Hot and humid.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was hot and humid, with a bit of a strong wind from the south on the south side of town.\u00a0 The breeze helped a lot, but it was still stinking humid anywhere the breeze wasn’t.<\/p>\n
Ran around town all afternoon doing pickups.\u00a0\u00a0 Stuff for my wife, and a few tactical items, and one or two lots of my hobby items.<\/p>\n
Supply drop from Costco and HEB is mostly put away.\u00a0 I spent last night breaking down the bulk meat into dinner sized packages, then vac sealed and froze them.\u00a0\u00a0 They’re in the new freezer too, even though it’s just sitting in the driveway.<\/p>\n
I baked bread in the machine again Tuesday, and again it had a ‘sharp’ flavor too it.\u00a0 I suspect that even though it’s edible, and not actually bad tasting, the flour from 2014 isn’t great.\u00a0 So I ordered and received 50 pounds to replace the bucket or two from 2014.\u00a0 Flour is cheap, we can get it, and I knew there would be some spoilage and waste with the way I stored it.\u00a0 As mentioned, it doesn’t smell or taste funny or bad, but there is something that isn’t quite delicious when you bake with it.\u00a0\u00a0 Given that this isn’t the actual zombie apocalypse, replacing it makes sense.\u00a0 Six years with no particular care taken to store it is a long time.<\/p>\n
I was able to get clorox bleach from costco, the 3 gallon pack.\u00a0 That’s a change.\u00a0 Still only Kirkland brand TP, although they had kleenex tissues.\u00a0 Still no clorox cleaners or wipes, and no lysol spray.<\/p>\n
HEB had Prime top sirloin for $7\/ pound.\u00a0 I bought 6 pounds.\u00a0 It was definitely ‘short time’ but that doesn’t bother me as it got vac sealed and frozen.\u00a0 It wasn’t listed as short though.\u00a0\u00a0 That is cheaper than almost any of the beef except hamburger, and there were hamburger choices that were that much or more.\u00a0 It is still possible to be a smart shopper, even remotely with instacart.<\/p>\n
Today will be one last trip to the pool for swim team.\u00a0 I decided that the kids really needed to see their friends and say goodbye.\u00a0 They missed that when school ended and it really bothered them.\u00a0 I hope it isn’t a mistake.\u00a0 Cases and hospitalizations are both rising quite steadily in Houston and the rest of Texas, no matter what my friend says.\u00a0 Hopefully he’s right and there is enough of everything, and that the panic is overblown.\u00a0 I’m not panicked, I’m just sticking to what I decided to do early on.\u00a0 It’s not ebola, but I still don’t want to roll the dice on it.<\/p>\n
One of the local country clubs does a nice little fireworks show for their members that is visible from some public spots.\u00a0 We went there last year, and they say they’ll be doing a show this year too.\u00a0 We’ll be outdoors and distanced… if the weather is good.\u00a0 Trying to find the balance\u00a0 between staying isolated and going out to play in it is difficult.\u00a0\u00a0 Even I’m glad to be out and about, getting a break from being in the house.<\/p>\n
It’s not just wuflu either.\u00a0 The madness of some black lives matter is still ongoing, although it looks to be thoroughly co-opted by antifa and the prog\/socialist left.\u00a0 I put some links up yesterday or the night before with violence directed as us ‘normals’.\u00a0 Keep your awareness up if you are going out.<\/p>\n
And keep stacking while we can.<\/p>\n
