Cool, chance of rain, then again, maybe not.<\/p>\n
Had overcast most of Sunday, but when the sun came out, it sure seemed premature to be draining the pool…\u00a0 but drain it we did.\u00a0 Now we need a few more days of no rain to get it dry.\u00a0 It’s so humid, nothing is drying even with fans on it.\u00a0 My (preps) submersible pump sure came in handy.\u00a0 My floor dryer blower will too.\u00a0 It occurred to me that if you live somewhere with heavy rain and flooding, you should have a way to move water.\u00a0 When I had a chance to pick up some pumps cheap I did.\u00a0 Ditto for the floor dryer.<\/p>\n
My wife is working from home M, W, F this week so I have a bit of leaway for pickups and other tasks.\u00a0 So of COURSE my client is having issues.\u00a0 I’m going to try to do my pickups quickly in the morning, then head over to his place.\u00a0 It sounds like more gear is dying from the lightning strikes.\u00a0 We’ll probably replace it all piecemeal.\u00a0\u00a0 Speaking of pickups, what did I get?\u00a0 Some accessory stuff for gubs, 3 bottles of smokeless powder, a small chest freezer, which I will offer to a couple of friends before trying to find it a place at home.\u00a0 Some household stuff.\u00a0 I even picked up some masks.\u00a0 I got a couple of boxes of fifty surgical style with earloops.\u00a0 I don’t wear them but I know people who do.\u00a0 The price was reasonable.\u00a0 I got a box of the K95 double strap “3m” style for 0.40$ per mask.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s a far cry from $3\/mask.\u00a0 I’ve got plenty of N95s left for our use, but my low bid won, so hey, more on the stack.<\/p>\n
Spent a couple of hours looking at the website for the 11 acre property we are considering.\u00a0\u00a0 The house is very strange.\u00a0 It took me over an hour to figure out the floor plan from the photos, and in the end, I have no idea why you’d build something that way…\u00a0 I know why it’s still available now, in addition to being one of the ugliest houses we’ve seen. “A different wood featured in every room!” is not the plus the seller thinks it is.\u00a0\u00a0 Every window is different (which is how I finally figured out where the missing room was.)\u00a0 So much of the wood paneling is on a diagonal or horizontal.\u00a0 Some rooms have 5 or more woods in natural finishes…\u00a0 Low porch roofs make it look very low to the ground.\u00a0 And why wouldn’t you put the big windows and a door on the lake view side of the house?\u00a0 Both bedrooms are tiny, long and narrow.\u00a0 On the other hand, it has a dedicated smoke house, 30×30 metal building as garage\/shop, and a covered shed for vehicle storage.\u00a0 And it’s up against a forest.\u00a0 It’s on a ‘no permanent docks’ lake which saves $15-40K right off the bat.\u00a0 It’s very different from the properties we were looking at a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
So I’m going to have a busy day and a busy week.\u00a0 I’d best get to it.<\/p>\n
Keep stacking what you can, while you can.\u00a0 This election isn’t over, and even when it is, the fight for our country will just be getting started.\u00a0 Keep the faith, but also keep your powder dry.<\/p>\n
