It is time to get busy again.

I still have some business to tend this week. Still, I think I can line up the last five or six tasks and begin doing some manual work. I am hoping to finish the business tasks and then begin shoveling, weed whip a couple of times, check out the hen house and make a decision about that, and that will be all for this week. Next week I would like to have the weed whipping completed, be set up to do some tree trimming Saturday, build what of my reloading bench I have lumber for (if I do not do that tonight...), and hit the boxes I still have stored upstairs, and begin figuring out the wiring and plumbing in the house.

Everything beyond that is more money dependent than time dependent. I am not sure how much steel roofing is needed or how much it might cost, for example. And even if I cannot quite pull the money for a chainsaw out of my budget, I might get a ladder. There are a dozen things a ladder could help me do, things that do not cost money. I need to figure out if the light at the peak of the garage is merely burned out or if there is an electrical problem, I need to finish painting over purple trim that I had not noticed before, and the ladder might see me to some of the tree trimming. The thing is, if I get a step ladder (more useful), it very well exclude even attempting most of the trimming. A step ladder would be the best. There is a ladder which supposedly acts as both types, and even can act as a scaffold. I am simply unsure about how real the claims on that are. And it is a good deal pricier. Decisions...

Even if it seems like a slow week, I have been doing more than it seems. The work is different. Calling, waiting for replies, recalling, finding people, faxing, figuring out bills, reimbursement check validities, and mucking about in money and insurance notions. I could have done more along the physical side, but I tend to get jammed up doing this kind of work and cannot repurpose myself. Yes, I get stuck. Still, only a few tasks left of the pile I started with. I need to shove through that, I want it done by Friday, maybe even tomorrow... my part of it anyway.

Hmm, I think I am going to look over the reloading table, get the tomatoes watered, soak some beans, and clean as many of my guns as I can. It is about time with those, past time. I would like to go shooting soon but have decided I will not do so until I get my guns cleaned. Darn it, I want to plink!

Good night.
