Hot and humid.\u00a0 Yep.\u00a0 Again.<\/p>\n
Didn’t see the high yesterday, but it was hot.\u00a0 High 90s in the shade for sure.<\/p>\n
I took a few minutes and got a coat of Thompsons colored water seal on the teak table.\u00a0 I was sweating by the time I was done, despite being in the shade, and hardly exerting myself wiping the oil on…<\/p>\n
After that I did a couple of pickups.\u00a0 Talked to my auctioneer and he put me off until Friday.\u00a0 He’s busy.\u00a0 Picked up a hundred 12ga rounds at one auction, and some dental tools.\u00a0 I intend to use the tools for working with clay not teeth \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0 I also swung by my secondary location, and picked up some stuff.\u00a0 Both kids want second monitors for their school laptops.\u00a0 The teacher sends links to content during the video call, and there isn’t room onscreen for everything.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got lots of monitors, so it was no biggie, but I’m betting most of the other kids don’t have a <s>hoarder<\/s> prepper for a dad.\u00a0\u00a0 I grabbed #1 daughter a keyboard too.\u00a0 I didn’t have a USB port replicator or dock, since their lappys are all USB C.\u00a0 That’s too new for me.\u00a0 Once again though, backups for the win!<\/p>\n
I also picked up a black and white laser printer for me.\u00a0\u00a0 My HP P1005 finally stopped working.\u00a0 I had a pallet of old laser printers I paid $5 for some years ago.\u00a0\u00a0 My intention was to swap printers instead of toner.\u00a0 I liked my P1005 though, and bought one $10 toner for it.\u00a0 I’ve got 2 HP lasers left.\u00a0 I hope the one I brought home works still.\u00a0 I’ll find out later today.\u00a0 I must have scrapped out the rest of the pile at some point.\u00a0 I don’t remember.\u00a0 I probably kept the toner carts though…<\/p>\n
Yeah, there is a cost to keeping all the cr– ,\u00a0 er… stuff.\u00a0 I get that.\u00a0 But it’s immensely satisfying to just grab something that will get the job done, without any drama or time used.\u00a0 If we were further down the slope of the collapse, I can imagine situations where what you’ve got is all you can safely get…\u00a0 a big chunk of the world works that way now.\u00a0 Thank Gnu we’re not there yet.\u00a0 It’s Wednesday and already I’ve pulled a couple monitors, cables, a monitor stand, a printer, keyboard, can of spray sticky, some decorative fabric, and a variety of other stuff off the pile and put them to use.\u00a0 That’s cool.<\/p>\n
Speaking of cool, I received the fridge monitor someone recommended, I’ll be installing that today.\u00a0 Thanks for the tip.\u00a0 So far, touch wood, everything has\u00a0 been fine in the fridge zone… trust, but verify.<\/p>\n
I also got most of my gennie parts, so that’s on the list today too.<\/p>\n
I’ve got a vet appointment for my little guy this AM.\u00a0 He’s due for heartworm and some other shots, and we want to talk to the Dr about his fairly sudden hearing loss.\u00a0 It seems like it happened in a matter of weeks that we noticed something, and now he’s almost entirely deaf.\u00a0 Maybe there’s some reason besides old age, and we can help.<\/p>\n
Grid’s up, and bodies aren’t stacked in the street.\u00a0 USE the time you have, and stack it high.<\/p>\n
