What to do.

It is a cool night, and was yesterday as well.  I gave the food delivery folk the night off.  I had initially mistakenly let them off tonight, thinking it was the meeting night.  And they were happy for it, being tonight they had a meeting of some sort.  Then I quickly reneged, realizing my mistake.  Finally, I just gave them tonight and tomorrow off.  I had chicken thawing, and some pork cutlets, so I should be fine.  If it is cool tonight I may just oven roast the chicken hindquarters for about an half an hour, then pan fry the skin crisp.  That would do nicely.  Leaving me with quite a mess, but...

HTTrack is still going.  At almost 23 hours, and 14.7 gigs, I am starting to get a little nervous.  I did have the thing pull down to as deep of a level as possible, for backup, whatever that means.  I guess I had no idea the thing would be storing in gigs, not megs.  The computer world certainly has changed.  Though, perhaps if it is pulling videos... I do have a lot on there.  And it would be neat to be able to play them back without having to access the internet.  At this rate, the thing can run about three days before I run out of storage.  That isn't difficult to fix, if it will cost.  A simple external hard drive, and really, a terabyte or two isn't that expensive if you don't go hogwild on speed or other things.  Plus, I don't trust this computer, so it might be good to offload the data anyway.  It always ends up costing, doesn't it?  I'm... thinking.

I "owe" several people money, need new tires, have to get my mother plane tickets, need to pay auto taxes, and I am just riding that line with my nest egg.  I dunno about another expense right now.  Ah well, we will see.

I did think about it.  While I am up and awake I can have the windows open full bore, just trim them when I lay down for sleep.  That should do to get more cool and fresh air in.  It reminds me of submarines as is.  Those tubes of steel got quite a smell and rather quickly.  Remember, every human activity, every mechanical and electrical service, all the chemicals for all the purposes, all pretty much stays in there.  There are means of changing out air, freshening or refreshening the air (two very different things), but there really isn't a way to just... clear the air.  My guess is subs that have had the misfortune of having had a fire aboard unless they are serious enough to need to be opened up in drydocks would have a smokey smell for the rest of their career.  Even opening up a sub in drydock, unless it was every single compartment with huge venting fans to boot, wouldn't clear all the air.  There are too many little pockets that trap smells.  A home isn't far from that, when it is well weatherized like mine.  Well, and with cats and an ogre...  add in summer heat, even if now placated...  I now know why kings changed palaces seasonally.  I can only imagine what those places got to smell like, and more before bathing became fashionable.  Ugh.  Weather played a part, go where it is more moderate.  But cleanliness and stench had to also be something to consider.  Yeah, I still have it better.  Plus I don't have to move all the time.

Later.
