A Record High Today!

 It will be quite warm, verging on hot, but the air will be dry and there will be wind, so I don't expect to be uncomfortable. I have a feeling that this summer will be incredible and power grids will be collapsing all over. Another crises for ERCOT, the power grid that never seems to be ready. If I thought it would be worth the effort I would try FOIA filings to try to see where the money goes and what actually has been done. I'm pretty sure I'd encounter a stone wall. 

And I'm pretty sure I'd encounter some form of retribution, because I think I'd be dealing with the moral equivalent of an outlaw gang.  We must never forget, that this is TEXAS.

NOT Windy Yesterday!

 And so far, not windy this morning. Warming continues. 

Getting Windy

 Windy conditions at this time of year are normal and it won't be long before we have significant dust in the air.

Nice, Very Nice

 Warm yesterday and lots more done. I'm sure enjoying working outside again. Only a little cool today and still above average temps. I don't mind at all. Best February in a long time. 

I think I've successfully disengaged from the world around me, to the extent possible in an urban area, and it feels quite good. I have no need at all for any human "companionship", which means that I can live in great simplicity and serenity. But I have cordial relations with acquaintances who could be useful. I'm a friendly hermit who maintains situational awareness. I take care to blend into my surroundings, attracting no attention. But I'm always very alert and observant. It's working. 

A Lot Accomplished Yesterday!

 I've gotten a head start on a lot of projects, thanks to the terrific weather lately. It won't be long before I start buying stuff at garden centers. I have a good idea of what I'll be needing, to get the landscaping I want. I love messing around with stuff like that. It will all be hidden, of course, for me to enjoy, and for me ALONE to enjoy. Last year I put in a major effort to create a privacy fence. And now it is time for me to refine that private space. I'll need pavers, some more tools, some planters, some stone material to define paths, and so on. It'll be pretty awesome when done. Well, actually, it will never be done. And that's the beauty of it.
