Hot and humid, some chance of rain in Houston.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll be in the Northwestern Houston area, so I’m hoping for microclimate effects.\u00a0\u00a0 Overcast would be nice as I’m working outside.<\/p>\n
Wrapped up at the BOL yesterday evening and came home.<\/p>\n
Got a lot done, including cutting up the tree that fell.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a big old oak, and about 16ft is still laying on the ground.\u00a0 Tree guy can deal with that, my saw isn’t really big enough.\u00a0 One of my neighbors volunteered to drag it to his burn pile with a tractor if I cut it up, but then he found out it was 16ft long…<\/p>\n
I moved some seasoned firewood from the top of the hill to the bottom, and restacked it near our fire ring.\u00a0\u00a0 I stacked the newly cut oak where the split wood was stored.\u00a0 It’s a little bit easier to steal the split and seasoned wood where it’s stacked now, but I’m not going to sweat that until\/unless it starts disappearing.\u00a0 I cut the new logs shorter so they’d fit better in a wood stove.\u00a0\u00a0 Eventually I’ll get one installed somewhere.<\/p>\n
I also planted two more berry bushes to replace all the ones that didn’t thrive. Of six, only one was still alive.\u00a0\u00a0 Some leftover seed potatoes went into the ground too.\u00a0 Might as well.<\/p>\n
Wife did more flooring in the closets, and general bits and pieces.\u00a0\u00a0 We also spent several hours playing board games.\u00a0\u00a0 Kid watched movies, Clue, Blues Brothers, Jumanji (new one)- all movies she’s seen and loves.<\/p>\n
Today I’ve got to head out to my client’s.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s decided that now that he has enough bandwidth for streaming he’s getting rid of Directv.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Since I put the cell booster antenna on the same mast as the Directv dish, and since that came down when the roofers were working this weekend, I’ll need to put up an new mount for the antenna.\u00a0\u00a0 I want to do that before it gets hot…<\/p>\n
And then I need to fix my cabling mistake.\u00a0 Oy.\u00a0\u00a0 What a maroon.\u00a0 We do it right, ‘cuz we do it twice!<\/p>\n
I’ve got to get work knocked out early, so I can get home in time to do my ‘volunteer’ position at the swim meet tonight.\u00a0\u00a0 Don’t know what a “starter” does, but I’m guessing that it was still open for ‘volunteering’ because it sucks relative to the other jobs.\u00a0 I’m really hoping it’s not what I think it is.<\/p>\n
It’s a great life if you don’t falter.<\/p>\n
Stack it up!<\/p>\n
