Cold, but I don’t know yet how cold it will get, or how cold it got.\u00a0 It was 35F when I went to bed.\u00a0 It is supposed to be clear today anyway, and tomorrow as well.<\/p>\n
Mostly spent yesterday poking at things.\u00a0 I did get to the grocery store, and noted in comments that\u00a0 there were big gaps in the shelves in several areas.\u00a0\u00a0 Cat food and cold and flu OTC meds being the most prominent.<\/p>\n
Today should be more auction and ebay stuff. If the weather stays clear I’ll go to my storage unit and clean and sort.\u00a0 If not, I’ll do some more ebay stuff here at the house.\u00a0 I’ve got stuff to test and clean and list.\u00a0\u00a0 Last night I had stuff sell in the auction by the guy who changed his mind about taking all of my stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 I think I did well with LPs and with books, of all things.\u00a0 There were a couple of collectibles that didn’t do badly, and there was some stuff that sold for $1, but\u00a0 at least it’s gone.<\/p>\n
I hope he’ll be happy and take another load right away.<\/p>\n
This afternoon and evening, my wife and D2 will be joined by the rest of her troop and they’ll be off to GS camp for a Gymkana, whatever that is.\u00a0\u00a0 The hope is sports on horseback, and related to horses.\u00a0 Hard to be sure from the GS description.\u00a0 Friday and Saturday night away, home Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 That leaves me with D1 and a bunch of work to do.\u00a0 We’ll see how that goes.\u00a0 Cookie season is in a week or two, so the last bits have to be out of the house to make way.\u00a0 Of course that was supposed to have already happened, but …\u00a0 plans vs reality.<\/p>\n
While I was at the grocery, I did add a flat of canned peas to the stacks,\u00a0 6 pounds of bacon, and some pork chops and loin.\u00a0 Beef was in short supply and none was on sale.\u00a0 A little voice keeps poking me to add alternatives to fresh milk.\u00a0 I have a bunch of Lido powdered full fat, and we don’t use as\u00a0 much as we did a year ago, but I think I’ll add more.\u00a0\u00a0 It keeps fairly well.\u00a0\u00a0 I should open an old can and see how it’s doing.\u00a0 For science or something.\u00a0\u00a0 But seriously, when I get little pokes from the universe like I’ve been getting about the milk, I ignore it at my peril.\u00a0\u00a0 YMMV but I’ll be checking the old and adding some new.<\/p>\n
Anyone else getting weird vibes or feel short of something?<\/p>\n
If you do, stack it up.<\/p>\n

BTW, I’ve now been doing this officially for 4 years ( a bit longer if you count the days I was just filling in for Bob while he was sick), without missing a day that I can remember.\u00a0 Some days the end product was pretty weak, but at least the lights were on and the door unlocked.\u00a0 All y’all are the reason I do it, to keep this unique thing that Bob built alive.\u00a0 Thanks for sticking around and making this place somewhere I enjoy spending my time.\u00a0 And thank you Barbara for letting us, and Rick for making it all work.\u00a0 We’ve got a rocky road ahead, but we’re all better prepared for it than we were, and we will get through it.<\/p>\n
