Thoughts at the End of March

 A couple or three weeks ago, we went from slightly busy to ridiculously busy at our business.  My wife and I own a small fishing bait/supply delivery business that runs routes from Knoxville to Chattanooga, over towards Crossville and down to the opposite side of Nickajack Lake.  It keeps us busy enough, but the period from December to February is pretty slow...usually there's a ramp up in business in late February and March, but somewhere around the 10th, it was like a switch flipped and everybody in East Tennessee decided they were going fishing.

It's not a complaint.  Idle hands and whatnot.  

It's still a novelty to me, some 39 months into doing this, that I like my job.

My whole working career, I've done jobs that I've tolerated.  But I really like what I do.  

The downside is this.  I had a couple projects that I wanted to get done over the slow period.  I wanted to finish replacing the boards on our deck, and I wanted to get our spare room (the green room, due to it's green carpet) cleaned out so I could get new bookshelves installed in there.

Neither got done to any satisfaction.  And now we're busy.

Going to make time to get them done before it gets hot, though.

Add to our general annoyance:  we think the heat element of the dryer is done.  We've been able to sun-dry the bulk of our clothes, but at some point we're going to have to make time to either get the dryer fixed, or replaced.

Baseball season is back.  Hemmed and Hawed about whether I was going to resubscribe to MLB.TV, since my rate was going up.  Decided to go ahead, but then had to run headlong through the wall of trying to subscribe through ESPN.  I'm pretty firmly in the camp that MLB is shooting itself in the foot by making its product too difficult to see.  There's a meme out there about a game having each inning broadcast by a different provider...and it's funny because something something.....

Took the Jeopardy Anytime test back in February, and again just now,  since you can take it again on the anniversary of Jeopardy's first broadcast.  General theories are that "passing" is 35 out of 50.  I didn't keep count today, but I felt like I was somewhere around 42.

I got to do the second online test in the fall of 2024, but didn't get to move forward to the Zoom interviews.  

Maybe this time.....
