Was pretty much cloudy all day and it looked like it might rain but it never did. Was a bit more humid but not too bad as far as the temperature. Spent a good part of today in the shop and managed not to change to a short sleeve t-shirt. Right now my outside temperature gauge says it is 77°F with 89% humidity. Not a dry night out tonight. Officially it is 77°F with 88% humidity. Got my air conditioner on and it will probably stay on until fall arrives. Well might have a few more nights and mornings where I have to run the heater but those are going to be a memory soon. Summer is on the way. I already see a 90°F in the forecast. Got to get my shop work done because that will just be too hot to be in the shop.

Did get one item in today from eBay. Got my reserveritol. Didn't order anything though. Right now I still have my oak boards, poplar and my gold backs outstanding. Well, also my candy. So that is four things. Getting close again to not having anything on order. Finishing my dresser will slow down my orders. Thinking my next project is going to be a radio. Probably have enough scrap I think I can cobble together to make it. Just make it from leftover pieces. I do have veneer that I can cover it with. Only be a small project and use a Raspberry Pi 0 to make it work.

Just finished my HEB delivery order and released it for a Thursday at 2:00 pm delivery. Last time they were late. Might be raining this time but so far have been lucky to avoid that. Just about out of everything and really need to restock.

Falcon 9 Star Link Mission scheduled for about 11:00 am our time tomorrow. Going to try to remember to watch.

Last night was the full moon. Thought tonight was but too cloudy to see it tonight. Probably still plenty full tonight if I can see it. Will check when I go out to put up the car.

Did just a bit of project work today. I finished the installation of the new solar charge controller. Now have it connected to the new battery rack and the solar panels. Using three panels in series to provide power to the controller. It can take up to 100 volt input and will charge my LiFePO4 batteries. I have it set to that cycle. Too cloudy to charge much today.

Got the car put up. Didn't go out for a drive.

Put the new bedspread into the washing machine. Suppose to wash it before first use. Got it in the dryer. Should have put up the dishes but I haven't. I also cleaned up the shop some. That is about all the housework I did. Also vacuumed up the remnants from installing my new solar charge controller.

For woodworking I finished a fourth drawer and did some work on the remaining ones. Basically I am out of material to finish. I could have cut the panels but decided to wait until more material gets in. Also stained the other end panel. Tomorrow I think I am going to mount the top and start on the mirror. Going to use my last rough cut oak plank. Just going to cut about 3 feet off of it to make the mirror frame. Got to get the planer out to do that.

Twist was a short term lap cat.

Got one junk call and actually three annoying ones. A new class of phone calls.

Gold is still holding close to the upper quarter of $1700 an ounce. Crude fell back just a little. Still holding kind of steady.

Paid an online bill today. My internet/TV bill. My phone bill is paid automatically.

Tired as usual tonight.

I think that is going to do it for tonight.
