    Got back from Hawai’i on Monday morning (no more overnight flights for me, can’t sleep on a plane anymore, and the lack of sleep plus jet lag is worse than just the jet lag). Good trip, the island was not busy, the beaches were clear, got some good snorkeling in, and some sunburn, etc.

    This weekend is cleaning up the garage.Report

    Online knitting group Saturday, so I have that. Will have to make sure I have something low-enough concentration-requiring so I can knit AND talk.

    May make a speedrun of the wal-mart early Saturday morning. Delta is super high and awful here (currently have 10 students of fifty isolating, have one who is okay to attend class provided they mask and do not develop symptoms, I had a possible exposure and am monitoring self for symptoms). But I’m almost out of the dark Ghirardelli chips I mix in my oatmeal in the morning and they’re the only one who has them (Mail order is notpossible of chocolate when the heat index here is eleventy billion like it is now)

    other than that: one week of classes under my belt, and the wheels are only mostly off the vehicle at this point. Hoping I can even post the Mr. Krabs “Give it up for Day 15!” on Sept. 3, or if we’ll be online by thenReport

    The docket is light this weekend, which is good because the docket was full last weekend. I’ve got a solid grip on the RHCSA material, to the point where I’m making up my own tasks to practice. (I’m really hoping this test isn’t stupid as in, “there are five ways to accomplish this task, and though you accomplished this task using method 2, we wanted it accomplished using method 4.”)

    I’m hoping the weekend is mostly just watching soccer, reading, preparing meals, and otherwise just taking things easy.Report

    Next week my wife and I are travelling to Tulsa. I am going to spend time shadowing various folks in operations, purchasing, etc. We leave on Sunday. We have to board animals, and the boarding places are closed on Sunday, so tomorrow we will be taking animals to their boarders. I also need to get some steel toe shoes to wear in the warehouse, and my wife has a few errands to run too.

    Maybe there will also be some time to do something fun as well.Report

    Today is granddaughter #1’s birthday. But the family is in the process of selling one house and buying another in the midst of an insanely hot real estate market, so constantly juggling things. At some point over the weekend we’ll connect long enough for her gift. She and I have been bicycling together this summer, and tempting fate. Her birthday present is a little carrier to fit under the saddle with the critical repair components for her bike: multitool, tire irons, replacement tube, cheap CO2 inflator, and repair links for that-sized chain. She’s only going to be eight, so we’ll work on using them. But I’m not going to carry the darned things around.Report

      I picked up a simple little (inexpensive) bike repair kit for the nephew, per your advice. He hasn’t used it yet, but I got sent pictures of him getting set up in his dorm room and my sister texted me that they needed the regular tool kit to fix the bed. Already.

      So… thank you for your advice.

      And I hope that he doesn’t need the bike repair kit that I got him but, if he does, I hope it’s as useful as the other stuff you suggested I get him.Report

    My weekend will be staying at home, under Level 4 there are few places I’m allowed to go, and even fewer places that are actually open.Report

    Football season is upon us, so I officiated at a couple of scrimmages. Not sure if my heart is really in this anymore, but the crew is making another run for a championship, so I’m going to hang on.

    I need to get out in the garden. It’s really a jungle out there, and I have no idea what I’m doing.Report
