Man, I need to change the batteries in my weather station.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was hot, and humid, with lots of fluffy clouds and some blue sky.  No rain at home or my secondary location.<\/p>\n<p>I did auction pickups today, and went to my secondary to meet a guy about some stuff he bought but never picked up.  It was buried, and I couldn&#8217;t get to it.  Conveniently for him, it&#8217;s enough unburied that it could be pulled out for him.  However, he stood me up.  Rescheduled for this morning.<\/p>\n<p>That made me late to our &#8220;Fifth Grade Graduation Parade.&#8221;  I was a bit skeptical of the idea, and thought a 5th grade graduation was hokey anyway&#8230; but I&#8217;m glad I made it.  I waved from the side of the road as dozens of decorated cars and trucks drove by with the kids waving back.  I&#8217;d forgotten that I know all these kids from my Hands On Science class, and they think of me as a teacher, who some I&#8217;m sure wanted to see one last time.  I was very happy to see the kids, and when they recognized me waving, they smiled and sat up and waved.  It felt really good.  I wasn&#8217;t thinking past my own kids, and that was a mistake.  My daughter was in a great mood afterwards too.<\/p>\n<p>Hit the takeout lane for our favorite greek casual dining and ate restaurant food for the first time in 2 1\/2 months.  And it was good.<\/p>\n<p>That led right into story time, and bed, and then me checking the news.<\/p>\n<p>Holy moly, the riots are coming.  I hope everyone had been getting ready.  I almost flubbed it myself.  I&#8217;ll be carrying my bear spray today as I go back out to meet my buyer.<\/p>\n<p>And I might stop by my favorite toy store and do a bit of meatspace relationship maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Then it&#8217;s back home to see if the pool has everything we need to set it up.  Savvy readers will note that I skipped rotten potato cleanup, and delayed the pool project.  Delayed but can&#8217;t avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner was restaurant food, and dang it was good.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid crowds, keep your situational awareness higher than mine, and keep stacking.<\/p>\n<p>nick  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>   Hot.
