Damp.\u00a0\u00a0 Warm.\u00a0\u00a0 Springtime for Houston.\u00a0\u00a0 Today should be just like yesterday with a bit more cloudiness and maybe more damp.\u00a0\u00a0 Even if the sun wasn’t burning the sky and the heat wasn’t tightening my skin, it was kinda uncomfortable outdoors yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 Right on the edge where every movement brings sweating…<\/p>\n
So I did some stuff outside, more than I did the day before, and then called it quits and came in and read.\u00a0\u00a0 No chance of whinging on about not having time for what I need to do when I don’t use the time I am given.<\/p>\n
For reasons I’m not going to go into, this past week has been loaded up with stress, which was suddenly relieved, but I’m feeling some whiplash.\u00a0 Add to that today would have been my dad’s 90th birthday, and I’m feeling a bit out of sorts.\u00a0 It’s leaving me filled with a certain lassitude that isn’t helping things.<\/p>\n
Still, have to keep moving and push on through.<\/p>\n
This week I am UN-stacking things and piling them up to sell at the hamfest.\u00a0\u00a0 Do I need to be able to equip a neighborhood with 2 way radios?\u00a0\u00a0 Do I need to be able to equip more than one neighborhood?\u00a0 There is probably a reasonable limit to the stuff I really need to have on hand, and I’ve crossed it in some categories.\u00a0 Blister pack GPRS and FRS radios is one of those categories.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Motorola handie talkies is another.\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t program them, so do I need bins filled with them?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 I need radios I can program.\u00a0\u00a0 I can use the money to buy those radios, or to improve some other area of preps.<\/p>\n
It’s a bit like the guys who bought 22LR as “trade goods” or to “sell when the price goes up”.\u00a0\u00a0 Only they never do sell.\u00a0\u00a0 They never sell the cheap ARs or the Pelican cases of pistols they bought just to sell later either.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s far too easy to hold on to them, thinking the time isn’t right or that now that the drought has come, they need them more than they need to sell them.<\/p>\n
It’s and easy trap to fall into.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m hoping to sell far\u00a0 more this time than I normally would be ready to sell.<\/p>\n
Which will let me stack something else… or improve my position elsewhere.\u00a0 Which is ultimately the goal.<\/p>\n
