Well?

I could not land until I crash landed near 4:00 this morning.  Some fool removed the breaks, aileron controls, or such.  Waking at 11:00, I...  Well, I didn't have a lot of choice.  Even then that isn't a long sleep.  Beats the six hours I have been getting.  I have to break that six hour deal.  Ideal is about seven hours, in normal times.  Six hours is best if/when I am/can run lean, but I pay for it after a bit.  Grumpy and ill tempered with just a touch of 'techyness', if I ran it for weeks.  That is all the sleep you got on a submarine, in an 18 hour day, if you got to sleep in the cycle, and assuming drills didn't yank you out of bed... if they could.  *grins*  If you were up two cycles the boat could be sinking and you would just die in your sleep, blissfully unaware.  *blub*   But while I am running this hot, well, as hot as I possibly can, I can't shut it down like I usually have a better chance at.  So...  Yeah...

I tightened my various packs, examined and fortified the tools I will be taking, and just tinkered with things last night.  I had hoped everything would just go together, and I'd know where and hot to fit it all.  Truth is I was expecting more to go in my backpacks, but am realizing that isn't at all possible.  Clothes, and maybe a few things I want to keep for short, almost emergency, use will go in there.  A few packs of food, one of the waterproof match containers, towels, a few odds an ends.  Since I am taking a full week of clothes, and varied at that, plus in bags, hmm...  Well...  I'll be taking a day pack, itself, rather than breaking up the pack and sorting hoof from camp stuff.

A bit sore.  I've been pushing it.  It shows too.  The massive bruise I got while messing with the water heaters still hasn't cleared that final step, little cuts aren't healing well or quickly.  I still don't even know how I got it.  Oh, I keep tabs, make sure nothing gets infected, but I know I've been pushing.  Even as weaksauce as this has been, I couldn't do it much longer.  I will need a rest when I get back.  Then again, when I moved out here, if it hadn't been for a lot of help, on both sides, I would still be in Iowa.  I might actually be able to do that if need be, with just a little help.  Although this time I would use the exercise as a means of simply getting rid of many things.  Hmm, when I get back, after a rest, I may just start in on the dumping/clearing, repacking.  Yes indeed.  Well, and medicines keep being missed.  I am surprised that hasn't... been more of an issue.

Later.
