Rained on

 172nd day sober. Yesterday was a busy one. I not only made those two trips with the bike trailer to "harvest" those jars of vermicelli, but I had to swap out the spaghetti I had stored, and organized the jars of vermicelli into boxes that stack nicely. Plus I used a large piece of cardboard as a sort of mat under my folding futon to protect it from the carpet, and I'd found a nice large appliance box and needed to get that back here, trim it down a bit, cut up the old piece of cardboard and since I'd gotten it as well as this new one at the HVAC place, drop off the pieces at the HVAC place. 

Then there was tons of Ebay packing to do, and things to hunt for and eventually find. There's only one thing I can't find (customer is not happy). To get them all done, I "staged" the packages last night into this morning, then when I got up and had had coffee etc., I finished them up plus found and packed a few more. I ended up leaving at 6 on the dot with 21 packages on the bike trailer; the Post Office ones in one large plastic bag and the FedEx ones in another large plastic bag. 

My system worked well as I did get rained on, coming back from the post office to go to FedEx. I picked up a big box to ship a very large heavy thing (about 60 lbs) in and thought about picking up some food. Ideally, this would be the one night a week I'd stop at Krispy Chicken but I'd actually gone there last night and the one before. I remembered good old Grill-'em and stopped there. Last time I'd been by it had been full of "dude-bros" and not that pleasant but maybe tonight it would be OK. 

It turned out to be so un-busy I thought it might be closed when I rode up. I was the only customer in there. The wings have gone up to $12 now, of course. I got back here and ate them and as usual they were pretty good.
