We are supposed to get scattered T-storms, cooler temps, and locally heavy rain today.\u00a0\u00a0 I hope not.\u00a0 I’ve got a dryer to install…<\/p>\n
Yesterday was warm and moist all day.\u00a0\u00a0 Sweat dripping and uncomfortable with any exertion moist.\u00a0 The wind and lack of sun were the only saving graces.\u00a0 Yeah sure.\u00a0 I guess I could have said, the warmer weather was a welcome visitor after last week’s record cold, with a springlike breeze providing a cooling action for any outdoor exertion. \u00a0 I guess I’m not a professional liar like the folks on the Tee Vee.<\/p>\n
I’m also not getting $2K to use my social influence to sell the city’s message like the cool kids in MN…\u00a0 What am I doing wrong??\u00a0 NO Russian media spend, no chinese bribery, no misguided city council money…\u00a0\u00a0 I guess I must still have my soul despite all those youthful attempts to trade it away.<\/p>\n
I did get some stuff done around the house yesterday.\u00a0 I’m almost finished with about all the yard work I’m willing to do.\u00a0\u00a0 I still have to run the sprinklers if we don’t get that “locally heavy rain” (and if they work), and spread some grass seed.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got most of a bag left and might as well use it.<\/p>\n
I did some clearing out and organizing in my office.\u00a0 Some being ‘very little but it’s a start’–\u00a0 well, a continuation of what I started by moving my radios (a project I haven’t actually finished either.)\u00a0 Still have plenty to do there…<\/p>\n
Today, in theory, I’m installing a dryer and troubleshooting an A\/C system at my rent house.\u00a0 I’m hoping for a straight swap on the dryer, and something simple like a bad capacitor on the A\/C.\u00a0\u00a0 The dryer died before the cold snap, the A\/C might have been killed by cold, or the power going on and off.\u00a0 I hope it’s just normal wear and tear though.\u00a0 And of course, this is all inserted into my existing list of stuff that needs doing, without expanding the days in a week or hours in a day.\u00a0 On the other hand, as long as .gov stays out of my business, rental property should be a pretty good hedge against inflation, if we’re not tied to a crazy long lease.<\/p>\n
I think we’re going to need hedges against inflation.<\/p>\n
And the way things are going, I’m making book on when we’ll see the first case of ebola outside of africa.\u00a0 My record isn’t great, Biden made it to March… and the euro never did collapse, although Brexit did happen.\u00a0 On the other hand, we are in the middle of a global pandemic.<\/p>\n
The best advice I can think to give is HAVE REAL STUFF.\u00a0 In other words…………… keep stacking.<\/p>\n
