I couldn't remember.

I kept thinking.  When did I last do chores?  This afternoon, before the nap.  This morning?  Almost certain one of those two, but... which.  And... probably.  I simply can't remember.  Might be in a post, but I wasn't going to go looking.  Anyway, I decided to get out and see.

The ducks were in good shape.  I am sure I left two pans of feed open to them, and had another, essentially, two... but stacked with the feed in a lower pan so other birds couldn't get to it.  Their open pans were pretty much down to dust.  So I opened the other pans, splitting the contents between the two, the let the water run.

Then I checked the rabbits.  The rabbits have neither been eating nor drinking in even moderate sums.  The cool has been keeping them much more easily satisfied.  I had to replace four of the tiny waterers, but even they weren't completely empty.  I just don't like the idea of backwash, and have to wonder how much of the last quarter is backwash.  And a mid-sized waterer needed replacing.  Sometimes they can go through a big one in some days.

It is down to 62 out there.  You would think that would help cool the house off, but it isn't.  Fans aren't pushing much.  It is... heavy... with moisture... air.  So even the little bit of breeze, and the fans, just aren't pushing anything... more moving past the air than circulating it.

I am going to hit the watering, on the back lawn, shortly.  Then set up for the front lawn.  Sure, we got a light rain, for a while.  But that... probably... just isn't enough.  If we begin to get that much every afternoon or evening, for a few days, and looking to become normal, I will hold off watering.  It has dropped to 77 in here, near the computer.  While that is still quite warm, it is probably as cool as it has been, machine off or on, day or night, for several weeks now.  So... I guess there is that.

Later.
