Well, a bit.

.

Something to eat right out of the gate.  Ham and beans.  It works.  I left one meal out, in the pot, the rest I put up last night.  Yeah, I can get away with that in the very short run.  Then I checked some specialty items I had put in the wash last night.  I have been considering using microfiber wash clothes and towels for various things.  Before I went with better ones I bought cheaper ones to give a go.  Well, they had been put up.

As I was finding tools and such, I found these.  They seemed fussy, so I hadn't bothered with them, then the project ended up buried in confusion and exhaustion.  I gave them a wash, to begin using them.  They were dry.  I pulled one for use today.  I can't tell from one use if it will do.  I will know soon enough.  There are several issues with them, of course.  One is, they need to be washed with likes.  They work on a principal of being able to pick stuff up... through loops of the material, piled, which grabs dirt and moisture.  If you wash them with things that have lint, like cotton or wool or such, that lint will diminish the ability of the fabric to work, mechanically.  I'll see if it works as I hope.  The thing is, you sort of have to have a lot of them to be able to wash them as a special group.  And you need to dry them before putting them in to launder, and it will take a while to collect enough to wash on their own.  Lots of little complications.  I'll see if it is worth the effort.

Next I got a shower in, then set the dishes to soak.  There aren't that many dishes, I just don't want them to blindside me, as they often do.  Even the bean pot went in, pretty much right away.  With the fridge clean and being kept up, it's easy enough put foods up right away.  Next I plan to get out and work on the sod.  I think I can get much of that done.  If I run out of time, I'll simply put the rhubarb in, perhaps the bushes.  I need to find a trimmer, to cut the roots a bit, then soak them before going out to dig the holes for the bushes.  As to asparagus, I'll cut those roots, perhaps, a bit, but as they go in.  Yeah.

It's still dark and wet out.  Oh well.  I'll give it a whirl anyway.  Later.
