Mild, sunny, windows down and stereo up while you drive around kind of day.<\/p>\n<p>I did my pickups yesterday, then hit Costco and Goodwill on the way home.  The Goodwill in Katy Mills usually has good stuff and yesterday didn&#8217;t disappoint.   I got an arduino development kit, and an additional organizer case full of servos and other bits and pieces for the microcontroller experimenter.  I also grabbed a nice shirt and a couple of other things.   They all had red tags, meaning they&#8217;d just come out that day.  <\/p>\n<p>Costco did not have my replacement battery.  I&#8217;m going to have to make a special trip to the only store around that stocks it.  The AAA battery has been working fine.<\/p>\n<p>After another pickup, I went to the shop and sorted stuff.  Spent some time breaking down some scrap too.  Eventually it got dark, and felt later than it really was, so I went home.<\/p>\n<p>Today is my hobby meeting.  I&#8217;m only bringing a couple of things to sell, instead of a couple of bins full.  Most of the guys have seen it before so I&#8217;m only bringing new  stuff.   I hope we have a new member or two. I met and invited a guy at an estate sale last week.  Any hobby club that hopes to survive needs new members, and getting them seems to be the hardest part.<\/p>\n<p>After the meeting, if it&#8217;s not raining, I&#8217;ll load up the truck and head to the BOL.   I&#8217;ve got a pile of stuff to go up, and I&#8217;m sure the grass needs cutting.  The rest of the list is still hanging around there too.<\/p>\n<p>Trying not to falter.   Trying to keep up.  <\/p>\n<p>Stack something.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And it&#8217;s supposed to be raining today and tomorrow.
