laser beam&#8230;  or was that yesterday?  Why yes, it was.  Later in the day was actually nasty while it started ok.   I&#8217;m going with more of the same for today.  Nice orange moon though.<\/p>\n<p>Well, like most weeks, I did do two pickups yesterday.  One was some general stuff for the BOL, one was a pump for the irrigation system at the BOL.  The current pump seems to work, but it WAS underwater for a week when the lake flooded.  That can&#8217;t have been good for it.  Usually the pumps in the auctions are returns fraud, someone buys a new pump and returns their old rusty POS for a refund.  This one was in the box, with the shipping covers in place on the inlet and outlet. <\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve got two pickups, on opposite sides of town.  One is a couple of freeze dried meals.  I didn&#8217;t look closely and it turns out they are not even worth $1 each to me.  But I bid, so I&#8217;ll pick up the two lots I won.  I can combine that part of the trip and grab another pickup nearby.  Then it&#8217;s off to the north side of town and three invoices at one seller.  It&#8217;s the seller who was going to pack it in, but decided to keep trying.  He&#8217;s still not making much money in the auctions, but he&#8217;s pulling out good items and selling them elsewhere.  Reselling as a business is NOT as easy as people think it is.<\/p>\n<p>D2 has a football game to march in tonight, so I&#8217;ll try to make that as well.  Where has this week gone?  Starting a day late sure shortens the week.<\/p>\n<p>Some parts I needed came in too, so I can do more work at the shop, which will help me work on getting a bunch of stuff out of here and sold.  Baby steps.   But still steps mostly moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Always be working.  Always be stacking.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool, then warming.
