Forecast has the whole country in a high pressure zone, with clear weather for the next two days. Plenty of cold for everyone too. I expect that’s just what we’ll get. It was still very nice yesterday afternoon in the sun. Temps dropped pretty rapidly with nightfall.<\/p>\n
I slept in and then did smaller things all day. I got several longstanding items off the list. They are little things but were for other members of the household, so I’m sure they are glad that I finally got to them. Did some domestic bliss too, and some cleaning and organizing. I need to clear out a space for the Christmas tree, so I need to keep moving with that.<\/p>\n
Part of that was setting up IKEA cube storage to get some of my LP records out of crates on the floor. I got about 5 linear feet sorted. I have about two feet for ebay and local auction sale too. Old funk and R&B is bringing some good prices, and it’s not something I have a great desire to listen to. I am keeping some of the early rap and some of the more famous funk though. I’ve got a lot more to sort and shelve. <\/p>\n
I even managed to cut the grass in the back yard, and install more anti-bird spikes along the top of the fence. Birds don’t bother me, but I’m trying to discourage the possums from using the fence as a literal highway. It drives the dog into a frenzy, and since the possum freezes, the dog just keeps going nuts until one of us gets him, or moves the possum along with a broom or stick. It’s also not neighborly to let the dog bark. <\/p>\n
Today I’ll keep working the list and moving stuff around. I will try to take another load out of the house, either a scrap\/trash run or getting more of the sale items out. Then I really need to start on the back patio, which became a dumping ground for too much stuff without other homes. I’ve been neglecting it too long.<\/p>\n
I need to work toward clearing a path to get the safe out of the driveway and up to the BOL. <\/p>\n
Of course all the usual stuff is going on too, and I’m sure some urgent stuff will pop up, because it always does. <\/p>\n
That’s what happens when you are living your life. <\/p>\n
Somewhere in there I need to work on the generators and do some other explicitly prepping stuff too. And always, there is stacking.<\/p>\n
