The garage is clean.

.

I think almost everything was moved.  Sweeping, dusting, and all.  It was a solid piece of work.  Tools were lined up, other areas were arranged, trash went out.  Quite a bit of work, actually.  My help did a great job.  Plus the usual chatter.  I see people so rarely that I do like to talk.  Sometimes they even talk back.  Word and edgewise being their major hangup.  I try to avoid certain topics.  But you know how my mind works.  Still, I think I do fairly well.  More work?  Well, since they asked.  Raking.  I can't believe it is at the end of January and it was almost too warm, with the work and all.  I dressed warmer than was needed, but... who knew it would be so warm.  And, yes, as long as it doesn't snow, the ground is open and dry enough to allow for raking.

If raking, and stacking some branches for a bonfire goes forward, I will buy grass seed again this year.  I may look around for better, or at least new, sprinkler heads too.  If I am going to plant grass, it needs water.  I keep trying to get the lawn up, and do so, then fail to maintain it.  I think I am getting ahead.  A bit more attention to watering could see me much further ahead though.  I do like grass, a lawn, and a thick one.  If I do well, I might just buy a riding lawnmower next summer.  Not this summer, too much going on.  I, if all goes well, will seed both in the spring and in the fall.  I might even look into fertilizer.

Something is a bit off.  It's like the steering wheel is five or seven degrees off.  I'm not quite ill.  I'm just not quite right.  I can do some things, it just takes more effort and there are limits.  I can't quite figure it out.  I have been stumbling with medicines, but that has to do with things being off track, not the other way around.  I'll keep stumbling thing.  Then again, even with the sun and warmth, it is still January.  I'm not doing poorly for it being mid-winter.  Given everything, this is just a mild downturn.  I'll try to move on through.  Hmm... maybe to town tomorrow... Or, at least some time this week.

I would like to see about rubber floor tiles, or a roll of the stuff.  At farm supply stores they are reasonable.  At sports stores they are ridiculous, price-wise.  That would allow me to begin working with the bench press and such.  As well, I may see if I can call in some help for electrical work, a panel in the garage.  That opens up a lot of things.  Better lighting, and driveway lighting for a start.  Perhaps an automatic garage door opener, for next winter, along with some work on the door so that it all locks up well and securely.  Then, perhaps, a welder before too long, and a more powerful air compressor.  I'm not sure exactly what size air compressor, but I would like to be able to at least use a powerful impact wrench, and fill my tires without waiting 20 minutes per.  Big tires take a lot of air.  Oh, and an electrical circuit or three dedicated to 120, for the tools I have out there and enough for a few other tools that might be wanted on demand.

It's about bedtime.  I've been going to bed later, and waking later.  But the work today seems to have made bedtime come up a little faster and harder.  All good though, it's how I prefer things.  Good night.
