Cool, maybe a little rain, possible overcast, but generally nice.<\/p>\n
Like yesterday.\u00a0 I got the tiniest little spritz in the late afternoon, but otherwise a nice day.\u00a0 Some sun, some warmth, shirtsleeves and shorts, no sweat dripping off my nose.<\/p>\n
I am not feeling great, but still\u00a0 have things to do, so I’ve been doing them.\u00a0 More slowly to be sure, but still moving.\u00a0 I took a couple of hundred pounds of scrap to the recycler after breaking down a bunch of electronics and a bunch of wiring harnesses.\u00a0\u00a0 I won’t get rich, but the stuff leaves, and I get some money back for it.\u00a0 It does take time, but today paid me at better than $20\/hr for the time.<\/p>\n
Assuming that we can have our Hamfest in March, I’m planning to bring bins of salvaged electrical and electronic parts to the swapmeet.\u00a0 I didn’t get a bunch of radios this year so I need something to sell, and I’ve got bins of “something” that need to leave.\u00a0 The parts are things that seemed too good to just break up for recycle, like panel meters, power supply modules, connectors, fuse holders, stuff like that.\u00a0 It sold well for me last year when I finally brought it out.\u00a0 I’ve got spools of cable and wire too.\u00a0 They always sell well when priced right.\u00a0 Assuming we’re not in the middle of a guerrilla war, or facing terror attacks from the insurgency.<\/p>\n
Plan and prepare for bad things, but continue living your life in case they don’t happen.<\/p>\n
Still not feeling well.\u00a0 Less of the sharpness in my lungs today, but still coughing and sore throat.\u00a0 Still the feeling of being unwell.\u00a0 No test results.\u00a0 I did finally get the CVS online portal thing set up and working.\u00a0 Some part of the process failed the first time, and I didn’t really get my account set up.\u00a0 Now it is, and it says “no test results available”.\u00a0 It also now says 3-4 days to process, up from 2-3.<\/p>\n
Haven’t definitively called off the FL trip, but I’m 99% certain I better get a turkey defrosting here.<\/p>\n
My third local auction company agreed to take a bunch of stuff on consignment next week.\u00a0 I will fill up some bins for them.\u00a0 My auction items seemed to sell well last night, but I haven’t seen final numbers yet.\u00a0 I want them to do well so the auctioneer makes money and wants more of my stuff.\u00a0 And I need to get it out of here.\u00a0 The time from Thanksgiving to February historically has been a slow sales time for me, but maybe the old rules have changed.\u00a0 I certainly hope so.<\/p>\n
So much is changing now, or set to change dramatically, that it’s hard to plan for any specific outcome.\u00a0 I’m trying to plan for the worst but still be ready if it doesn’t materialize.\u00a0 My prepping can’t have irrevocable consequences.\u00a0 That’s been one of my rules from the beginning.\u00a0 That might change at some point, but for now, that’s bedrock.\u00a0 It leaves a pretty broad range of choices still in most situations while hopefully protecting me from excess.\u00a0\u00a0 We’ll see I guess.<\/p>\n
Meantime, I’m sleeping in a bit, then continuing to nibble away at the pile of stuff that needs doing.\u00a0 Keep working the problem, keep learning, keep stacking.<\/p>\n
