Rainy and wet, with an unknown number of bad things happening overnight.\u00a0\u00a0 Unknown because I was asleep, and if I don’t directly experience it, it must not have happened, right?\u00a0 Oh, yeah, that’s not how my team thinks.<\/p>\n
Spent the day doing auction stuff, while waiting for septic service guys and foundation repair guys to call back.\u00a0\u00a0 The good news is I have an appointment to meet the septic guy on site – Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0 I can even sleep in my own bed, and drive up there for the meeting.\u00a0\u00a0 And if the toilets flush and the shower drains flow, I might stay up there and work.\u00a0 If I can get the foundation guy there during that time, I’ll feel like king of the world.<\/p>\n
Today is pickups and a lot of driving around.\u00a0\u00a0 Lots of stuff for the new house, some ham\/radio stuff to use and to resell, and various bits and pieces.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have an item that I sold 16 days ago, shipped USPS Priority Mail, and it still hasn’t been delivered.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It showed as “unknown” until today when it popped back up in the system in St. Louis.\u00a0\u00a0 Hopefully it will be delivered in a day or two.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The buyer has been very patient.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He didn’t even let me know it wasn’t there yet until a couple of days ago.\u00a0\u00a0 I was going to ship replacements today, but since it popped up, he said to hold off on that.\u00a0\u00a0 Mail is getting weirder, and not just for me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Breakdowns in previously reliable services are just one of the signs of a slow collapse.\u00a0\u00a0 If it’s really happening, you’ll be responsible for more and more of what USED to be provided by others, or you’ll have to be content with whatever you get, whenever you get it.\u00a0 Think about the systems and what you can do to replace them or smooth the ups and downs.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll look at this in a bit more detail later but my mind is foggy today.<\/p>\n
Stack stuff you will need for infrastructure or services, even if you don’t put it into use today.\u00a0 Stack it high.<\/p>\n
