I&#8217;ve got more stuff to move out of the house as part of the wife&#8217;s push to move stuff around.  And I&#8217;ve got to do some ebay listing.  Time to generate some cash, or at least start the process.  I&#8217;ve got some outstanding invoices and other monies due me that I need to get on top of too. <\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;d like to take a load to auction.  The scrap yard needs a visit too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got prepping to do, mainly generator stuff, and I need to make some room to do it, and make some time.  All while whittling away at the list.<\/p>\n<p>Always be working.  Always be stacking.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool-ish, warming to hot.  Because Houston.
