Maybe the rain will finally get here.\u00a0 It missed us yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 The tree guys finished just as the wind shifted and the horizon turned black and ugly, but we didn’t actually get the storm that looked like it was headed right for us.<\/p>\n
I did manage to get a few things done during the day.\u00a0 I worked on the raised beds a tiny bit, pruned some trees, and organized and put a few things away.\u00a0\u00a0 Mostly just little tiny things, but trying to keep some momentum going.\u00a0 One little thing, the brass caps for the 1 pound propane bottles came in, and I’ve been putting them on bottles and putting the bottles back in storage.\u00a0\u00a0 I bought a bunch of them, like 32?, and I’ll be refilling a bunch of small bottles now that I have a good way to reseal them.<\/p>\n
The tree guys left some decent stacks of cut logs.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got nothing like enough wood to heat the house, but WAY more than needed for the backyard fire pit, so\u00a0 I’ll share with one or more of the neighbors.\u00a0 Pecan makes for good smoke in the smoker, and nice hot fires in the firepit.\u00a0 One of the neighbors makes great sausage from deer and pig.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m hoping for reciprocity.\u00a0 Meatspace!<\/p>\n
I used instacart to get my HEB groceries and Costco order delivered.\u00a0\u00a0 There are many reasons to shop myself, but the main reason to use instacart is that it saves time and allows me to be home while waiting.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I was a bit surprised by how much of the stuff on my “buy it again” lists was out of stock.\u00a0 The supply chain here is clearly still messed up from last week.\u00a0\u00a0 Costco was particularly short on meat.\u00a0 HEB was short on bread and baked goods.<\/p>\n
This is the first Saturday in a while that I don’t have any auction pickups, no appointments, and nothing that is critical to get done.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s not that I don’t have things to do or that I got caught up, but nothing HAS to be done today.\u00a0 Since I’m still not feeling 100% I’m sleeping in.\u00a0 Then I’ll get back to it.<\/p>\n
Whatever you’re short of, keep stacking it.\u00a0 And keep thinking about what you might need.<\/p>\n
