Clear, small chance of rain, and still cool.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was clear and comfortable all day.\u00a0 Really nice weather.\u00a0\u00a0 Humidity is high, but mitigated by the cool temps.\u00a0 It’s just that stuff doesn’t dry.\u00a0\u00a0 For now I can live with that.\u00a0 (58F and 93%RH when I went to bed, 130am)<\/p>\n
Spent most of yesterday either buying a new truck or cleaning out my old one.\u00a0\u00a0 FILLED the Ranger with stuff from the back of the Expy.\u00a0\u00a0 And the front of the Expy.\u00a0\u00a0 And the middle.\u00a0 I have to make another trip to finish, and to get the roof rack and sirius\/xm module.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I had a lot of stuff squirreled away in that truck.\u00a0\u00a0 Not all of it is going back into the new truck either.\u00a0\u00a0 200 pounds of b ody ar mor for example….\u00a0 I bought the plates and forgot they were in the truck.\u00a0 I found a dewalt impact driver I can’t remember buying, or getting as a gift.\u00a0 Battery was still charged though.\u00a0 Gotta love lithium batteries.<\/p>\n
I was supposed to spend today doing one pickup of the gennie I bought, and two drop offs at local auctions.\u00a0\u00a0 I cancelled one drop off already and I’m going to try rescheduling the gennie pickup.\u00a0\u00a0 I can usually pick up from that seller late, but the forklift might not be available.\u00a0\u00a0 I have ramps, but it won’t be easy.\u00a0 I really need to make the drop off at the new auctioneer though.<\/p>\n
I’m scheduled to pick up the new truck around 330, after picking up daughter 2 from school.\u00a0\u00a0 That will involve about 2 hours total and blow my late afternoon.\u00a0 It’s always something.<\/p>\n
My CD and DVD ripping project continues.\u00a0 It is becoming very clear that if there is some media you like and want to continue to have available to you, you need to OWN it.\u00a0\u00a0 Books are being banned.\u00a0 Films are being re-edited. Books are disappearing from sales at amazon (I can’t remember the titles so it could be commercial reasons, but the removal of the book TITLE suggests that it’s more than a royalty or rights dispute, and amazon has clawed back kindle books and edited kindle books in the past so they are suspect).<\/p>\n
Some movies are only available with a scold attached, for now.\u00a0 Eventually they’ll be gone.<\/p>\n
I am not buying most media new, so I’m not feeding the monster (or the creators, but that’s a different discussion).\u00a0 I am building my library, and my media collection.\u00a0\u00a0 Will it ever get to the point that they come looking for them?\u00a0 I can’t say.\u00a0\u00a0 For most people, relying on the ‘cloud’ and streaming services, there won’t be any badthink to come looking for<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 It just won’t be available in the first place.\u00a0\u00a0 The classics of western civilization and the bedrock writings of our country’s founding are already under attack, de-emphasized, and pretty much have<\/em> <\/strong>to be marginalized in order for the social changes to go unopposed.<\/p>\n Make sure you have food for the mind and the soul stacked up, as well as actual food.\u00a0\u00a0 Keep stacking food.\u00a0 Hungry people are desperate people.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n nick <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Clear, small chance of rain, and still cool.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was clear and comfortable all day.\u00a0 Really nice weather.\u00a0\u00a0 Humidity is high, but mitigated by the cool temps.\u00a0 It’s just that stuff doesn’t dry.\u00a0\u00a0 For now I can live with that.\u00a0 (58F and 93%RH when I went to bed, 130am)<\/p>\n Spent most of yesterday either buying a new truck or cleaning out my old one.\u00a0\u00a0 FILLED the Ranger with stuff from the back of the Expy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
