Cooler, but still damp.\u00a0\u00a0 Rain later?\u00a0 Dunno.\u00a0 And neither does anyone else!\u00a0 But we pretend because it gives us a feeling of control.\u00a0\u00a0 I do think we might get a smattering.\u00a0\u00a0 We’re in the zone for it nationally.\u00a0\u00a0 I never saw any moisture from the sky yesterday, but the clouds around here suggested that someone in Houston did.\u00a0 I just had a nice day, shirtsleeves weather, with some clouds but mostly blue sky.\u00a0\u00a0 And I drove all the way across Houston to Baytown, so I really saw both sides of town too.\u00a0 Didn’t get too far south or too far north, which is where the weather really changes.<\/p>\n

I did one pickup on the east side.\u00a0 Then I dropped some stuff at my secondary location, and stopped by my selling auctioneer.\u00a0\u00a0 He still can’t take more of my stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 I really might have to try another seller again to move some of it.<\/p>\n

I ordered stuff for\u00a0 my client’s place.\u00a0 Besides the point to point wireless ethernet link, he pulled the trigger on a new network video recorder for the cams.\u00a0 It won’t be in until some time next week but I’ll head to the house on Friday to do the P to P link and get ready for the NVR.\u00a0\u00a0 I was going today, but have kid stuff in the early afternoon that would cut short my work time.<\/p>\n

I’ve still got a list of stuff to do around the house this week, as the week rapidly disappears into the past.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I feel like Paula Abdul this week.*<\/p>\n

So today I have some pickups south of town that I have to get a jump on early.\u00a0\u00a0 Not too early, as they don’t even open until 10am, but earlier than my normal ‘leave the house at 1 or 2 pm.’\u00a0\u00a0 Until then it’s auction stuff, cleanup and put away, and maybe a maintenance item if I’m really motivated.\u00a0 Need to do the ‘small’ grocery trip too.<\/p>\n

Yep, I’m a slacker.\u00a0\u00a0 Been slack.\u00a0 Am slack, will be slack.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean YOU can’t stack some stuff…<\/p>\n
