Quite right.

.
.
Awake, and relatively early.  I didn't get to bed until right around midnight.  That's just how it works if I work later, or hard.  I pushed everything doing what I did.  Arms, chest, legs just a bit, and internals... the lungs and heart were stressed diligently.  No, not to a bad place, just to the end of capacity, then several more times.  But in, I think, the right way.  Now, that means today will be a day of very little.  Maybe burritos, perhaps some tinkering with the camera, and maybe a very little bit of work about the cave.  That will be it.  Same, very possibly, with Monday.  It's not so much a will thing as a reality combining health and physical fitness levels.  I have found that even getting over the latter leaves the former, and even medication wasn't fixing the former.  So... it is what it is.

Even so, I plan to review the project, the cutting.  If I think a bit more can be done, later this week, I will get to it.  Now, If I do that, it will be just a limb or two, maybe three.  I did more than that myself, my neighbor did double what I did.  And, even when I wasn't cutting, I was shifting limbs and logs (some limbs were dead, with no branches, but rather thick and long) out of the way.  It was pretty hefty work.  On the lucky side, for me, he really likes that chainsaw.  :)  I do too.  I bought a pro-level, and just a bit bigger, of a saw.  I really had hoped I would be able to get the major trees, or at least down to the trunks.  Five to six foot trunks take more of a saw than I would even want!  And, I may yet get to some of that.  I don't mind paying for the high, overarching, branches.  But the others I might be able to begin felling a bit at a time.

Funny how just a bit of that real work tightens my body up though.  It wouldn't take much to build fast either.  Remember, the last time I was able to work out, if with a helper, I went from just being able to do the bar to benching 350 in three months... along with swimming just five laps, in that same time, to swimming a mile a day three days a week.  If I can, I do, and do very well.  I don't know if I can push on through, without anything, but...  Well... we'll see.  I best be able to get to some level of function before I hit the road.

That reminds me...  I need to get my camping gear and packs in, figure out, again, what is what.  Repackaging all that so as to begin a backyard excursion into prepping for the real outdoors and camping.  I am excited for this.  Both packs will probably be a major hurdle initially.  But, I think, in time, even the big one will be doable.  The small one gets to about 40 pounds, the big one, if packed lightly, starts at 60, but can probably stow an 100 and much change, perhaps 150.  Starting with 35-40, though, is the way.  Ugh.  Thinking of humping and it isn't even Wednesday.  :p

Good morning and good day.
