Slowing down fast.

.

I did get the dishes washed, then reset.  I should be able to finish those yet tonight.  There aren't that many.  Then, I got out and got things cut from wire, or untied by rope.  I think the tarp is shot, though... I'll look at it when I'm in better shape.  I got one of the fences pulled loose from the weeds, the other one about half done.  

Then, I gathered all the cut lumber that was around here and there, and got that to the pile, and stacked.  The large rocks were left.  I had four to move, but... heavy.  Very, very, heavy.  Even the wheelbarrow struggled with them.  I got those out along my frontage, and placed them, stacking them neatly.

I'll tell you, untying rope which has been knotted for years, out in the weather, was... a trick.  It wasn't as heavy of work?  But it was harder, in some ways.  With the rocks, and logs, I had my arms, legs, back, and mass, to put into it.  But with rope, all I had was finger strength.  It was a work out, of it's own kind, in it's own way.  Still, I... like undoing knots.  I tie some damn fine knots, I'll say that.

I looked for the chainsaw bar oil, but couldn't find it.  I checked with the neighbor.  Nope, neither did he have it or know where mine was.  Had some ideas, but the places he suggested are the places I looked.  Not that they aren't there, only I couldn't find them there, or in a few other choice places.  I asked if he has some.  He does, but he won't be home until 22:00, give or take.

He offered that I go get it, from his place, but... I... don't think so.  I don't go... anywhere, without more than just permission, but in accompaniment with one of the residents.  Just... how I do.  Perhaps tomorrow, but it'll be a drop and fly, no time to chat.  Work.  All good.

Not sure how much heavy I can get done today.  I'd like to get the hay and grass and dirt from the sidewalk, that I cleared yesterday, into the wheelbarrow then out.  And I really want to get the cement set up and poured.  As well, I really am hoping to get the tarp and hammock set up.  Not sure about that, but... it's on the very short list.  

Other than that?  Dishes, dinner, and a shower later.  Hopefully earlier, well before bedtime, so I can cool and relax in the evening, as I dry, in short, a muscle shirt, and flipflops.  Already 17:00!?!  Ah, I was up late, for going to bed so late.  Right.  I best hit that cement, or it'll cool more than I would like, too soon.  Bleh.  Or should I wait until tomorrow?  No, I'll... get to it.  But, that means moving the dirt, hay, and weeds first.  Which shouldn't be a thing.  I... just had hoped for a little break.  Oh well.  Later.
