Working on this and that.

.

I've been pushing, getting lost in little things, but too many of them.  I have things to do today as well, but I am consciously pacing.  Coffee, food efforts, medicine, setting up kit to begin working on fruit leathers while washing the dehydrator trays.  Those have gotten a first wash.  In two hours, I will finish their second wash, rinse them, and let them air dry.  Hmm... could do laundry?  Well, not enough to wash, but I haven't been folding lately.  Yeah, I could get to that.  Blogging, thinking, reading, have been filling in spots of time.  I am trying to get to some things.  I simply can't do too much or I'll bog down.

I am hoping to hit the backpack this evening and get it well and truly sorted.  Most of it is done, about a quarter of it needs to be changed or rearranged.  I want that done, dead to rights, before Monday.  The next time I plan on heading out, I will have everything done and I won't... fuss... with anything.  Blogging, maybe watch a show, reading... nothing that could throw me off.  Then I will get out very early.  Just trying to avoid any potential for a crowd, even at the zone.  There may well be fishermen out, but not many there, or at any single spot. 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... when it happens it happens.  Where it happens, as well.  Tomorrow, if I clear the world up, I may head out to look for a couple of other trail heads.  No serious work, no heavy strain.  I just want to have four or five places I could begin, so as to have... ambiguity.  I will let my mother know of the places, then indicate which I will be at in such a way that it isn't easy for others to see.  Yeah...  The one thing about blogging is visibility.  There are ways to add confusion.  Has to be pretty mild, unless a woman has been brought in on it, perhaps trained a bit, and is agreeable to it, code is very difficult for them.  If on board, and all other criteria is met, they are superb at it.  In this case, it will be a system that just works for her, leaving out most requirements.

It is a good day.  I should get most of this stuff done, and maybe have fruit leathers by tomorrow.  Mostly sugared, but some will be dosed with honey, some with splenda.  I am basically looking for a mild sweetness out of the blender.  That will hydrate to a more potent sweetness when dehydrated.  Hmm... might try just three trays of stuff, with each sweetener, first.  And I might look over other recipes, and attempt to find some specific types of recipes.  Some can just tough through terrible taste.  Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.  Yeah.

Whenever I finish my hike, as soon as I can, my next priority is the kayak.  I know, promises promises.  But... give the givens I am doing fairly well and moving along.  A little tentative.  Even I expected that.  Like the eagle just about ready to spread his wings and fly for the first time, there is and will be trepidation until the deed is done.  But that is only the start of the danger.  The end of the beginning, the beginning of the beginning, the beginning of the end.  Yes, yes, yes, and, to all, no?  None can say, though all can speculate.  Without it being their neck in the noose, it is often very easy for them to suggest just doing it, now!  Yeah!  Shut up.  :p  I am getting there.  Nice thing is, when it happens, and if I survive?  It'll get easier each time thereafter.

Later.
