Going to stay with the title although it was for an entry I intended to write last night but didn't. Didn't get any rain today but it was cloudy most of the day and at times looked like it could start raining at any time but didn't. Was a warm one today too as was yesterday. I finally had to turn on the air conditioning as it was starting to get miserable in the house. Left it on today and will leave it on for tomorrow and the next few days. Then will get a break and after that it will probably be solid air conditioning season. Looking at the forecast it shows a good chance for rain starting about 2:00 am tomorrow until about 3:00 am. Don't really see anything that looks like that on radar but that hasn't really meant much in the past. Don't really see any impressive chances for rain except for next Friday and that does have a respectable chance of rain. My outside temperature gauge says it is 76°F with 88% humidity. Can't exactly remember what night but I was out for a drive and it looked like the fog was starting to roll in. Dense in places. Officially the temperature is 75°F with 88% humidity. Don't see any mention of fog but some rain.

I was going to mail my quarterly Income Tax last night but didn't. I took care of that that today.

Don't think I got anything delivered yesterday but I got two items in today. I got my wood from Lowes and my AAA batteries from Ebay. Wasn't expecting them today. Did order a couple of more items today. I ordered some more vitamin D to resupply and some spade terminals for my project work. My Plant is suppose to be delivered on Sunday. Looking at tracking I don't see anything coming in tomorrow. Next week, especially early next week I should get a bunch of stuff. Always seem to be needing something and eBay will have it.

Paid TruGreen today on line for their fire ant treatment. Was noticing some activity this week so this is timely.

Gold and crude seem to be static at the moment. Neither seem to want to move much. Gold is holding just below midway in $1700 an ounce and crude is still way down from it recent high.

No junk calls today. I think I got four of them yesterday though. May have gotten one on my cell phone but I missed it. Been getting the Social Security Fraud scam calls. And the same ones I always seem to get.

Well, day two after my minor surgery. Very hard to reach the spot on my back but I have managed so far. Does itch somewhat but seems to be getting better. Have to keep it covered with petroleum jelly and a bandaid until time to get the stitches removed. Still, glad that is over and will be even more glad when I get the stitches out. Takes about five minutes from start to finish to have the stitches removed.

For housework today I vacuumed the hallway and did a load of dress shirts. Need to put those in the dryer and hang them up. Never really seem to do any concentrated house work. Should have done the dishes and ran the dishwasher though.

Did some more work on the Dresser today. Some more on the dust frames and a jig to cut the slots to hold the dust frames. I am making progress but still a long way to go. Probably spending more time in the shop than I meant to. I also cut out me a new push stick. My old one was mostly eaten away by the blade. It only takes about five minutes to make a new one.

Just wired in a new DC/DC step down on one of my power distributor boxes. I can have a different voltage level out of it now. Remounted one of my Raspberry Pi's to make it a little more usable in my light sequencer. Just little stuff. As soon as I have to shut down the shop project work is about all I am going to have along with housework.

Today's viewing pleasure was YouTube videos. Always a good selection of those to watch. Mostly when I am eating.

Was hoping to get my truck's registration sticker in today but it didn't make it. Hopefully tomorrow and I can put it on and put that anxiety to rest. I am guessing that the check engine light was due to my gas cap. Since replacing that it hasn't come back on. Can just imagine what the dealership would have charged me for a new gas cap. Need to add the remainder of my Generator fuel to the truck too. After it is legal I can drive it outside of the neighborhood and not feel paranoid about being stopped.

Don't see much watchable as far as launched go until the 22nd when another Falcon 9 will launch on a crewed mission.

Got to send in my IRA contribution. With the change in the due date I still a have plenty of time. May 17th. Printed out the form. Going to contribute the maximum amount allowed by the IRS. I think since I am no longer employed this is the last year I will be able to do that.

Today is April 9th. Days. Was very windy today. I think all the leaves and fallen now and the seed has all fallen too. Next week I need to call about getting my gutters cleaned. Just don't care to do that myself anymore.

Finished listening to two of Ashley's podcast.

Text Gary and Ashley.

I haven't gotten paid yet. Looks like it is going to be late this month.

Kind of tired tonight. Not unusual.

Need to put the car up and put it on charge tonight. The shop has already been sorted out. Hopefully tomorrow I can actually start putting together pieces of the dresser outside of the dust frames.

Need to seriously work on my HEB delivery order and get it ready to release. Probably going to make it longer than two weeks this time since my last order was so big. Need to be careful. Almost couldn't fit all of my frozen food into my storage.

No lap cats today. Fozzy snuggle with me most of last night and Twist did this morning.

Both of the cats are sleeping on top of boxes in my closet. There are much more comfortable places for them to sleep.

Put out my recyclables bin tonight. Not really full but enough to put it out. Got a number of cardboard boxes. No trash bin tonight. Not nearly enough in that.

I think that is going to do it for tonight.
