The weather might explain some of it.

Cool?  It's just 63 currently.  I don't know what it dropped to last night but tonight it is supposed to get down to 41, with a high at 73.  Then temps jump into the mid 80's for four days.  Then into the mid 90's.  Then again they have been revising up every time I look at it while it has ended up being cooler.  Weather reporting isn't exactly a science.  It doesn't matter how "hard someone works" at it, unless it is repeatable and predictive it simply isn't science.  It is guessing, and not the best form of it.  As I have said, for the most part, I look out of my window for an overview and step out the door for a final analysis.  The rest is fiction, if I do use it for general purposes and perhaps a heads up.  I can't even count how many fronts we were supposed to get but didn't, or weren't supposed to get but did.  I don't know how many days they have predicted the right temps but I would like to say far less than half.  Then again I sort of like surprises.

I did look through my paperwork for what sales papers I am supposed to have.  It turns out, unless I missed something in a double check, that I only have one of the papers.  I had thought I received everything, a copy or my copy, of all the paperwork.  I haven't taken a thing out, and won't.  If I need a copy, the whole thing goes to the copier and is kept whole through the process.  Perhaps their version of paperwork, the names they give things, are different though.  Or maybe I just didn't see the name, being confused by a more prominent seeming title to the various pages.  I also can't find my most recent payment stub.  My mom cleaned a little too well I suspect.  I don't know if it has been thrown or if it has just been put somewhere.  I did look through several piles that had been saved to no good result.  I'll look again, again.

This week?  Probably Monday I am hoping to get to swimming, Church, and a visit to my friend.  Tuesday should see me back in the bathroom.  I will work that until it is done and take a day or two off if need be.  Then biking/hiking to the reservoir.  I need to water everything today.  The sprinklers are set for the back lawn and garden, which is fine for now.  I'll run those there a couple of hours, then give the front lawn an hour or so.  Oh, and by the end of the week, I am hoping to have enough going to put in the last two types of peppers, if the habanero are ready, otherwise the Tai will go in.  With the habanero separated, I think they might be tall enough.  Though they may just go in short.  I am thinking perhaps they simply have to have direct, all day, sun?  I could fill in what has died out there, too, and add some tomatoes and other peppers, just to fill it out.  I have quite a few extra plants, even so.  I am hoping my neighbors end up wanting them.  Otherwise, I suppose, I will just try to find a place for them.  If I get a bumper crop I could always see if anyone is into peppers...  I have an idea or two on that.  Forty pepper plants and ten to fifteen tomato plants ought to produce something.

I best get to trying to hunt down a pay stub.  Even if it isn't the most recent.  Oh... something else?  I think I need to get in and do my tax exemption on the cave.  That might give me a bump back to.  I didn't do that last year, so I might have two refunds coming back.  They give you up to two years to apply it, not sure if I am pushing the line or not...  Hup!  Later.

  1. On weather reporting, the best guesser is king.
    Biking/hiking sounds the best part of your plans.

  2. Yeah, I'm sort of looking forward to that part, but fearing it a bit too. The last time I tried to bike it bit me in the rump. Though this time I will be doing a bit of both so that might help. The greatest distance at speed is my goal.

    At least, from last year, I see that I can actually sit and pedal without falling, mostly.
