A very good beginning.

It took a while to get going.  A bit of reading, considering, and waking.  I keep trying to figure a few things out.  One thing that has been on my mind since moving here was a clothesline.  Metal or wooden, cemented in, but with a pulley system.  The details, particular hardware, my finances (if, I am suspecting, through thievery most close), and tools, were all lacking or swimming through my thoughts as a school of fish through my grasp.

I... think I have what is needed, save a few pieces of hardware, and a stolen extended breaker bar... iron staff or beam more like.  I can get that, after getting my garage sealed.  A broken window, or locks, will clue me to find what is gone, and file an insurance claim and criminal complaint.  One $50-$70 tool?  I wish it was just that.  Hundreds, probably thousands.

I added a few more security parts to the door.  More soon, more arriving, more in the basket.  Not all of it is singular, or simply obvious.  A whole window sealed in plastic acts as both weather-proofing and as a signal of entry.  As I said, b&e is as simple as breaking glass... currently.  I might be able to change some of that, but definitely not all of it.  And, ten, one inch eye bolts, driven into a door, a bit of steel cable, and a tow truck, will easily defeat anything I could put up... assuming a lot of bulletproofing or lots of accurate incoming firepower on their part.  Defense is eventually a losing bet.

After, I set up dishes, most of them?  Then reset sprouts, while starting a new batch, with the fresh seeds which arrived yesterday.  I finally got the bins, trash and recycling, bagged.  I then collected trash and recycling.  I will get one bag of each out yet today, which will be everything.  Small bags, but it's... the smell.  Litter was hit in there too.

Now, to get a shower.  Then one last use of the big tub, for... not exactly dishes... the dehydrator baskets need cleaning.  Too large for the sink, any of them.  It will be an easy, fast, light task.  A trim before a shower.  Perhaps a shave after?  I will try to get to even that.  Things are chugging right along, amazingly.  I'll go for as long as possible.

It was 46° before dawn.  Cloudy.  Well after daybreak and not only is it still dark, overcast, but it was raining last I checked.  Up to 48°, for whatever that is worth.  Odd how sometimes the weather crashes my systems, other times it does nothing, and sometimes it jacks the gig into overdrive.  Oh, I should start that omelette casserole.  A treat, well earned.  Cheese, sliced green olives, carnitas, and...?  Later.
