Hot and humid, maybe some rain.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was hot.\u00a0 Humid too, although less than previous.\u00a0 Stuff actually dried in the driveway.<\/p>\n
As expected I spend all afternoon driving around doing pickups.\u00a0 I did get preps as well as home decor…\u00a0 some web gear, some airsoft and BB stuff, some knives…<\/p>\n
I bid on a bunch of ammo last night but it all went for more than I was willing to pay.\u00a0\u00a0 It wasn’t crazy, but it was more than Ammoseek listings.\u00a0 Oddly, Foodsaver bags and rolls sold for pretty much retail, or maybe a bit higher.\u00a0 Didn’t think they were in short supply.<\/p>\n
One of my pickups also sells surplus and salvage direct to the public.\u00a0 It’s mostly clothes, but there is always some food.\u00a0 I grabbed 11 bottles (8oz) of pure USA and Canadian maple syrup for $1 each.\u00a0 Also 9 pounds of ground coffee for $1 \/lb.\u00a0 I’ll count that as a score.\u00a0 We eat a lot of maple syrup.<\/p>\n
Daughter’s room is finally done.\u00a0 We have to hang a couple more pictures when she decides, but the big stuff is all in place.\u00a0 Not counting the bed and rug, pretty much everything else came from an auction over the last year.<\/p>\n
We’ll be doing something to update Daughter 2’s room soon I’m sure.<\/p>\n
The kids, especially the younger one, are showing the strain of not seeing their friends in person, and of staying home.\u00a0 Changing their rooms up is an attempt to give them something new to focus on, and to change things up a bit.\u00a0 My wife has also booked us a rental in Galveston for a couple of days in a week or so.\u00a0 The change of scenery should do everyone good.\u00a0 The kids will get some beach and swim time in too.<\/p>\n
The whole week was eaten up by auction stuff and some minor work in the garage.\u00a0 Wife is happy though and ‘that ain’t nuthin’…<\/p>\n
Today I’ve got another pickup in the afternoon, and I’ll do some more in the garage.\u00a0 I’m hoping to see my buddy at the gun store, just to touch base.\u00a0 Maybe it’s time to sell my very expensive safe queen…<\/p>\n
I’m sure something else will jump up and demand my attention and time.<\/p>\n
I really need to get some stuff done.\u00a0 Stuff isn’t going to stack itself…<\/p>\n
