Full.

.

Dinner was good, but again, too full.  I didn't eat more than usual.  I suppose not eating a bit too often means smaller to normal meals can fill me a bit overfull.  I'll have plenty of leftovers.  Oh well.

No, no more work.  Getting to dinner took... a while.  Then getting it and eating it...  It is late, again.  It is nearing bedtime.

I did get the blankets upstairs.  The bed has been stripped, so as to be reset.  Every other, or third, day.  I would like to take a shower before going to bed.  I just showered yesterday, but that isn't the point.  A night shower, with a freshly made bed, means I can just get to work... whenever possible.  That is the goal.  A few hours of waking time, after getting out of bed.  Dressing right away, warmly.  Then to work when able.

I think I can get the other parts, for the next cage, together in one session.  As well.  I won't dryfit where it will be placed.  I will merely create a platform upon which it can sit... wide and long enough that it can take the cage... with enough room to provide adjustments as well as to be able to be set plumb... or plumb enough.

The difficult part remaining is figuring out how to put the thing together strongly enough to handle small herds of rabbits, and be able to be taken down with little more than, say, a rubber mallet.  I think... I see it.  I think it is possible.  A few remnants, with screws, to act as hitches.  And a few remnants created, far enough out of the way for the rest to swing, to act as catches.  I just made it up, mostly, so don't hate me.  I'm doing my best.

I actually enjoy working on these things.  I wish I had more money, and more energy.  I'd do all sorts of things.  Hopefully improving as I go.  If I could keep a schedule, I would try to get out and do projects for others.  Let them pay for the parts and pieces, and just provide the labor.  I wouldn't do more than a few projects a week, or a single larger one.  But... if I could, I would... tinker, make, break sometimes, and fix.

It might not be what I would have done for employ.  But in retirement, I wish I could.  Later.  Or... good night more likely.  I am winding down, and about to hit it like a cannon ball.
