A Profitable Day

Today, I arose before the crack of dawn, and journied to my dad's apartment, where we loaded a rented pickup truck with a bunch of his old junk. As the sun came up, we journied to the flea market.
The deal was this: I'd sit out there and sell his stuff while he went to work at his job, and after covering the expenses of rental truck and grounds fee, any money collected would be split between us.
It turned out to be a pretty sweet deal. He had a bunch of old tools, ladders, air compressor, and some fairly decent stuff that went pretty early in the day.
At one point, a guy came by who wanted to buy the big ladder, but didn't have any way to get it back to his house. Since it was midday, and sales were already slowing down significantly, I figured it was probably the best chance I had to sell it, so I agreed to delivere it to his house after wrapping up.
At about 15:30, I loaded the truck back up with everything that hadn't been sold, delivered the ladder, took it back to his place, and returned the rental truck. Cool.
My mom picked me up from the rental return place, and we went to eat at Taco Bell.
Now, here I am. Between typing paragraphs for this rambling so far, I have done a small bit of web research, zoned out on the couch to Tori Amos, traversed the Collective, download hundreds of megabytes of video, recorded an audio commentary track, gone back over to my dad's apartment to divide the money, and returned here in hopes of mixing the audio. Still not quite there yet.
I wonder if tonight's release will be delayed, or if Jaeger will go ahead and release something sans my addition. Given our bandwidth situations, I highly doubt a version which includes my addition will be up by midnight, especially since it isn't even quite done yet.
What's in the cards for me now?
Well... a while ago, my original theory was that I would have all my web stuff migrated over to buildmeasite by the end of this weekend, so that bumps could be worked out during the following week. Not sure how realistic that is, given the amount of hackery involved. Well, maybe if I really throw myself into it.
I think I'll start by migrating the Content Collective. That should be fun.
I've also got some regularly featured content of my own to write.
And there's always the apartment, which is going to need to be empty soon.
Alright. I could say more right now, but I'm really beat. I think I'll kick back again for a little longer, then take my mind back in time by 2 and a half months for another chapter.
Peace.
