Three days now total free of rain.
Aug. 23rd, 2021 08:10 pmNot at all surprised really that the trend is continuing to be rain free. Had essentially a zero chance of rain today but I did see several isolated showers on radar. Some of them not far away at all. Tomorrow is probably going to be the same as today. Still very warm and dry as far as rain. Still plenty of humidity. Looks like the rain chances start to move back in on Wednesday and it starts to cool off. Not much at all on Wednesday but the rain chance goes up considerable on Thursday. Would be nice to get a show so I don't have to water my new grass. Looking at decent chance for rain after that. Right now looking at my outside temperature gauge it says it is 86°F with 74% humidity. No official of course for that we have to check in with the airport. There it shows to be 84°F with 79% humidity. Haven't had just a lot of agreement lately since I changed the location of my outside sensor. Did a little bit in the shop today. Some cleaning and some project support work. Was sweating pretty early. Move the car off of the cover and sort of washed that. Outside drying at the moment.
I made an effort to remember the incense I burned today. I do think it was jasmine. The house always feels better after.
Didn't see the full moon last night. Was a clear night. Have to check again tonight. It should have been just overhead but I didn't really check.
No bills paid today and got three junk calls. Maybe one of them was a scam call.
No lap cat today. Been missing Fozzy but he seems to go in cycles these days. Maybe two or three days in a row and then he will skip several days. Twist did snuggle with me while I was taking a nap. Nice to have two cats that will do that.
Got my after meal snacks in today. The last batch got lost in the mail Glad to get these. That was all I got. Made an impulse buy of a Dietz style LED lamp. Just looked like it would be cool and actually cheaper than the kerosene version. I also ordered more soap making supplies. Not going to have enough to make another batch. I am out of hand soap but thought I would first make a batch of bath soap because I can use that for hand soap but really not the other way around. As soon as my supplies get in I will make some hand soap. Got the fixed oils mixed and the mold ready. Still have to mix the saponification agent. Then mix, pour, cut and wait three weeks.
So I now have items coming in from eBay, Lehman's, Woodtrick and Best Buy. Might get the Best Buy item in tomorrow. It is my Raspberry Pi 4. Seems like I recall something about it coming in tomorrow.
Started off feeling the usual morning depression and again pretty bad this evening. Nothing really to trigger it or solid reason just my brain chemistry going haywire. Sometimes just the littlest thing can cause it. Did have an eye appointment for tomorrow but cancelled. Going to wait about another month and try again. Anxiety.
For housework today I did my kitchen duty, cleans up one of the cats litter box areas and vacuumed my office. And I changed out the feral cats' water. Don't know if any of them still drink from it but I still keep it out. Just really tugs at my heart. Got a load of whites in the washing machine. Really need to run my dishwasher too. Moved my radio project out of the guess bedroom back to the mad scientist table.
I trimmed up one of the tent pole extenders and epoxied in the alignment pin. Still have one more to do. Much cheaper than buying a longer set of tent poles. Not much wood working.
Mounted the 5 volt power supply to the binary clock component board. Decided I would just power it with a 24 volt power supply and use that to directly power the marked LEDs. The 5 volt will power the Raspberry pi.
For viewing pleasure tonight I split about 50/50 between The Manifest and my new Netflix series. Of course multiple Youtube videos are in there too. The premium channel free preview weekend may still be going on. Sometimes it extends into Monday. Haven't checked.
Had my slice of cake for desert for both lunch and diner tonight. Quite a treat. Probably going to release another HEB delivery order for early next week. A bit earlier than usual and lately. Seems I left out a number of items I usually order.
Now have Fozzy as a lap cat. He has saber tooth tiger teeth. Very sweet kitty though.

Gold made it back into $1800 an ounce. Crude recovered just a bit. Still below twice its 52 week low. Didn't see any change in gas prices in my last drive.
Car is out but just have to put it up. Garage is already sorted. Will put it up in just a bit.
Landscaper finished today. Yard is going to look better as soon as the new grass settles in. Watered it today. Will tomorrow and probably Wednesday too. Still really need a few places fixed. Maybe later.
The lawn company didn't come today.
New Sheppard launch. Next watchable one.
Tired tonight. I think I actually did a good bit tonight but never to get everything done that I have planned. Ready to put another one in the books.
I think that is going to do it for tonight.
