Tuesday August 8th 2023

The excessive heat warning continued today. There was a little more wind than yesterday. This made outside activity a little more tolerable if you stayed out of the direct sunshine. I didn’t hear the official high temperature for the day, but it was probably similar to yesterday’s 98 degrees.

I got a late start the day which is unfortunate. The outside chores that I need to get accomplished can really only be done in the morning before it gets hot. I got a couple of the simple ones like dumping the tanks accomplished, but anything that is going to take an extended period of time is still on the to do list. Let’s see if I can get up early tomorrow. I refuse to set an alarm.

My activities today were scrambled by Amazon. I had a delivery scheduled for today and I don’t like to have the boxes sitting outside for a long period of time. I am a little suspicious about the security around here right now. While there are lots of cameras, there isn’t any access control preventing people from just driving in and wandering around. The other problem with leaving packages outside is the probability that they would get very wet with and unexpected storm or two.
