As I am doing things through the night, I will be cleaning out the litter pans. If I can keep up on them, stir, remove, add, through time, they don't need cleaned down to the pan often. When I don't, they need... a whole process. As is, they need to be processed, scrubbed, and reset. I can only, really, do one pan at a time though. Now, I did scrape the barnacles from all, and scraped around the dry to soak up wet spots. I then emptied one of them and have it soaking outside. Oh, and I found one of my coolers, from the trip, with... stuff still in it. Not good stuff. So, I emptied that into the first trash bag I took out, then set it to soak. Outside as well. I'll probably need to bleach it. I did bleach clean the other, must have just... become distracted then just assumed it was clean. Oops.
It doesn't look like recycling is going out today. I may set it up as if it was going out anyway, and might even take a trip to the post office. Checking mail, of course, but snooping about recycling while I am at it. Two bags went out right off, and one more is needed. Of trash. Recycling will take probably the bag there, and one more. No problem, even if it isn't recycling, as I actually have a lot of room in that bin. It's just that cardboard boxes were put in without being broken down. Empty space. So, that can wait if need be.
A load has been set. There were whites in the dryer, so I set that for a quick spin and set the first load for the washer. My boots were in a bag, so I brought those out. The bag was open, thankfully, so they don't smell awful. They do need some shining though. I believe, through the night, I will be cooking while I am tinkering with some other things. Just pieces and bits, as I can. The only thing for sure is that the trash has to go out. The rest will go forward as possible. Probably not hiking tomorrow though. But if I can get my boots tended, I will be ready in a few days, I hope. I still hope to check my hiking bag, just to have that ready as well. Boots, bags, some straightening, then a hike to a yurt.
Oh, but tomorrow, regardless, I am hoping to make it to the hardware store and dig through components until I can find what I need. Not sure anything is open until 10:00, so that will be a bit rough... Or were they open at 8:00? I'll check. If they don't have what I need, I'll try to plumbing supply store. Though they don't seem to have all that much themselves. They might have that, or other things, I am looking for. A list! I need to figure out what I need and mark it down before heading out.
As to replacing the main shut-off valve? When I get to that, I think I will have to cut one side of the pipe out, then wrench the pipe and the valve, from their separate ends. Of course, I am going to try to fix the valve before then. A couple of tools and several parts, packing, and plumbers wax, will be needed to even try that, first, though. All good. I'm getting there, more so with a little heat.
Oh, and, as I look at the list of things I am in the process of doing, the things on the middle term list, and the things on the long list? GAH! *grins* Seriously though. Oh, yeah, but you know I am loving it. Looking back at the list of accomplishments, it seems short. But many of those things were much less probable than these things. Mostly. Yeah. Later.
