It was a little cooler because of the overcast, but still unpleasantly hotter than the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Some stuff got done.  Some stuff didn&#8217;t.   I did my pickups, even the far one, although I was 2 minutes late.  They&#8217;d locked the door, but I called ahead and they left my stuff outside for me.<\/p>\n<p>It was a lot of driving around and it took most of the afternoon.  It&#8217;s very clear where my time has been going.  <\/p>\n<p>I did find time to change out the fuse in my dead battery charger.  And true to form, it instantly blew.  When gear has a blown fuse, there is usually a reason.  I&#8217;ve got too much to do, so I salvaged the case and cables, but put the board in the recycle pile.  I&#8217;m thinking about mounting a mobile radio in the case.  Project for future me.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I&#8217;ve got a few more pickups, and some grocery shopping to do.  Kid2 needs stuff for band (and the Band Supporters &#8216;band&#8217; together to provide it.  I&#8217;m a band dad.)  Normal day for me.  Maybe I&#8217;ll get a chance to do something else on the list.  Probably not though.<\/p>\n<p>Time to set aside some time to really hit the list.  Like the week at the BOL, I need to dedicate time.  Kinda hard with the other stuff going on though.  We&#8217;ll see what I can figure out.<\/p>\n<p>Out there in the world, I&#8217;m assuming the tit for tat is starting.  If you haven&#8217;t been completely grey for the last 5 years, assume someone knows your politics and doesn&#8217;t like them.  Keep your eyes open and your weapons close.  <\/p>\n<p>AND stack.  Because crazy knows no bounds and things are gonna get crazy. <\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot later but cool enough at the start of the day.
