Lucky Again

\"II got lucky again this morning. Sometime during last night I half woke and heard pouring rain and thunder. This morning it was still mostly overcast, and looked like it might rain again any time.

I checked the weather site. It said, 60% chance of showers and T-storms. I decided to risk it and hook up my trailer for a trip to the salvage store. Just in case, I packed along my poncho.

The overcast kept the temperature down, and it didn\’t rain! In fact, by the time I got back home about 10 am, the sun was coming out. But sometimes I think it would be nice to have a pack mule to carry my loads for me.

My trailer can carry up to 50 pounds. I haven\’t ever weighed a load, so I\’m not sure exactly how much I\’m hauling on a trip home from the store. Even if it\’s less than 50 pounds, it can feel like a major drag.

Today there was very little wind, and it actually seemed to be behind me on the way home 🙂 Usually it\’s the opposite. So that was good.

I found Capri Sun Sport Orange Shock, a box of ten 6-fluid oz pouches for $1.50. I got it to try. It\’s pretty good. I \”bought ahead\” on peanut butter, ketchup, and dill pickle chips. At the rate I\’m going, I\’ll need an extra room just to hold my salvage store finds! I think that every time I get lucky again.
