Wow, still at it.

I'm burning up from working, so really need to take some time down.

I got most of the rest of the dishes together and into a soak.  The pressure cooker and another pot I had used were soaked separately for size, but also that the pressure cooker had burned bleh in the bottom.  I then cleaned off the freezer top, that is my counter.  I may end up getting my real counters clean.  I don't use them as they are too short and, with the cabinets, I don't have a way to use them well or fully.  I wondered why I hated them, until I got the freezer and that nice, big, area upon which to work that was another few inches taller?  Or at least no cabinets with which to contend.

I would keep working but I really... the heat.  I think that is a combination of things.  Thankfully, in truth, weather-wise, it is overcast and cooler.  No more pasta, if that is only part of the problem.  A massive simmering pot doesn't help either.  I tolerated the last two quite well, so... not sure that is it.  A headache, I think from pushing too hard and fast last night.  I'll take anacin, if I'm not sure it will do any good.  Yeah, and some bone stock and cream.  I don't need anything, but it might not hurt.  Electrolytes... I'm always short on those.

Oh, fine.  The song.

Ah, my climbing rope arrived, if I didn't mention it.  At 150 feet, 50 yards, and an arborist climbing rope, it should do for any initial tree climbing.  I'm not exactly sure if it will work for rock climbing, since I won't be pushing my fall window.  No lead climbing, just not my gig.  Even if I got in shape, I... well... that's for younger men, and for a reason.  If required, it would be an emergency of great import, and I'd just have to make due.  I may well get a static (more static, not a bull) rope for rock climbing.  You really need to be careful when choosing a rope.  A bull rope, in many situations, even with a small drop, can break you.  Too much give and you could find yourself in trouble, or even just a bit too little.  Even professionals spike themselves, even using the right ropes.  And, yet, with great care, some fitness, and attention to details, some things that are inherently dangerous can be done safely for a lifetime.  I may have an instructor, climbing partner.  I'll have to see if that pans out.  Later.
