Today had a good chance of rain and it looked like on the radar the state was getting plenty of rain but we just weren't fortunate enough to be under some of it. The yard is starting to look a little wilted so we could use a good shower. The forecast for tomorrow has a good chance of rain about the same as the one we had for today. Just have to wait and see if we get any rain. Rain chances starting to pick up about sunrise. Oddly enough there is a good chance of rain around 11:00. Does look like some kind of lite shower is heading this way. I guess they thing it will make it. My outside temperature gauge says it is a warm 88°F outside with 62% humidity. Kind of warm and a little drier outside tonight. The airport reports it is 85°F with 72% humidity.

Got three junk calls today. Have to assume two of them were junk calls also because they were blank. Asked to be put on the do not call list on the one.

A little heart burn tonight. Took a famotidine. Seems to be working.

Didn't get anything in today. Did order another clock though. Basically finished this one except for the fine tuning and getting it to run. Think I am going to postpone that until I have a lot more patience and don't feel as depressed and as anxious as I did today.

Today was a bad day. Felt depress and anxious all day. As usual just ready to put this one in the books and try again tomorrow.

Didn't do any housework today. Hard to do with the mood I was in. Did work on the clock as it seems I could do that. Going to put it aside though. Have to find something to do tomorrow. Did open my aluminum axels and test fit them through the wheels. They fit fine. Need to enlarge the wheel well holes just a bit. The fit is just too tight.

No project work today at all.

I think todays incense burn was Dragon's Blood.

No bills paid today.

Twist did take over my lap for a time while I was working on the clock. Let him stay as long as I could until my legs gave out.

Gold is holding on to $1800 an ounce. Crude feel back a bit today.

Really need to get my HEB delivery order out tonight for Wednesday delivery. Just about out of everything. Working on it now.

Never got the car out. Not going out for a drive.

Still didn't get the sticker in for my Z. Hopefully I will get it this week and can to a start run and drive on it.

Got a launch I can watch tomorrow. At about 12:30 our time. Will watch it curtesy of the Everyday Astronaut.

Feeling more depressed now. Afraid it is going to be a long night. Got to finish my order though.

Todays viewing pleasure was YouTube Videos, more episodes of the Flash and Part of my Netflix movie.

I think that is going to do it for this entry.
Still might be raining a little outside but I can't hear anything hitting my skylight. Got a decent rain tonight. I will have to check my rain gauge tomorrow and report tomorrow night how much we got. We were lucky enough to be under one of those localized thundershowers. Looked like plenty of them about but none passed over us until late this afternoon. The grass was beginning to wilt a little from the sun and lack of rain. This should help. Might just make it all summer without having to water the lawn. Rain chance based on the latest forecast don't pick up again until Friday but seems to always be the chance of a sea breeze thundershower. We didn't get any of the thunder and lightening with this one though. My outside temperature gauge reports that it about 83°F with 86% humidity. According to the official temperature at the airport it is 80 °F with 87% humidity. Temperatures don't look too bad. Maybe average or just below average for this time of year.

Got one delivery today. Got my glass mirror pieces in from eBay. Looking at tracking I might get one more item in tomorrow. Didn't order anything else today. Actually looking like I might clear all of my orders for the first time in quite awhile. Does happen.

No lap cat today. Or bills paid. This morning's incense burn was cinnamon.

Got three junk calls today. One blank. One just played music. Asked to be put on the do not call list.

Started an inquiry on ordering my new Bolt EUV. I want to time its arrival at the same time I have to turn in my Bolt EV. Got to have enough lead time to see that happen.

Viewing pleasure today was about the same as always. YouTube videos. More of my Netflix movie and more episodes of the Flash.

Gold is holding on to $1800 an ounce. Crude feel back more today. Backing further away from its 52 week high. Still it is more than double its 52 week low. So it has more than doubled in price in the last year.

For housework today. I did kitchen duty and moved all of my project work out of the kitchen to my mad scientist table. Look better that way and I really do want to keep my project work out of my kitchen.

For project work I modified my clock/Light chaser so I could hot swap batteries. I don't want to be continuously resetting the clock every time I chance batteries. Also started to make another sort of left over item into another emergency light. Using a test LED panel for the lights and a motor controller to vary the voltage. Not sure if it will work but I am going to try it. The internet seems to think it will work. I will test it tomorrow.

No wood working except to support my project work.

Released my HEB Delivery order. It will be here between 2:00 and 3:00 pm tomorrow.

The rocket didn't launch today. Postponed for ten days. Next closes watchable launch is Falcon 9 Star link in 5 days.

Feeling better tonight. Still just depressed more than I like to be. Was kind of overwhelmed with a feeling of hopelessness after dinner tonight. Seems to always happen then.

Didn't sleep at all well last night but I did seem to have a sort of good dream. Really rare but occasionally I do. Most unwanted dreams about work or being in school.

Got to put up the car tonight. The shop is mostly sorted so pretty much just have to drive the car in. Might go out for a bit of a drive tonight. Check the gas prices and whatnot. Haven't been out in a few days.

Still no sticker in the mail for my car. Checked on it and it should be in tomorrow or might be mixed in with the mail I got tonight. Didn't really check it. Then I can test out my home made car air conditioner and maybe go out for a drive. Might upgrade to a bigger fan and use the car as the 12 volt power supply.

Since it is so much bigger really need to neck down the fan to fit. A funnel would be just perfect for that so I ordered a set of four. The largest at five inches will be just perfect. Can trim the bottom to fit. Could make one but far less trouble to use something ready made that will work with minimum fuss.

Got just tonight to decided if I need to add items to my HEB Delivery order. Did add a few more items to my order.

Got to put up the car. Might go for a short drive.

I think that is going to do it for this entry.
