For some reason I woke up at 4am and didn’t go back to sleep. But damn I got a lot done. It started off with a trip up to top off the Xterra and get 10 gallons of gas. While I was there I exchanged a propane cylinder so I think I have 5 full and 2 half full. I decided to forgo the generator testing. I know it’ll work if needed. And that should wrap up my energy gathering prior to the cold snap moving in tomorrow night.

We also went food gathering this morning. I mean we were at the super Walmart at like 6:30am. The only other people shopping were the employees. We bought a ton, well $180 worth of food. But that’s 5lbs of ground beef, lasagna for 8, 2lbs of lunch meat, and frozen fruit. So we’re all set for the next couple of weeks with just jaunts for small stuff. Hopefully we’ll still be getting deliveries over the cold snap but it it rains at all for the next 10 days and freezes overnight you may as well call it a day. The roads shut down and even tire chains would be questionable. Speaking of which we need to get some of those for the truck.

After that I shuffled off to men’s breakfast at church. It was good to see Adrian and Mike there. I’ve been going to that long enough that I can hold my own in a conversation with most of the folks there.

Then I got home and knocked out the crowning achievement of the day which was to knock out the garage. Now we have the truck parked in the west bay, Sandy’s car in the east bay and the Xterra in front of the truck. I still have enough room and it looks great. Now I can work on getting the truck back to showroom now that it’s hangered.
