Hot today. <\/p>\n
Hot yesterday. REAL hot in the later half of the day. 106F in my driveway in the sun. I was pretty sweaty in the garage.<\/p>\n
I’m making slow progress on a couple of areas in the garage. Too hot to work in the driveway yesterday.<\/p>\n
Kids are interested in some mods to their play structure. They’re both getting older and I took down the spiral slide last year. Never replaced the slide. I am thinking about a climbing wall, maybe a crack machine. I picked up a bucket of climbing holds at some point, so I just need to figure out structure and how to make it work with what’s already there. Wife is talking about setting up my apocalypse water collector (ie. kiddie pool) and taking down the play structure completely. I think it’s a bit too early to do that. The pool, on the other hand, might need to kill some grass in the shade of the tree. Grass looks so nice I hesitate… we did get word from our swim team and Rec association pool. No swim meets this year, some training for team, while maintaining distancing. Not sure how that’ll work. Pool will open next week with cleaning and distancing rules in place. Sounds sketchy to me. So a wading pool might be necessary, or just wanted. As an aside, the mom’s club FB pages are full of people trying to get an above ground, or fiberglas in ground pool put in pronto. They aren’t gonna be swapping spit at the local rec association pool…<\/p>\n
So that’s a long term effect. It might kill some neighborhood pools that were struggling with membership issues or damage from Harvey. <\/p>\n
I really don’t see what the endgame and way out of this is, unless it dies out naturally, there is immunity and a reliable test, or a vaccine. <\/p>\n
And Hey! Hurricane season is coming! I really need to find my motivation and get busy. I’ve got lots to do still.<\/p>\n
And I bet you can think of some stuff to do too.<\/p>\n
So get busy, learning, stacking, sorting, and figuring out how to get ahead in this new world.<\/p>\n
