Cool and crisp.\u00a0 Warming later.\u00a0\u00a0 Sun.\u00a0\u00a0 Beautiful weather.<\/p>\n
I didn’t get to the BOL on Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0 Too many things to do, some of which went long, and some of which just popped up…\u00a0\u00a0 Sold my forklift.\u00a0\u00a0 Lost about $400, after having it for 3+ years.\u00a0\u00a0 Like boats, unless it is earning you money, rent, don’t buy.\u00a0 Getting it started after a couple months sitting, after 3 years not moving, took a bit longer than I had budgeted, and the guy was an hour later than I hoped.\u00a0\u00a0 Still, not only did he come by, he bought it. A\u00a0 Craigslist transaction that didn’t suck, yahoo!<\/p>\n
But the delays started to pressure my schedule to do a pickup on the way to the lake.\u00a0\u00a0 Heading home, I chanced upon a yard sale… and really scored.\u00a0 Not preps, but stuff for my workshop.\u00a0 20 large, heavy duty, mostly made in USA C clamps for $50 was like STEALING.\u00a0 A live animal trap, some extension cords, hitch stuff, stapler and staples, and some long reach welding visegrips, brought the total to $100.\u00a0\u00a0 Score.\u00a0 But, that ate some time too.\u00a0\u00a0 When I finally looked at the google map, my drive time was one hour, not 45 minutes!\u00a0\u00a0 And all my slack was gone.\u00a0\u00a0 The straw the broke the dromedary’s hump was an ebay sale just as I was getting ready to leave.\u00a0\u00a0 No way I could pack the sale, get my food and clothes together, and make the hard deadline for the pickup (two roll around AC units and some romex.)\u00a0 \u00a0 I just jumped in the truck and sped on my way.\u00a0 I made the pickup with less than a minute to spare.\u00a0 The guy was pulling through the gate to lock it and leave.\u00a0\u00a0 He was not thrilled, but I was there before 6…<\/p>\n
So today I’ll pack and head out at a more leisurely pace.\u00a0 There was stuff I could have done Sunday morning, but it will wait until Sunday afternoon, or during the week while the foundation guys work.<\/p>\n
There is always more to be done.\u00a0 Like stacking, you just have to keep after it.<\/p>\n
