Moderate temps today with some chance of light rain.\u00a0 So someone in Houston will be getting rain, I hope it’s not me.\u00a0\u00a0 Saturday was humid but otherwise very nice.\u00a0\u00a0 I am glad for the extra bit of Spring before the heat of Summer kicks in.<\/p>\n
Did my dad duties, did some shopping for the garden and to close the wall where there water heater used to be.\u00a0 Did some cleanup around the house, but really should have done more.<\/p>\n
Wife and D1 will be home late this morning.\u00a0 I’m planning to sleep in as long as possible.<\/p>\n
Then I’ll do some more household chores and cleanup.\u00a0 I should have a few minutes to dump the bags of dirt onto the raised beds and get the potted plants into the ground.\u00a0 I’m going with a minimum here this spring as it’s already a bit late.\u00a0 Peppers, zukes, cukes, small watermelons, and some beans if I can remember correctly.\u00a0 The small pots that were $3.83 each last year are almost $5 this year.\u00a0 Even the cashier at Home Depot asked me if I was sure I wanted that many plants… \u00a0 But I use AMEX rewards for the garden expenses, so I was sure. \u00a0 My wife already put in a couple of tomato plants, the collards are\u00a0 from last year, and the herbs are either new or from last year too.\u00a0 Gardening work is predicated on no or little rain of course.<\/p>\n
I really need to get up to the lake and get the garden going.\u00a0 I’ve got other stuff I need to do up there, and there are at least two pickups full of stuff waiting to go up.\u00a0 The latest load includes an armchair, and a wheelbarrow, along with some long term storage food.\u00a0\u00a0 On the one hand, since we have a ton of work to do, we don’t want a ton of stuff in the way.\u00a0 On the other, it’s piling up here, and needs to move.\u00a0\u00a0 On the gripping hand, I’m much more comfortable getting some back up stuff up there.<\/p>\n
Diversification of location.\u00a0 Yeah, that’s the ticket.<\/p>\n
Supply chain is getting worse.\u00a0\u00a0 The shutdowns in Shanghai should start showing up in delays pretty soon.\u00a0 Don’t get caught flat footed.\u00a0 Stack what you need.<\/p>\n
