I won two art pieces from my Uncle Tom’s estate auction. They will go on my walls along with my Uncle Joe’s and other art.

The life and times of Toby
Another of my uncles, Tom, passed away, and they’re now having the first auction of some of his stuff. It’s an online auction. I am bidding on one of the wolf art pieces to add to my wall art from Uncle Joe’s estate. There’re records, tools, figurines, art, yard tools, electronics, a Cadillac, and just a variety of stuff. Probably approaching 300 lots. Ending tomorrow evening. Stuff’s in Brunswick and I don’t think there’s shipping. I don’t get any money from this estate, but my Mom and her siblings will.
Done with another tax year. I was hoping to get it done a little earlier, but at least it wasn’t right up to the wire like it has been sometimes.

I finished watching the final episode of Stranger Things tonight. I had watched through the first four seasons over the years. Sometime before season five was released, I decided to watch through the first four again. Thinking they might like it, I invited my mom and dad to watch through with me. My mom wasn’t interested, but my dad was, so we watched a few episodes a week, however long that took, from the beginning through the end of the new season. It was a long journey, but it was good.

problem
My car (2013 Impreza) wouldn’t start the other day. It had been near 0°F overnight. The accessories seemed to work just fine, but nothing from the starter, not even a weak turn over and then die. Jumping with my NOCO jumper failed. Based on some possibly inaccurate results from a multi-meter and charger, 10V and only taking 2A, I bought a new battery.
