Gee, push, would you? The engine just does not have a bit of go.

No bread has been made. I was tinkering with this and that, getting all the camping, fishing, and hiking gear in, sorted, stored, or set for laundering. I finished a few loads of laundry. I just could not get going. It is hot today, the time I checked it was 87 in the shade. Later, I thought I would go climbing, to the wall climbing area anyway.

On my way, I decided to check into a pull up bar or see what might work, at ACE. It took a bit, but I slowly found most of the pieces I needed, though I was not sure about a couple of things. One of the salesman saw me and helped figure out the last pieces. I decided to buy two different sizes of bar and see which I like the best, perhaps each will have a purpose before I am through. I will need some lumber, as I had remember the garage rafters differently, but this should be a minor task. Several four foot lengths of 4x4’s, and braces for three or four 2x4 connections. I will measure more exactly, of course, before I buy the wood. I would like to put a rope in the garage, but I just do not think the type of mount I would need would work with this roof. I suppose I could go all technical, but I think whatever I did, I would also have to do something about leaks. Being rational as I am, I know I will never really every be able to “fix” the leaks created, so leaks would just be a problem henceforth. One in which I have no interest.

Though I did not produce bread, I am finally cooking the Cornish game hens. I attempted to truss them, and I suppose one could say they are beyond fit to be tied. I will have to find in my books, internet information areas, or somehow just exactly how such a bird is to be trussed. I would also like if I could find advice on the trussing of all common fowl. Duck, Turkey, Chicken, Goose, Cornish game hens, pheasant, there are probably more, but knowing those would help, and I do enjoy each. I did not put fruit in the water filled basin of the roaster, or on the two birds I fruit brined. I will be checking the juice, shortly, and if I think it will support fruit, I will then add some. I will be buttering the outsides, shortly, regardless. I am not exactly sure on the timing, with three birds, so I will just have to go with my instincts. I will also be making a gravy again, this time fruit themed. I used only half of the fruits I purchased, the last half to be chopped and added to the gravy. I cannot say how this will turn out, but I can hope.

I am going to have to get going on something. I feel like I am just floating. On the upside, at least I am not sinking. Perhaps a change in medication? I want to start monitoring my blood pressure though. I have been a bit lazy about that. I have been taking my medications, on time for the most part, and with the perspective of my clock and my day overlaying their suggested times, on occasion. Schedule a class! I better get on that, actually. My last math class, I am going to take that this fall, which means late August, but I really need to get in and take charge of that. I would do it online, but I am not sure they will let me. Dang, hmmm. I might try to do it online anyway. Bye.
