Later, but a bit earlier.

.

An hour and change earlier.  But, it's just... dark?  It seems darker.  Has it been partly cloudy or is it just a sense, that feeling during fall when it seems darker than it really is.  Fewer hours of sun, a change in it's pathing, along with a few more clouds?  Dunno.  Just... having some problems getting going.

All good, I'll get back to my feet soon.  And, do what I can.

First thing today, will be a shower.  Then on to cutting wood.  I'll take the wheelbarrow over there, and stack the wood that has been cut in it, first.  Whatever will fit.  Why stack it in only to stack it out?  Less stooping.  A lot less.  And, yes, that makes it a lot easier.  I hat the idea of moving it just to move it again.  But I have tried it both ways.  The longer way is far easier.

If I can get to that, I'll see about laundry.  I have the last of the dishes to do.  They have been soaking over the weekend.  I know.  But I wasn't able to get to things this weekend.  I am not sure when the filler material will show, but I am thinking at least two packs of that.  Hoping that will be enough.  It will, essentially, if it works like is presumed, fill about two inches, and be pretty much just like tar used on roads, save rated at slower speeds.  It is premixed, and works even in cooler temps.  So...  But, that has to be obtained.  This week, certainly.  I'll see when it might be delivered.  On the good side, that means I have six bags of concrete ready for any needs.  Or to lend out.

I need to get to the grocery store too.  Roasts and burger, chicken, salad, veggies.  Trying to keep it short, but actually get enough to begin stocking extra, just a bit.  I'm not sure the freezer works as well as I'd like, for storage.  Between labeling, and the freezer only storing so-so, If you really work, you can keep three to six months supply in, assuming electricity doesn't fail.  Still, there is that.

After I get to three to six months, I have to consider canning meats.  Which... isn't all that exciting.  It sounds like a lot of work, and with somewhat limited extension, reduced flavor, but... some really nice easy, longer lasting meats.  Another negative, is that fats don't last well in there.  But, I am considering, too, canning ghee, and maybe a bit of lard and tallow.  That would be after canning meats, so isn't going to happen really soon, though maybe around Christmas or New Years, or slightly after?  We'll see.

Strange... 63/63 upstairs, 63/72/71 downstairs, and 70 outdoors.  It's a very pleasant day, mind you.  But that is at about 13:30.  I don't think it will get much warmer out there, though this front room will take more heat.  Still, all good.  After this, and some waking up, I'll get to a shower, then to cutting some wood.  Good afternoon and day.
