Awake, planning.

.

It was about 19:00 when I woke, 18:30 maybe.  I know I fussed about a bit, then knowing packages were in brought those in.  I noticed that it is rather dark, partly cloudy with good cover.  That offers some chance for a cooler day... or... night, to you. 

In the packing arrived titanium flatware, a stainless 2 liter pressure cooker (weighty, but should save a great deal on fuel... not so much weight savings as how long fuel will last), a minor waterproof trail spice rack, and various other odds and ends, including a vacuum food saver.  With that having arrived, depending on how much bagging is available, I would like to get back to dehydrating.  Larger packs, meal packs, packs for various lengths of time... it's going to be trial and error and a bit of a perpetual mess and confusing.  Still, that IS how my life goes.  I never really know, but I suspect.  And that suspicion more than not leads me to better action, or no action if I just can't know quite yet.  Patience, Cricket.  Yeah, that often means a lot of nothing, a lot of waiting, a lot of reading, and some preparing.  So it goes with food storage, life, love, travel, exercise, and play.  Remember, we are just trying to get through the tunnel as wisely, safely, and properly as possible.  We can't even fix much, nothing big, few things little, not even all things personal.  A seemingly simple thing like quitting tobacco is harsh.  Getting better though.

With the potential for it to be cooler this evening, and with dishes sort of on their second soapy run, I am hoping to finish those, kick out more of the kitchen, hit the bathroom, and maybe finish the sun shade cover for the kayak tonight.  Or at least work on it.  Something I haven't, completely anyway, figured out is if and where to glue the pipe and fittings, what other sorts of attachments to attempt to craft, how to attach the whole mass to the kayak, exactly, and.... yeah...  probably some other things.  Some goals are... to keep all lengths flat.  I don't want any elbows connecting two lengths at any angle inseparably connected.  Flat.  I also need to be careful that what is glued is glued on both sides, same with other attachment forms.  And that they can be adjusted to be even, the parts that aren't fixed permanently.  Who would have thought so much thought, time, and effort might want to be put into such a simple thing.  Sure... could just toss it together.  Quite often, people who do that end up doing it over, and over, and over, and still end up "saving money" by buying a prebuilt.  I don't have that kind of money.  Oh, and the sun shade tarp is in.  It arrived today as well.  Wasn't sure when it would show, or even ship.  And it is summer, their busy season, so... quite nice.

Dishes, then look around for a bite?  Yeah.  Coffee, too.  Need some somethings to get going.  Later.
