Huh... When it rains, I consider my car washed. No thought or effort required.

There's a hawk outside making lots of noise. I want to see the hawk, but don't want to go outside. I don't understand why it can't perform for me on the back patio :^/

I used to carry lots of spares camping, but that was more because I smoked. There's nothing more enraging than having everything for a cigarette, but your lighter died, or won't work. My main lighter was a zippo, and I also had a butane and matches as backups in a secure location. When paddling, I'd pre roll a half dozen cigarettes or so, and put them and a mini bic into a spice bottle that I installed a gasket in. I also usually had another in my dry bag

We're camping "light" this weekend so, All of my backups are at home.

Horrible air quality here in Portland,OR.

(It's because of the smoke from the Eagle Creek fire up in the Columbia River Gorge....)

To make things worse..it's 70 degrees F already outside at 6:40 AM.

I realized that since I got cancer I haven't been updating my clothing & got rid of most of my rags ( seriously I looked like a bum :( Ordered new things from Amazon including shoes, everything fit beautifully except for one shirt. I will tuck it away for my daughter.

Having some new things though..feels wonderful & all tops are easily chemo port accessible & work appropriate:)

Went to town to hit a few stores, and forgot to get sugar for the hummingbirds. That was one of my main motivations for leaving the house in the first place :^S

My UHD television that I use as a monitor for my PC got High Dynamic Range in a firmware update, but now I can't output 4k 10bit @ 60hz in RGB 4.4.4. because the HDMI 2.2 spec doesn't have enough bandwidth. :(
