Could get rain tomorrow but none today.
Jan. 20th, 2021 11:05 pmShows to be l00 percent humidity. When I was outside just a little while ago I could see the fog beginning to form. Might be a really foggy start to the morning. Already a bit outside. Tomorrow shows a relatively high chance of rain starting about noon or so and it looks like it is going to last all day and into the next. In fact the rain chance stays at an elevated percent well into Monday. The day time high temperature look just unbelievably mild. And into next month too. Going to mean a lot of shop time. My outdoor temperature gauge shows about 61°F. Officially 60°F. The humidity on my gauge only goes to 99% so I just assume that to mean it is 100%. Since there is fog it goes for that.
Took my tent down and discovered I had two split fiberglass poles. Don't want to deal with trying to glue those back together so with much searching on eBay I think I have found replacement aluminum poles. Looks to be just about the right length. Costing more than just another tent though. But I thought I would just try them. Didn't really want to just throw the tent away although it would have been cheaper than buying replacement poles. These are aluminum so shouldn't have a problem with them splitting and hopefully they are good quality. I will find out.
My eBay bill is already going to be high this week. And today was an eBay day both ways. I got two packages in. One I know was the replacement batteries for my camera but I don't know what the second item was. Don't see anything on eBay saying it was delivered. I suspect I know what it is but I haven't opened it yet.
I lit some sparklers to celebrate today. Might light a couple more when I go to put the car up. I have already sorted out the shop and it is ready to put the car up. Was in a little more state of disorganization that usual. Actually did just a bit of organizing today. Not much. Put some wood in the scrap bin and put my jig saw back in its box and put it on the shelf.
Nothing really in the way of housework today. Did just a touch of mopping to remove some spots on the floor. Nothing else really.
Was going to start on some project work but once I looked at the project I was going to do I noticed it was wired a bit different and more convoluted than I remember. Going to take a bit more time than I wanted to spend just then. Plus the HEB Delivery came today. A bit later than usual. Usually here at time plus 10 seconds. Still they were well within their delivery window. Had a bit more substitutions this time than normal but they were well thought out and not just pulled like has happened in the past. Appreciate that.
I stayed up late enough last night to watch the watch of the Electron. They also make it look so easy. Didn't know if it was going to go because of the high winds but they did launch. Always fun to watch it go live. Makes a lot of noise. Didn't make it up in time to watch the launch of the Falcon 9. I was about 15 minutes too late. So I watched the replay of it. Just the same picture but just different knowing it is live. Next launch is another Falcon 9 on the 22nd.
Temperature is going back up. I guess maybe the water condensing to become fog is raising the temperature. Don't really know.
Just stayed with more episodes of the Flash tonight for my viewing pleasure. Plus a number of YouTube videos. Always watch some of those. Might have been an episode of Nova on tonight. Don't know.
Got one junk call today. Twist made a nice long stay as a lap cat today. Fozzy wanted to but it was occupied.
Gold moved up into the upper quarter of $1800 an ounce to trade. Crude is staying up and not really that far from its recent high. Probably going to tie the year high in the not to distant future.
Didn't really get close to what I wanted to get done in the shop today. The HEB delivery did take up a good chuck of shop time. Still I figured out how to raise the small panels that I knew were going to give me trouble and got one of them about three quarters done. Set up to do the other one tomorrow and shouldn't take too long to finish those. Then I want to start on the drawer supports. Don't want to finish the assemble of the end panels until I do the finishing on the raised panels. Easier to do before. I am not sure what I am going to stain them. If I like the darker Danish oil I will use that. Decided to discontinue a science project. Kind of made myself a somewhat promise not to do those anymore.
Still have to go put up the car. Think I will do that now and light a sparkler again. Got the car put up and did enjoy a couple more sparklers.
Dense fog advisory For the county next to ours. Probably includes ours too but I didn't look. Was just outside and the fog is just visible. Don't have the car on charge. Paid another paperless bill today. Haven't got a paper bill in a while. Beginning to think I have them all converted except for the lawn company. They didn't come this week.
Still need to listen to Ashley's podcast. Should listen a little more tonight.
I think that is going to do it for tonight.
