Full Moon

Big day at the auctions. The action started in Kingwood with two small lockers. During the first auction of the day several vehicles were broken into. Some of the veteran buyers said this is a growing problem. At the second auction in Houston we saw a couple pickup trucks go for sale. One was a 1997 Mazda that sold for $60!!! Once we made it to the last facility, the buyer who bought the Mazda had already sold it.

I purchased a couple lockers at the final facility and spent a whooping $65. The lockers included a chest freezer, four couches, a couple antique tables, a glass kitchen table, speaker boxes, and two bed frames. My garage is busting at the seams with inventory. Josh and I need to sale some stuff before we buy anything new.

While I was on the Southwest part of Houston, I exchanged my REI half dome tent for a smaller and lighter Big Agnes Seedhouse UL1. I really like it as an ultra-light tent, but it is almost too small. Chances are I will return this one as well. I love REI’s liberal return policy, which is why I’m a loyal customer!

The tightness behind my knee is gone, but now I have a new problem. My heels are dry and the skin at the rear of both heels has “cracked”, leaving me with an open cut on both sides.

Where has the day gone!?! It’s nearly 23:00, other than driving I haven’t sat still for one minute.

Walk/run through the neighborhood. There was a HUGE bright full-moon tonight. It was truly a beautiful sight. I really need to consciously spend more time outdoors.

  1. Bill, Take a look at the tents at Academy. Years ago I bought a Coleman Peak 1 Cobra. It's not ultra-light but has more room than the Seedhouse 1. I'm not sure if they list it as a 1 man or 2 person tent but there's room for me plus my backpack. The price is right too.....$80. FYI
