Down at 2:00, up by 8:30.

Oh, no, I didn't really want to get up.  But I couldn't stay down and it wasn't all that bad.  A bit of coffee, perhaps a bite to eat... nah, later on that last.  Maybe some canned fruit.  Cottage cheese would go great with that.  I'll have to remember next time I am in town.  Sugar, but... it's about all the sugar I get, so I simply don't worry about it.  I save my carbs for potatoes and wild if rare sodas at fast food joints.  Potatoes have been on the menu lately, but shut up.  I eat fewer carbs in a week than most people eat in two days so I really don't care, and seriously.  Look at almost any meal, made by mother, institution, or shop.  Count the carbs.  Oh, they are in there.  An half cup of macaroni noodles, a slice of bread, even technically that cup of milk (if I think that is bogus, or partially bogus).  I've dialed back my heavy cream use, anyway, and don't get a cup, probably more like half of that, per day.  Not due to dietary concerns, mind you.  A quart costs $5.

Today?  I really don't know.  I have the fittings to change the valves in the bathroom.  At least one of those was dead.  Some of the valves were dead because they are so very old.  I'm not sure how fast washers break down here, but the ones I saw in the two valves I opened were literally eroding in chunks.  I did see valve fix it kits, but they were plastic with washers.  I'll stick with copper and brass, as much as possible.  I'm not really into model kit living I guess.  I am thinking, somehow, parts of those washers might have gotten up into the faucet, if I couldn't really see that.  It's what happened to the old "new" faucet, and probably this one, and maybe what the problem in the bathroom is, though that might be a flow limiter that is gummed up.  If I can't see an easy fix on that, I will hold off until I can get the kitchen faucet going.  But if there is a .gov flow restrictor easily visible, and obtainable with a dental pick, I'll give that a whirl... but no more until the kitchen is working.

Perhaps I could tinker in the garage, do some arranging, neatening, and a little bit of bolting.  Hmm... but I did want to sand the table top before bolting.  I could also do that.  And, I could tinker around the bench.  This coming month, or next, I'd like to get rubber mats for under the bench area and maybe begin pushing something skyward... probably just bare various bars and bells, but...  If I had the money, I'd buy a heavyweight punching bag, and put that out there too.  Maybe next summer, only if I start using the weights though.  But before that, I'll figure out a chipup bar, again, assuming I start using the weights, and can bench my own weight and some change, and can do pushups easily enough.  Incentives, requirements, yes... the paperwork is required before other expenditures will be made.  It's just business, on some things.

We'll see.  But, for today, valves at least.  A bit of shop work.  Perhaps some cave cleaning.  And maybe a bit of a cleaning of the vehicle.  At least pulling everything not supposed to be in there and straightening what is supposed to be in there.  Who knows, I might find a million dollars... or not.  But, first, more coffee, medicines, and a bit of waking.  Good morning, good day, good golly would you go already?  I don't have all day to jabber you know.  :p
