Cool and breezy.\u00a0 I hope.<\/p>\n
Yesterday stayed cooler all day, starting out and ending up positively chilly for this time of year.\u00a0 Of course, this is Houston, so we could still get some 90F days before Fall really gets here.\u00a0 In any case, September is on it’s way out the door, and we’re on the downhill slide through the Holidays and into the New Year.<\/p>\n
I did spend yesterday running a bunch of errands.\u00a0 Picked up my auction items.\u00a0 Dropped off some clothes for goodwill, and some cleaner for my buddy who got water in his house during the flooding.\u00a0\u00a0 Best to nip any issues in the bud, before mold has a chance to get established.\u00a0 Sold one of the things he listed for me— I mean ALL of the things that weren’t lost in a boating accident.<\/p>\n
Took 166 pounds of dead lead acid batteries to the scrapyard.\u00a0 With a couple of pounds of aluminum and some motors, I got $40.\u00a0\u00a0 Prices have not recovered from the china trade war, or covid.\u00a0 Not gonna get rich scrappin’ but it gets the stuff out of here and it’s money.<\/p>\n
Fixed an issue with the A\/C blower in my Expedition.\u00a0 Only took a few minutes to find that the plug on the resistor pack had come undone.\u00a0 Much easier and cheaper than replacing the pack, but unfortunately, I already bought the pack.\u00a0 I guess I have a spare for a common issue now.\u00a0 Nice to have a choice of fan speeds again.<\/p>\n
Gave the down coat I washed to youngest, who loves it.\u00a0 Gave the down vest to my wife.\u00a0 Fits great and is true outdoor gear from Eastern Mountain Sports.\u00a0 I’d like to find a down coat for daughter one, then we’ll all have a couple of choices for cold weather gear.\u00a0 Don’t usually need it, but my girls are southern belles.\u00a0 Daughter one was wearing a coat in the house today, ‘cuz it was 74F inside and she was chilly sitting on the couch.\u00a0 They’ll freeze solid if it ever gets really cold \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
The shouting match sold as a debate did not reassure me of anything.\u00a0 They got sleepy Joe to stand up for over an hour, and he only slurred and lost focus once that I saw.\u00a0\u00a0 Other than that he was rude, dismissive, called Trump names, and seems to think he only has one son, the dead one.\u00a0 I noticed that whenever he says “my son” he means the dead one.<\/p>\n
Trump avoided making definitive statements on the Proud Boys and AGW.\u00a0 Got lots of shots in about Hunter, socialists, law and order, and ballot irregularities.\u00a0 He was a bit squirrely on his taxes.<\/p>\n
None of it showed me a likelihood of a peaceful transition.\u00a0 Both vehemently denied the others’ statements calling them lies, and I’m sure the partisan supporters feel the same way. \u00a0\u00a0 Certainly no one’s mind was likely to have been changed about who to vote for.<\/p>\n
Which means, you guessed it, stack it high.\u00a0 Find a place to hide out for the duration, even if it’s your living room.\u00a0 The streets will not be safe.<\/p>\n
