Actually, a few things right off.

.

I did go look.  The trees are 99.9 percent, really.  Maybe one to three branches left.  But those will be tricky.  Not bad, a good minor work day.  No where near the last two to three days.  More brain than back work, though with some risk.  I may well grab some of the safety snatches and the climbing rig.  Just... at those angles, with the saw, in a tree, branch to tight branch and through the brush...  Not just a chore, an adventure!

After that, I checked the plumbing under the sink.  Leaking, I might have mentioned.  I got a little huffy.  Not enough energy to tinker long, but a need to simply the process of using the r.o.  So... I grabbed the rubber mallet, a bit of righteous anger, and a thinking cap.  Those last two don't always fit together.  If placed correctly on the board, however, they can be a spiffy combo.  As today, it turns out.  I took the thing off only to find a plug in there.  It... looks like wax.  Later on, after a nap and some thinking, music, and such, I may go do I vivisection or biopsy... of sorts.  For now, removing it should allow flow.  How could a plug get in there when I'm not using that sink, thus drain, except for reverse osmosis dumping?  Anyway... I removed that, then began attempting to fit the pipes together.  They just did not want to go, and should have fit.  No normal screwing loose or tightening seemed to have any effect, so...  *bam, bam, bam, BAM*  I did get it all back together, as a unit.  Then I had to fit it into the down and out drain pipes.  *bam, bam, BAM*  Oh, but it was, again, still leaking.  Hmm?  *knee to the joint*  Ah... peace at last.  That seems to have worked.  No, it won't last, but it will allow me to get water without flooding the floor, for a while... Hopefully long enough for me to rest a bit, get that cleaned out under there, then call a plumber to put it all together in a more permanent fashion.  Bleh.

Now, if nothing causes a major fuss, perhaps the rest of the day can be a bit restful.  Timer just went off to feed the girls.  Tea should be ready.  Then back to music, perhaps some gaming after that, maybe a nap or lunch, or lunch then nap, and... rest.  I do hurt.  Bones, chest, muscle, lungs...  No energy, less now.  But all good.  Later.
