A dark day.

No troubles, other than it is literally dark.  Overcast.  It isn't even cool for it, or doesn't seem so.  I have not been able to get going.  Coffee did not help, or tea.  I am simply tuckered.  Which is fine.  I'll keep the goals in mind, as I may, and search for the sometimes elusive windows of opportunity.  A nap, shortly, perhaps.

I did get the trash out.  I did a few other very minor things, which have been forgotten since.  Reading here, watching a few more programs, blogging myself... that's it.

Oh, one of the things...  I watched a video suggesting how water softness could be tested.  Putting water that had gone through your system with water that had not (in my case, from the outside faucet) into to jars in which soap had been added.  Then shaking.  Hard water does not produce bubbles, or as well (I am lead to believe).  Soft water will, typically, produce an inch of bubbles.  Hmm... both jars produced the same amount of bubbles?  Yeah.  That just doesn't make sense.  It is supposed to be rather hard water here.  Then again, perhaps that is only sometimes?  Or, perhaps, that trick doesn't work with every type of hardness... depending on the mineral or whatever else can cause hard water content.  For example, if calcium was the problem, perhaps it specifically doesn't impede bubble formation.  Or the soap was strong enough, or formulated for, hard water bubble production?  Unknown.

I did taste the water, after giving it some time to filter through, plus using two large amounts (more than the tank holds, by twice) of water through it.  I must admit, I do think it tastes... different.  The water softener is supposed to improve the life of the reverse osmosis, but not really add superiority.  Though, perhaps, it was simply high time for the change.  The water wasn't bad before, it just seems even better.  I doubt if I had fully used up the cartridges.  Still, better to change those before it goes bad, I think.  It takes quite a while for my limited use with a system meant for a family of five.

Oh, well... nap?  Yeah, nap.  ...  One last thing.  Her, in my dreams.  She is quite beautiful.  Is that all there is to it?  I don't think so, but it sure doesn't hurt up front.  I honestly do think I like her, too.  I just don't believe she is available.  If I thought so I'd... do something.  I won't lift a finger without some reciprocity.  I can, however, dream.  And dream quite pleasantly.  Damned cows got me coming and going.  Or... the other way around?  Then again, I don't think I am alone in that, one way or a dozen.  *wink*
