The weather will probably be the same, hot and humid, although the national forecast has us in the &#8220;could be t-storms and rain&#8221; zone.  It certainly got above 100F yesterday afternoon.  I&#8217;m hoping there won&#8217;t be rain today or tomorrow, but I&#8217;d rather get it out of the way before the weekend if we have to get some.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the morning doing auction stuff.  There was one item I really wanted, but I came to my senses and tapped out.  It ended up going for one bid past my high bid.   If it wasn&#8217;t north of Austin, and didn&#8217;t have to be picked up today, I might have gone a bit higher, but the pickup was obnoxious given my plans.  I&#8217;m also pretty sure that I noticed an issue that can&#8217;t be fixed at any cost, that would have ruled out spending a bunch of money on restoration.  Even restored it would have been on borrowed time.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went to work getting the rest of the stuff out of my storage unit.  That took a trip at 1pm, followed by a bunch of organizing at the shop to make room for the 5pm trip, and I went back at 8pm for the last scraps.  They&#8217;re still in the truck, but I&#8217;m out of that unit, and only 6 months later than I should have been.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ll deal with the stuff in the truck, load up for the BOL, hit a dumpster, two pickups, and then head to the lake.  If it&#8217;s not raining, I&#8217;ll probably jump on the mower and do what I can before losing the light.  I want it mowed before any rain we might get.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll do my decorating for Independence Day, and start working on the list&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Always be working to improve your situation, whether it&#8217;s your fitness, health, finances, or physical surrounding.  <\/p>\n<p>And of course, stacking is the easiest part.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not the weather silly, my task list.
