A bit late.

Which is fine.  Down at 08:21, I think.  Up at 17:00, nearly exactly, or a bit after.  It is 86 out there, humidity readings... I am no longer taking.  I have seen high humidity, in a desert, when I visited Desert Cat in the middle of their monsoon season.  This is not that.  If, too, I doubt if it is 28% humidity that the news has been suggesting.  The inside readings, of 35% to 57% or so, are probably more accurate... today, down here, it is reading 47%.  That I can believe.  Upstairs was 55%, this morning when going to bed, before shutting the windows.  Maybe, but maybe there is more moisture one level up?  Still, I believe my indoor readings over the outdoor meter I have, or what the news offers.

I have been thirsty as a typical devil lately.  If... typical devils are generally very thirsty.  I had been just drinking water.  Since I hadn't been doing much.  But... I am beginning to add electrolytes and sea salt, to my first drink of the day.  Then sipping my fill.  We'll see if that works.  I may also add vinegar to a sip, later on, with more electrolytes.  If water doesn't cut the grail, drinking even more won't.  No, I had to add something.  Just drinking a couple gallons wasn't doing a thing for the problem.

Laundry was completed.  I took a few things up this morning, but had to dig through to actually dress for the day.  Not doing much today.  Though I would like a shower, one more load of laundry... whites, after the shower, and to set up dishes.  It's not a lot, but it's a continuation of a slow start.

Found half a mouse in the kitchen.  Sassy was doing her job.  I'll never give her a problem for that, nor do I expect her to eat it all.  She is generally well fed, so that is more a... mobile vitamin and mineral supplement?  I am pleased that, even well fed, she goes after the little beastesess.  The riddance factor, but as I have said, I like cats because we share the hunting instinct.  I may not hunt much, in that way, mostly for health and bureaucratic reasons.  But I have altered how I hunt, and what I hunt, so that I may continue.  I search the best quality items for my projects, within a price range, and... what else might work versus the very expensive.

A recent catch? JIS screwdrivers.  Hmm?  Well, with older bikes, and some newer, though it works well with philips screws... better, it is said, than philips screw drivers, it is much needed for older (and maybe newer) Japanese bikes.  Philips screwdrivers will strip JIS screws (and often their own).  JIS?  Japanese Industrial Standard... a thing that is, actually, from the past.  They ended it as an official tool type in, 2012?  Or somesuch.  But, for now, they are still making them.

How long will they continue to make them?  Who knows.  Remember, the world industrial complex, due to free money and the creation of megacorporations (essentially, the business side of a one-world-government) are trying to devolve function and increase demand through lessor tools and equipment availability (the buy new, throw away old, don't fix, repair) manufacturing processes (despite gaining power because of supposed limits on commodities), better tools, nuts, bolts, and repair items, will be going away.  Start with tools.  But, then, sort out finding repair items.

So, hunt.  Right.  Yes.  Not the biological, but other things.  And, hunt I do.  And I understand why, and choose as wisely as possible.  Will see, shortly, if these were worth the trouble.  But they weren't purchase without thought.  Oh, if you have a Japanese bike?  And want to know if these were used/are required (whether you are using them or not)?  There will be a dot near the screw, in the upper right side, I believe.  It will be, I think, right on the bike, near the screw.  

Anyway, she hunted and I hunted.  We both got our target.  She made more of a mess, but all okay.

A few things today.  And the meats were thawed, so I put them in the fridge, but hope to cook those tonight.  Thicker chops, chicken drumsticks (or thighs), and a pork roast.  Should last me the week.  Mostly.  As well, I have enough beef crumbles to make another larger meal.  'Pasghetti'!  I didn't make that this last time, but next time, probably tomorrow, I will.

Now to wake, though.  Later.
