Storms and turtles?

.

Yeah, they have something in common.  Slow moving storms anyway.  They are both faster than me at times!  Bah!

I've been sitting here watching a storm roll in.  I've been meaning to get to things.  I have.  It wasn't until 11:30 that I finally got a pot of coffee on.  Then it wasn't until 12:30 before I finally ate, after starving all morning, then got a cup of coffee.  The train is more a wreck than arolling.  I can't seem to focus, get going, something.  Two days of work may be the problem.  Like it or not I have absolute limits.  I stretched those too.  The storm is nearly here, looking and feeling more like a fall storm and day.

I did, finally, get my medicine dispenser set back up.  I even tried to call the V.A. about medicines I am running short on.  Holiday?  Oh, wait, yeah, it's Saturday.  Monday will be a holiday though, as I now see.  So, Tuesday, if I remember, I need to call in refills.  Yes, there is a way to do it automatically but it seems I am using medicine prescribed by other than my SLC doctors.  I must have used the newer stuff first and am now into medicine from a previous doctor.  Oh, never mind, just...  So, the numbers on them won't get me new medicine is what that boils down to.  And I did go ahead and double the carvedilol.  I'm nervous about taking it.  That's probably what made me stall in setting up the medicine right when I should have.

I may still make my way into town to get the digger bar and take back the hydrant.  I may yet dig, before the storm races the turtle here.  But probably neither will go forth today, tomorrow, or Monday.  No, Tuesday may be my next real work day.  Which, all in all, is just fine.  I probably do need a break.  Sad as it is, that is as good as it gets.  For now.  Although I am considering, after this bit of digging, to begin a trench from the front to the back of my house in order to connect the two water systems.  A half an hour of picking and digging a few times a week would be good for me, and it is a project I want done.  Though, actually, after this pit is dug I need to get my room cleared and figured out the bathroom first.  Then I can start the other dig and some other things.  The code frost depth for Logan is 30 inches.  I don't mind an extra six inches for a little more surety though.  That is the plan, three feet deep.

By that time I will have done a bit of copper pipe soldering, and when I get all the pipes where I want them, I can probably do all of the pipe work I want all at once.  That should make a tidier job of the whole thing.  I also want to put in the "y" connection to before and after the water softener for a new outside faucet on the east side of my house (wash vehicles with softened water, water plants with straight tap water).  Doing it all at once might even save me some pipe while costing nothing extra in fittings.  Even a slug can dream.  And, like today, dreaming is all I have.

Have a good Saturday.
