Previously…

Today’s recap

Took Sunday off and spent the day just doing prep for the following week. I did my normal chores, plus started making overnight oats for the week. I don’t know why I stopped doing this a couple years ago. Now that I’m aware of my food allergies I guess I’m back to eating oatmeal more often.

I spent almost all of today working on my truck load out for the season. My wife got me a new organizer for Xmas and now is the time to get things… Organized. I went through everything in the cab of the truck and then wrote up a list of what I have and what I need to add. Most items I have already and just need to either add to the truck or organize under the new system. I have a small group of items I will need to purchase, mostly truck maintenance items. I will pick those up as I go throughout the end of Winter and into Spring.

Othewise I’ve been avoiding using a computer and spending more time outside or with the family.

I did coordinate with my future son-in-law to get the car he drives officially sold to him so then he can do what he wants with it. When he moved up here from AZ I let him use a small commuter car I used before switching to a landscape contractor. He’s now had it for 3 years. Its definitely time the car just becomes his. After this one I need to do the same with my oldests car.

We watched WWE Monday Night Raw and the Wrestlemania stories are starting. In the second half of the show the littlest gorl and I went upstairs where I worked on my VEDC list and she watched some YouTube. We both watch WWE, but sometimes its a lot. With Smackdown on Friday, then the Rumble on Saturday, and now Raw tonight, its a lot for casual fans. My wife, older gorl, and the boy all love wrestling, so they are happy. Some of us just need a break occasionally.

Dinner and then get the gorls ready for bed. For the last 3-4 nights we’ve been watching game fails before they go to bed. I don’t know how I’m gonna break this habit.

We are onto Dabangg 3 and should call it an early night. I doubt that.

Projects

As I worked through my vehicle prepper scenarios I got my official list together. If you are into that sort of thing I published the list here.

I don’t drive a full size truck. So, finding space for all this and everything I need for work has been an organization challenge. I’m feeling pretty good. Now to keep my brother out of it. The man is exactly opposite of me for organization skills. Him just being in arms reach of it will probably destroy my system.

Daily gratitude

• My future son-in-law is a pretty good guy and is different from most young people. He actually called the Dept. of Licensing on his break to prep for the vehicle sale!
• This new VEDC organizing kit is awesome.
• Saw our new neighbor and I like the guy already. He saw me and waved, but didn’t chat, the best kind of neighbor.

Tomorrow’s big thing(s)

Monthly backup day. I can’t believe its already been a month.

Fucking smoke alarm just chirped.
