Cool and clear, warmer laterly….\u00a0 it started clear but turned overcast with a bit of light rain and some scattered showers.\u00a0\u00a0 It cleared later, but not clear enough for good observation.<\/p>\n
Spent the day doing plumbing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The dang things fought me all day, culminating in a 2 hour round trip to get 2 adapters.\u00a0\u00a0 On the plus side, I drove through some areas that were just carpeted with bluebonnets.\u00a0 Beautiful.<\/p>\n
Decided to push on through when I got home, despite most of the day being gone, but I really wanted to make some progress.\u00a0 And once I cut the lines, I was committed to getting enough done to get the water back on.\u00a0\u00a0 I finally was satisfied it wouldn’t leak all over the place at about 10 pm.\u00a0\u00a0 Long day.<\/p>\n
Today I’ll finish the plumbing.\u00a0\u00a0 If everything goes well, I should be able to decommission all of the old copper before leaving today.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of it will be going home with me to the scrapyard.\u00a0 I made $57 on the last bunch of faucets and copper tube…\u00a0\u00a0 There was some steel and aluminum mixed in, but it was mostly plumbing stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t imagine anyone recycling pex in 50 years.<\/p>\n
Didn’t do a fire last night, just went to bed. It was so late when I finished that I didn’t have the energy to lay a fire and sit out.\u00a0\u00a0 It was hot enough in the attic in my coveralls that I was about worn out…<\/p>\n
I did get some of the food I brought up with me stacked.\u00a0 I have a lot of canned peas for some reason.\u00a0\u00a0 I will have to bring something for balance later.\u00a0\u00a0 Still, it’s nice to see the cabinets filling up.<\/p>\n
Big stacks are good, but some stacks are best.\u00a0\u00a0 Do what you can with what you have.<\/p>\n
