Hot and humid again.\u00a0 Same same.<\/p>\n
Yesterday stayed hot hot hot all day.\u00a0 And sweat through to your skin in 5 minutes humid.<\/p>\n
So, while I didn’t get much done in the garage, given that it was more than 109F in there, I did yard work.\u00a0 Cut the grass, pulled a couple of weeds.\u00a0\u00a0 Cleaned up the rest of the mess the heavy trash guys left.\u00a0 Cut and stacked the free firewood.\u00a0 (Used the electric chainsaw.)\u00a0 Pushed dirt around the bottom of the pool.<\/p>\n
Then did my auction pickup.\u00a0\u00a0 Helped load the old bedroom furniture into a lady’s truck (3 trips to fit it all).\u00a0 Cooked dinner.\u00a0 Put the kids to bed.\u00a0 Read more Tales of Alvin Maker: Prentice Alvin to the oldest.\u00a0 Watched some youtube.<\/p>\n
Dinner was some super scraggly and thin asparagus from the last supply drop, and almost 2 pounds of sirloin steak from the freezer.\u00a0 My 9yo ate the biggest hunk, half a pound at least, and more than I ate.\u00a0 She is a vicious little carnivore.\u00a0 Last year’s girl scout cookies for dessert.<\/p>\n
Today I’m really really really trying to get the freezer into the garage.\u00a0 I’ve got to get a ton of shirt out first, and it’s hot.\u00a0 But I need to get it settled and start stocking it again.\u00a0 I’ve also looked at freezer temperature alarms, and they are either cheap and poorly reviewed, or pretty dang pricey.\u00a0 I’ve got normal digital thermometers on the fridge and the chest freezer.\u00a0 They don’t alarm though, but you can see at a glance the actual temps.\u00a0 I’m going to look some more before deciding what to get.\u00a0 I sure don’t want to lose another freezer full.<\/p>\n
Speaking of a freezer full, with additional space I’ll be able to store more frozen fruits and veg.\u00a0 I don’t normally keep much besides meat and butter, with some bread products in the freezers.\u00a0 My wife has a bag of fruit chunks for smoothies in the kitchen freezer.\u00a0 One of the observations someone mentioned about the covid lockdowns so far was wishing they had more frozen fruit.\u00a0 I hadn’t thought much about it, and I have canned fruit and fruit pie filling, but I don’t have much frozen.\u00a0 I think I’ll add a shelf of frozen fruit to the pile.<\/p>\n
Always something more to stack, keep at it.<\/p>\n
