Until about 5pm when a front moved nearby and the dark clouds brought shade, and a 10 degree drop in temp.  No rain for us though.  And probably none today.<\/p>\n<p>I messed around all morning, then did two pickups.  The big item was two more solar panels.  Freaking things are almost 4ft x 6ft.  Took them to the shop, unloaded, cleared a path to the item I&#8217;m selling, and changed the locks on the door.   It was a sorta productive day.<\/p>\n<p>I hope today is more productive.  I still haven&#8217;t made arrangements with the buyer for a real meeting time.  I would like to get that taken care of.  I could do two pickups today or put them off until tomorrow.  I&#8217;m still pretty sore from all the bending and carrying&#8230; so not super motivated.   We&#8217;ll see how the morning goes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got plenty to do around the house.  Not bidding on stuff is supposed to be freeing up time for me, and it has.  I&#8217;m still working on it though.   I need to be a little bit better during my mornings too.<\/p>\n<p>The world is getting twitchier every day.  Stuff could break loose anytime.  There are typically some &#8216;fits and starts&#8217; at the beginning, so you&#8217;ll know, but then it might be too late for real prepping.   Get your stuff in order, like a hurricane was coming.   <\/p>\n<p>And big picture?  Take a look at your easily searchable online history and see if you might be making yourself a target.  Some of us, there isn&#8217;t anything we can do about it.   Some of you might be better off without a target on your back.  It&#8217;s all fun and games until the molotovs start flying.   <\/p>\n<p>Stack like you might not be able to next week.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool.
