A good deed, expanded.

.
.
I decided to take the rabbits a bit of celery.  Not too much.  There is a lot of cord in those, and rabbits don't have a reverse, with regard to gurgitation.  So, small amounts, say 1/2" by 3" pieces, one per.  Nothing fancy, but something different.  And, tomorrow, I will take them a carrot, or half a carrot, each.  Now, from now on, it will just be a few times a week.

While I was out, I remembered that the clothes line was still in a tangle, and hadn't been put up.  So, I went to that.  Ugh.  I got it all, two lines, untangled.  Much more complicated than it sounds, as there were pulleys and old clips still on them.  The clips were plastic, and hand degraded to the point that they simply shattered when I attempted to unclip them.  So... I had to take the met springs off the line as well.

Done.  And, I have them sort of lined up.  But, I can't find the expanders for one, and the other seems to have a threading problem, as a part which came unscrewed simply will not go back together.  I should have more of those around.  If so, I'll get that up as soon as I find them.  But, I have them, pretty much, set up.  Just waiting on the missing pieces to reset. All hooked up, just the loose ends wound to spare hooks, so they should be easy to fully assemble.  Might as well.

And, I am motivated.  After getting these together, I would like to get my bedding out, let it air and sun during the day.  Perhaps leave it out for a bit, setting up another set of mats.  Then every month, through the summer at least, putting them out for air and sun refreshening.

The rabbits, most of them, seemed quite happy with the celery.  Some just wouldn't approach it, while I was there.  If I suspect they will in time.  Does.  Cautious little creatures.  And a bit snooty.  Female is as female does.  *grins*  Ten to one, they will eat them, but only well after I left.  And, enjoy.

I need a bit of a break.  The next size of underwear arrived.  I am trying them currently.  I took off the pair I was wearing yesterday, washed them.  And, since the others seemed to fit, so far, I washed the second pair (bought two mediums).  Both are drying.  If these do well, I'll put them in the line.  If they are a bit tight, I'll save them for later.  Will just have to see how these work out over the day.  So far, so good.

I'd like to get breakfast going.  After a break.  Eggs and chops really does sound good.  Then, maybe, work on the rolling jack.  It shouldn't be brain surgery, if I don't think brain surgery is all that.  More just the willingness to kill someone while hoping to help them.  Knowing, more, how to cover for mistakes, stopping bleeds, and such, than actually knowing what they are exactly doing.  I'm telling you, it isn't... what you think.  Any of it.  If it is getting much  worse.  Going downhill in a hurry.

Still, I'd like to get that gadget working.  If nothing else, just to have done something real.  And, if I can find the expanders, I'd love to get the clothesline set up.  That would be two real, mechanical, physical, things.  Food is a reward all it's own.  Well, on with my break, life, and then perhaps something else.  Later.
