Maybe a bit cooler?\u00a0 It would be nice.<\/p>\n
Despite the overcast, yesterday stayed hot and stuffy all day.<\/p>\n
I got a laundry list of small things done, and I’m going to take the ‘baby steps’ are still steps award.<\/p>\n
Other than taking down my 40m dipole wire antenna, very little involved preps.\u00a0 Oh, I had a can of mango explode, and another bulging.\u00a0 I cleaned up that mess, and washed out the bin, and the cans.\u00a0 Used another can to make cobbler for dessert.\u00a0 I like mango cobbler better than peach so I stock mango.<\/p>\n
While cleaning up that mess, I found some mouse droppings and a 2\/3’s empty peanut butter jar.\u00a0 Another jar was gnawed and open.\u00a0 F me.\u00a0\u00a0 Set some glue traps in the shelves.\u00a0 Cleaned up the mess.\u00a0 Putting the cans (everything really) in shallow lidded bins payed off.\u00a0 The mold from the exploding can only affected the one bin.\u00a0\u00a0 All the other food was untouched by mice except the aging peanut butter that wasn’t in a bin.\u00a0 Given enough time, the peanut oil seems to migrate through the plastic jar, and I’m sure that was an attractant. The cans that failed were the ‘pop top’ style and the top did indeed POP.\u00a0 It couldn’t be rats because my colony of rats learned that peanut butter = death, and they wouldn’t touch the stuff.\u00a0 Time to refresh the poison bait boxes too.<\/p>\n
I did manage to go through a couple of boxes in the garage that I haven’t opened in a while.\u00a0 Moved some of the contents to the trash, some to the ebay pile, some to the local auction pile, and some to the ‘hamfest’ pile.\u00a0 I really hope we can have our hamfest in March.\u00a0 My non-prepping hobby club is planning a meeting next Saturday in a much larger space than we used to use.\u00a0 I intend to attend.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got no problem masking and staying masked, most of the guys are older than me.\u00a0 Funny, my ham radio meetings are that way too.\u00a0 My part of the hamfest is the swapmeet and that is all outside anyway.<\/p>\n
My plan for today is the same as always.\u00a0 We’ll see how the plan does against reality.\u00a0\u00a0 Keep stacking.<\/p>\n
