Official county stations show high 4&#8243;s to mid 5&#8243; rainfalls all over the county.  Most of it was Northwest, with the least falling in the southeast.  Several streams\/creeks\/bayou feeders have overtopped their banks in outlying areas.  That pig is going to be working its way thru the python for a while.<\/p>\n<p>State of the preps this week- dismal.<\/p>\n<p>I bought some plastic bins to use for canned and boxed food on the storage shelves.  I have to get back to stacking no matter what the rat situation.  I decided the bins were needed because of the spoilage caused by rat urine on the cans.  Boxes and pouches will benefit even more.  The bins are light weight, and clear-ish.  They were still about $10 each.  We&#8217;ll see how they work.<\/p>\n<p>I harvested 2 oranges from the tree, and one meyer lemon.  Not a huge crop.<\/p>\n<p>I bought some rolling shelving carts to help organize all the bins of ebay stuff I have waiting to sell.  Wife isn&#8217;t happy, but the bins are out of my office and the hallway.<\/p>\n<p>Ebay sales were essentially nothing.  I went from a couple thousand or more per month to selling one or two items.  This seems to be common to a lot of resellers at the moment.  I did sell one item yesterday and one today, but at $20 ea. profit, that won&#8217;t pay the bills.  Not sure what to do except keep plugging away.<\/p>\n<p>Office cleanup and organizing continues.  Christmas prepping continues.  Activities are stacking up.  Today I have my non-prepping hobby meeting and an end of season soccer party, tomorrow, 2 Christmas parties and a piano recital all overlap.  Meatspace is great and all, but it will suck up your time.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyone get any preps done?  Anyone feel ready for the holidays?<\/p>\n<p>n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  47F and dripping wet this am.<\/p>\n<p>We got a BUNCH of rain last night.
