Show and tell.

A visitor.  Helped level the cement.  Showed me how to check and set the chain on the chainsaw.  And, witnessed my efforts for the week.  Nothing he doesn't do.  In a day, and then some.  Three stop and fills, today?  Dug out by hand?  A twelve hour day, plus helping me?  Still.  He knows.  And, I think I did impress.

Wait until I get the house in order, in a month or so, if I can keep this up.  I'll never be able to do blue collar again.  Probably not even white collar.  While I have been doing well, my days have been slipping.  That, alone, would exclude me.  There, on the dot, or gone.  Or, that is how I remember things.

So, the chainsaw is ready.  I'll need more concrete in the hole, one or two more bags?  Plus, tar for on top.  He will be checking on that.  That and bar oil.  I'll keep some of it, but send him with most of it.  I don't use it all that much.  Though, I realize now, it does take a lot.  I am amazed I went through one and a quarter fills of that just with what I have been doing.  Still, that... is a bit of wood.

I won't be using it on the smaller branches, or twigs.  If I can't snap them, I'll use the sawzall.  Still, I have another... well... more to cut with the chainsaw.  Not until Monday though.

A shower, yet tonight.  Oh, he thought he might know where my shovels were.  And he was right.  I thought I checked out there?  I guess not.  Bleh.

He is thinking of getting a pig.  Not sure where to put it.  I... figured he was asking.  To my mind, sure.  For a trial run.  But, if going that way?  Get three.  He will have to pick up the food, create the fence (if I would help with the fence), and mostly take care.  But, if I can also have a pig, I would do the feeding and care one week out of three.  And, if one of us was sick or busy, there would be the other to take over.  Not sure that will fall through, but...  Oh, but I did say, if they get out?  That's... I can't really do that.  His plan, his responsibility.  On that score, I'd just be a rent seeker.  :p  Though, possibly, I could help with escaped pigs.  Just, not as the main antagonist.  Probably.

We'll see.  Two pigs?  Or just his one?  I have thought about pigs, myself, honestly.  I just can't do the fencing, and manage them.  And... there is some worry about neighbors.  Though, if well penned, and part of them being his, maybe they wouldn't be as much of a danger?  Dunno.

Yes, well.  A shower, then on to bed.  As soon as possible.  Still cooling off, and relaxing a bit, before getting things going.  Ugh.
