Plenty of sunshine today but no rain.
May. 8th, 2021 12:03 amAnother relatively nice day in May although it did warm up a bit today but the humidity was really low. My gauge showed it was just 25% humidity outside. Unusually dry for here. Kind of actually felt cool because of the very low humidity. One of those rare days where an evaporative cooler would have worked here. Looks like the rain chances for next Tuesday and Wednesday have gone way up. Things change and it is the weather and also subject to swings. Might be good because parts of the backyard are showing signs of turning brown even with the recent heavy rains that we got. And the temperature might make one last dip into the 70's before it gets really warm. Monday is already showing to be in the 90's.
Just about ready for this one to be in the books. Kind of tired and bit worn out.
Didn't get any junk calls today. And checking this morning it is not a premium channel free preview weekend. Kind of infrequent now.
Got the shop sorted and went for a decently long drive tonight. Originally just started out to mail my income tax and get that taken care of. One less thing to worry about. I decided to drive around just a bit more before coming home.
Finally just decided to order my Laser projector, splurge and treat myself. Not sure why other than I wanted it. Don't really watch that much TV any more. Maybe I will after I get this. My old projector was nice but one of the shortcomings of projectors is that they almost always have to be behind you. Kind of inconvenient. This projector can set really close to the screen. Makes it a lot easier to use. I guess outside of leasing my car I can't think of anything really in the last 20 years or so that I have bought something this expensive. Bought other items kind of more or less on a whim that were expensive but really nothing like this. Just kind of thought it would be nice and something I could enjoy.
Today was an eBay day. Got one item in and it was my snack food. Just about out. Good timing to get here now. Probably have about three days of supply left. Nothing else came in. Only ordered my laser projector. And that might not be in until the end of may. I have three items on order in eBay, my Gold Back and my 10 pack of wood. Don't really know when any of that is coming in. Might get an eBay item in tomorrow. Tracking kind of looks promising.
Twist was tonight's lap cat. Kind of nice. He just settles right in and curls up and goes to sleep. Nice to have an affectionate cat and a trusting one. Just tugs at my heart anytime I see a kitty outside. They all should have a loving home. I try to give mine that.
For housework today I put up the dishes from the dishwasher. Can't think of anything else.
For project work I cut out mounts for the servos. Think I have finally figured out a way to mount them. They really aren't built with that in mind or I am really missing something. Just will take a little extra work and then I can play with them.
Woodworking was kind of minimal today. Turned a leg which turned out to be the wrong size. So I glued up another blank. Might turn that tomorrow. Then will still have one more leg to turn. Oh, yes. I am still waiting on my router bits from Rockler. Sure have ordered just a lot of items here recently. I need the bits to work on my chair and my radio project. Got everything in the shop sorted and the car is put up but I don't have it on charge.
Got the recycle bin out on the porch. Might put it out tomorrow. Need to add a few more items.
Gold has made a good move and is close to half way into $1800 an ounce. Really rapid rise here in the last few days. Don't know what is driving it. Crude fell back some today.
May 7th. Days.
Falcon 9 still scheduled for the 9th. launching a lot and make it look so easy.
Mosquitos are really out. Hope they spray soon.
Nice to have all my hand tools in one place.
Nothing new on the Ashley podcast front. Don't know when the next full moon is. Will have to check.
Should do some more work on my HEB delivery order. Things seem to regularly disappear. Things move in and out of stock.
Need to finish the pins in my mirror frame.
No bills paid today.
Heard the fireworks from the ballpark tonight. Guess every Friday night that they have a home game I will be hearing them.
My outside temperature gauge says it is 69°F with 73% humidity. For the official reading looking at the airport gauge it is 69° with 79% humidity.
I think that is going to do it for tonight.
