No Capacitor

 Today I did not ship the 2nd capacitor. Instead, I shipped everything else that needed to go out, and will ship the 2nd one tomorrow. This has got me hauling packages 5X this week instead of the usual 2X. 

I was up a bit after 2, and got out of here about 5. I made the run and found almost no packing materials and no veggies (except peppers which I already have) so I came home pretty light.

I checked the time and if H Mart closes at 8, well, it was almost 7 so I took off again for some shopping. I overshot my budget of $30, spending almost $40, but I'd found almost 2 lbs of sliced beef for $10/lb so I got that along with the other things. 

Coming back, it was getting pretty dark and there were, at two different places, scumsuckers on bikes lurking around. Scumsuckers tend to dress uniformly in dark, dull colors all infused with dirt and they never have lights on their bikes so they can really hide in the dusk. They seemed to have their own scumsucker business to be on, though, perhaps because they'd seen the "tunker stick" in my hand. 

I'd been very tired when I got up. Probably a combination of the bad air and my having done so much work. Because I thought Ken might come by and I wanted to get some things packed before Ebay flags them as needing to be packed in the next 24 hours, I packed those things. I ended up trying to practice at something like 4AM and it went so awful that I just quit. No sense in practicing playing badly. 

So when I got back here and had cooked up some scrambled eggs with cheese, hot sauce, and sour cream, I did a practice session. I didn't know if Ken was coming by tonight so I figured I'd better get it in while I can. And it went well, in fact maybe the best yet on the Irons exercises I'm doing. 

Then I cut up and weighed out the beef into 8 servings, so it came out to $2.50 per 3.90 oz. serving.

Cold and foggy Friday

 I woke up around 11, and even around noon it's foggy and dark.  I should mention that "dead internet theory", the theory that...
