Helping wife with laundry, including sheets, pillow cases, comforters, and the usual clothes, making 4 or 5 laundry loads. Her friend told her that (superstition) if you do laundry on New Years Day someone you know will die, so we have to get it all done today. I called bullsh*t on it but to no avail. When my mom was still alive she always had a lunch with hog jowl and black-eyed peas on New Years Day (Southern supersition) in order to bring you good luck in the year. My wife doesn't like black-eyed peas and called bullsh*t on THAT. When the laundry is done, I figure I'm going find and put on my clean "lucky socks", because they are SmartWool and my feet are cold.
Finally installing my flooring in my office/war room…
Later cooking a Coq au Vin…

Ripped up the rotted cedar planks on the deck. There is a bunch of water logged beams underneath. My plan is to keep them exposed in the hopes of them drying out before I put down new cedar planks. Unfortunately we are to be hit with snow and or rain today+. Anybody know if my thinking is sane here?

If those beams look "iffy", apply some PC Rot Terminator to any areas that look sketchy.
This stuff saved my ass after I discovered that the beams on the end of the house were getting water rot.
Final after several delays because of getting the flu, got the floor installed into my office/war room. Just need to install the electrical panel cover, door trim, floor trim, fire detector, and put some silicone around the the window in the gap between the drywall.

Got the last of the Christmas decorations down and put away until next winter.
Now trying to map out the routes to all my kids' basketball games this week.
At least one game each day, some up to two hours from home/work.
Crazy.

The upright freezer decided it's going to retire, so it's currently got "short timer's disease" (i.e., showed up for work, but don't ask it to do anything).
Long story short, I'm having a repair guy take a look at it....unfortunately, I won't be able to contact him until at least tomorrow morning, so I spent part of today transferring frozen goods to my two refer/freezers.
My brother and his wife were keeping some frozen shrimp in there, too, but they found out they have COVID, so I delivered the shrimp to them in a 50+ year old cooler (remember when they were made of tin? Yeah, one of those), because my brother is way to attached to the old relic to let it go.
After that, it was time to make dinner, so I made fried chicken with some Crisco I found at the grocery store (they still make it?!) and used up the last of my favourite instant mashed potatoes, after which I kicked myself, because I JUST made an order with Amazon and meant to add those to the order (oh well, just ordered another box. It'll be here Wednesday. Good enough).
Now I'm catching up on the Roadkill episodes I missed earlier today, and then bed...and at this rate, that's going to be 5 minutes before sunrise.
...another day, another $3.86. =)
