I was picking up trash on the land we just bought and picked up a .45 casing to find a very small toad living in it.

Nef.

Did a lot of running around and misc stuff today but feels like I did nothing lol. Bought cat food, dropped off empty wine bottles at the beer store, moved my ladder to outside of shed (install hooks etc) and cleaned my gutters real quick. Only a few spots were bad but it was causing a clog. Also found a spot that will need to be fixed since the water is going the wrong way. Either need to add a downspout on that spot or lift the gutter more.

With the ladder out of the way, which was really the main goal today, now I can start on setting up the solar system properly. I was going to wall mount everything but last minute decided maybe I should just make a cabinet under the shelves as it will be better tucked away instead of taking up wall space. Might start on this evening or at least come up with a quick design.

Oh man last night was brutal trying to fall asleep, don't know why. Being on cpap probably does not help, it's an extra discomfort that makes it harder to fall asleep in general. I ended up popping 2 melatonins at like 3am and that helped.

The one thing I find now that I'm stuck on cpap is I get up earlier though, since I just want to take the dang thing off so instead of just staying in bed I look forward to getting out. Some nights I just take it off and go back to bed though.

Today I learned that mountain lions look pretty big when they are only twenty feet away, pretty though.

My corporate stock has been climbing. My total cash at current stock price is sitting at 57k. :eek: I want to cash before end of year so I can get a gauge of how hard of a hit I take on capital gains, so I can take out more next year. I think I will wait another month or two to see how much it climbs. I will take out like 20-25 grand and give like 2-3 grand to various charities. Hoping I don't get hit too much with capital gains. After I get my taxes done if I did not take too bad of a hit, I will take out more. I've never racked up this much cash in my ESP before it's actually pretty crazy even seeing that huge balance. I don't think I've ever seen such a large balance on any account that I own. Before I bought my house I had a lot of money saved up but it was more like 30 grand if I recall.

Got in my car this morning. Saw some paper on the drivers floor mat. Went to throw it out of the car. Turns out it was a joint. Must have stuck to my shoe and came off in my car. I thought, what if a cop had pulled me over for something innocuous and found that in the floor board. No, it's not legal here yet.

Officer: Is this yours?
Boxes: But, but... I don't know HOW that got in here!
Officer: Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre. You hold tight.
