No! But, maybe.

As I was tinkering around the house, putting a load in the wash and gathering other items for the next load or two, I noticed it. Clouds, heavy, pregnant, and filling the sky. Rain? It really could be. Maybe it will be a short rain, if it rains. That might help cool things off quickly and yet not mess up mowing? I can hope. I was planning to mow an hour from now, so it might work. In the meanwhile I did another load of dishes and set two more loads soaking.

I had thought my recent falling had set me back to nubs in my goals of putting my castle in order. Not being able to press ahead is depressing by itself, but to add falling even further behind while being down just adds grump to whine. There was little I could do but watch though. That is until the last few days when a window of opportunity opened again. After getting back in the saddle, I see that my efforts were not wasted and I have not fallen nearly as far back as it had seemed! I am still well ahead, and the slippage has already been tended!

The first night, it was, well, night. Yesterday was a bit off for a number of reasons. Still, it was taken up by an appointment anyway. Back on track today and it is all good. I suppose from sitting for a bit, the aches from minor efforts is back. Like last time, working through it and Tylenol in the worst cases should see me back to being able to function without thought or pain for a while. The longer I stretch my windows of opportunity, the more I can reasonably do and get done, the better. Having the bike will give me something tangibly different yet still physical to do once in a while. Work, rest, ride, rest, play... well... play is rest or can be. Variety. I need to find that local college catalog. I might have to apply for medical training, and perhaps welding, this winter. If I can get them at two days a week, and the same days to cut down on travel, I might just go forward with those. I would love to find more about classes on the short wave radio, too, for a near future endeavor.

After doing what I can today, tonight I would like to load a couple boxes of ammunition. Perhaps I will try two different powders, just to be a bit different, slightly above minimum loads, for now. I won't be packing them tight unless those prove more accurate and I can't move forward with testing until I buy a chronograph. Then I can get down to the science of 'bulletry'. Oh, I know, it is just a silly thing in a way. Then again, it does cut shooting costs (per bullet anyway), it is hands and mind "on", it is a real scientific and engineering practice, and it provides things that go "bang". Hey, all of those are right up my alley and I can do it all on my schedule. See, see?

Even if it rains too much I will simply redirect my purposes and do more in my home than I had planned. I still haven't dealt with a bunch of empty boxes, I could do more neatening, and a bit of sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and... hmm, where is my duster? Nah, I don't have enough stuff to dust to need a duster. A dish cloth should do nicely... should I decide the dust actually needs to be removed. Doesn't dust have rights yet? At least according to the U.N.? I'll be it does. Still, if I was a little more on the go, I would probably violate those rights, if nothing else just for the violation part. I best not see any blue helmets on my lawn should I do so. *evil grins*

Well, another bit and I will check the laundry. The soaking water might be cool enough to begin those dishes too. Well, maybe not. Tinker time. Have a great day.
