While I had dug the asparagus bed well it has rained every day since then. In one way I was surprised at how well it was still dug, but some of it had clumped. Further, the dirt is much heavier being about as sodden as it can be. Any more moisture and it would fall apart.
As it went, I was able to de-sod and redig about half of it. Oh, and it is chilly out there. Between the damp, the lack of sun, and all else, my fingers are chilled. My body is okay. Chilly, even very cold, sub-zero, weather doesn't bother me, unless my hands are wet or working with whatever might be cold. Both, wet and working with the cold soil, this time. Even so, that isn't what got me. It was the dark, if anything, and the weight of pull the sod and separating the dirt from it. While I didn't finish removing the sod, as a last effort, I did dig up the rest of the sod again, in hopes I can finish it tomorrow.
I am hungry, but not for ham and beans. That is good from time to time, but not even daily. I have hamburger thawed, but I don't feel like cooking. I think I'll do a drivethrough somewhere. Yeah.
I am hoping to do any laundry that is left, finish the dishes, and perhaps do some work with the cast iron. Oh, and I'd like to find screen material to hot-glue to the worm bins. While the worms don't get out, the girls... are curious. Yeah, I'll get some sort of screen on there, tonight. I did find a worm on the ground. I know it didn't get there on it's own, or it wouldn't have been alone. I am not interested in offering the girls another kitty litter pot, or live toys.
At least some things are going on. I was surprised the sun is still, sort of, up. It's a bit past 20:00. It's more a heavy dusk, but how much of that is from overcast, and how much from the sun being over the 'hills', I can't quite be sure. Still, it was easily bright enough for me to work, and still work for a bit I would guess. If I could work.
Oh, as I think of woodworking, several tools I had heard of were brought to mind. I have heard of the kreg jig, of various sizes, for... a very long time. The problem with anything like that is that it is proprietary. The screws, the drill bit, and who knows what else. I hate "subscribing". Now, I really hadn't thought of finding another way. But, while looking at general tool instructions, build projects, and such, several videos popped. And, yes, I am going to give the non-joiner method a shot. I suppose if I had hundreds or thousands of holes, and was making money from it (saving money does not count), than... I might consider something faster. But I don't so... I would at least like to give the diy jig a shot.
Yeah. Later.
