Didn't really show a high chance of rain but it did rain just a bit. This afternoon while I was relaxing outside I felt just a light drizzle of rain. Didn't last long and was so light couldn't really see it. And tonight we really got the trace of rain. I could hear it falling on my sky light but I think it just barely got the concrete wet as it didn't last very long at all. Today was mostly cloudy. Surprised that we didn't get more rain. Temperature wise it was a nice day. I guess the cloud cover held the high temperature expected down. Still going to be warm for the next three days with a really high chance of rain on Sunday and it cools off a lot at least on Sunday and then it warms up again on Monday. Looks like moderate temperatures for the remainder of the forecast. Some decent chances of rain coming up but I will cover those as they get closer.

My outside temperature gauge shows about 70°F with 93% humidity. Kind of warm outside for this late at night. Officially it is 70°F with 93% humidity. So not bad.

Got an eBay delivery today but didn't order anything. I got my papyrus in today but haven't tried to print on it. Tomorrow I think I might get my transfer switch in but the tracking really isn't clear on that. Estimated delivery date is tomorrow though. That will leave me with just three outstanding items on eBay. I did order some more wood but that is going to be delivered tomorrow and is from Home Depot. My Museum of Natural Science Auction win is now scheduled to be delivered on Friday. Was suppose to make it tomorrow but a one day delay is no issue.

For housework I did vacuum one of my guess bedrooms. Kind of started on the kitchen with the dishes but didn't get very far. Still need to do that. I did get my soap cut up into bars and put up for the next three weeks to cure.

Nothing really much for project work. I moved a voltage gauge to a different light column and put it on charge. Also secured the connections on one of the battery management systems. Slowly but surely getting those all done. Have to wait on the splicers though to go too much further.

I did do some wood working today on my six sided box. Cut the pieces for the top and installed the splines in the corners to strengthen them. Made a partially successful felt installation on the bottom of the case after I had installed the bottom. That stuff is really sticky. Once it makes contact it doesn't want to move. Going to put the top together tomorrow and mostly finish the box. Think I will box it up and mail it off to Ashley along with a few other things. Not as polished as I was hoping but then it really is just a prototype to work out manufacturing details.

Gold made a pretty solid move back into $1700 an ounce territory. Crude regained some ground but is still below it 52 week high by a light bit.

Not really much in the way of viewing pleasure today. Just watched a few YouTube Videos. The Falcon 9 launch at 2:13 am tomorrow is still on and I might actually try to stay up and watch it. Or maybe not. Just have to see if I am still awake then.

Really need to start another HEB Delivery order but I am still good for a few more days.

Day two on my car registration and I guess they meant two full business days and not just parts of two days. Still working on processing my payment. I hope tomorrow it goes. I can print the receipt and start to drive mostly guilt free. Shouldn't get stopped. Have really until April 14th to take care of it. Gary said he got to stay in his car and get it inspected.

I did order some more poplar for box building. They had it by the box at one point. Maybe still do but I ordered it by the board.

Had a lot of machines pulled out in the shop today to work on my box. For such a simple looking item it does take a lot of tools. I have them all sorted and put away. Ready to put the car up but I haven't done that yet.

Today is March 10th. Days.

Only got one junk call today. Seem to get one pretty much at the same time every day.

No bills paid today or lap cats as of yet. Earlier this morning Twist did make a stop in my lap.

Probably put my recyclables bin out again this Friday along with the stuff for the scrap guy to see if he will pick them up this time. He has picked up a number of items I no longer needed.

Got my Dietz lamp lit in my office tonight and got a candle and my oil lamp night light lit in the kitchen. I ordered some more soy wax. Didn't have enough to finish all my candles. Think I will make these a different scent. Not sure what. Delivery is estimated to be this Friday. Should make it by Saturday.

Used my air fryer tonight to actually cook. No microwave.

Going to put the car up. Be right back. Got the car put up. Charged it last night so should be fully charged. I think they must have done a software upgrade because something appeared on the back up screen that I have never seen before. My bolt is under recall. Don't really think it will be fixed with a software updated. My lease ends in November and I will give back my bolt and with it I guess that problem with go with it. Right now I have it manually set not to recharge more than 90%.

Looks like the Falcon 9 launch is still on.

I think that is going to do it for tonight.
