Cold, but not COLD<\/em>.\u00a0 I think it got into the mid 50s yesterday and I expect more of the same today.\u00a0 It was low 40s when I went to bed.<\/p>\n

I spent most of the day Sunday dealing with HVAC issues at my rent house.\u00a0 Then I did a bit of thrifting on my way home.\u00a0 Got a framed map of Skyrim for D1.\u00a0 She wanted me to frame my map from the game disk box, but I said no, so finding one already framed was a bit of niceness in the day.\u00a0 I picked up a couple of things that will sell really well, for nice margins the next time I can get stuff into an auction.<\/p>\n

No word from my storage unit on any video evidence.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll ping her again today and maybe I can start cleaning up and find out if any of the high value stuff got left behind.\u00a0\u00a0 My suspicion is only the more esoteric, harder to sell stuff got left behind.<\/p>\n

The problems with the heat at my rent house point out the benefit of having backups.\u00a0 When your heat goes out, you may not be able to get a service guy to see you for a while, and he may not be able to get parts for a while… so having some alternative heating (or cooling) methods makes good sense.\u00a0 The grid doesn’t have to be down for you personally to need backups.\u00a0\u00a0 That goes for drinking water too.<\/p>\n

Today is a disjointed mess.\u00a0 I should be hanging some TVs for my client but IDK if the painters got done, given the shutdown for freezing Friday.\u00a0 It’s also my short workday because of time with my daughter in the afternoon, and I would like to be there when the HVAC guy is at my rental.\u00a0 I will probably prioritize daughter, and just let him do his thing.\u00a0\u00a0 Tenants are both work-from-home, so\u00a0 they’ll be there to let him in.<\/p>\n

I should get my burgled storage unit back in shape and get more stuff out of the house too.\u00a0 And during the week, we’ve got a plumber coming to install a tankless hot water heater (which I have to prep for by clearing the work area, and putting up a mounting board).\u00a0 AND I have to get my client’s house back together, AND get stuff pulled for my non-prepping hobby’s quarterly mini-swapmeet.\u00a0 AND school has early dismissal Thursday and Friday for some reason, AND all\u00a0 the other normal things as the social and economic structure of our world shifts around us….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, busy week ahead.<\/p>\n

Start building on your backups for your critical systems and supplies.\u00a0 Stack them high and deep.<\/p>\n
