Even with the sun  up, it is still only 52 out there.  I didn't see if it dropped below 45, but I did shut things up, a bit, and off.  Fans, doors, and windows at least partially.  Smoky out there.  At first I thought it was fog, but... no.  Smoke, from some fire, somewhere.  Fires?  And it still smells like smoke.  Sassy has calmed to it.  Knowing that it isn't something in the house.  Still, she doesn't like it.

Feeling just a bit rough.  I gamed through the evening.  Not much else I can do, for the moment.  On to bedtime.  But I am not crawling into bed, this morning.  Just going to sleep.  I've lost days... daylight.  But I'll work on getting it back.  Probably not tonight, I really need to water the lawn.  Though who knows how it will work out.

I'll say a good long prayer tonight, as I should be able to focus on not focusing.  A quiet time, as long as the rest of the prayer, longer sometimes.  Though usually I can't do more than an half hour, or I fall asleep in it.  Yes, your on the list.  Anyway, good morning and goodnight.

Neighbor texted.  Awake?  Yep!  Just in time, but I didn't mention that.  He wanted to borrow my circular saw.  More work on a project.  It turns out, the circular saw he wanted was 7 1/4", or some such.  Mine is only a 6 1/2".  But, while we were talking, the new trimmer came up.  He is getting one, too.  A Makita.  I was sure my old one must be dead, didn't try it.

He... thought differently.  So, we went and checked it out.  He tried to start it, but... as I thought.  Nothing.  But... there wasn't a drop of gas in it.  I had some gas, so we filled it.  Popped the starter, and...  Lit right off.  He asked if he could use THAT.  Sure.  It turns out, his trimmer is on backorder.

That gas trimmer?  I bought that, from Sears, in it's original place, when it still existed, when I first moved in.  That was, say, 2009, 2010?  It's a 4-stroke, so I don't have to mix oil into the gas.  Never had a problem with the engine.  But, a switch had to be fixed on it last year.  The on switch wouldn't stay in the on position.  Amazing.  So, when I return the DeWalt trimmer?  I won't buy the other one.  Oh well.  Might... have to buy something else?  Dunno.

Anyway, now it is time for bed.
