Oh, right, new tech.

I put clothes on.  I had pj bottoms and unders.  But it's too cold to be running with that.  So, compression socks, regular socks, pj bottoms, an undershirt, overshirt, and jacket, plus a beanie.  A sort of watch cap, modernized?  Or the original.  Not sure.  Warm enough, I hope.  I have the heat turned up to 72.  And, yet, it feels cool to cold anyway.  Coffee!  That'll help.

Then dishes were put up.  Most of them.  One pan remains, but I have to clear a way to where it usually sits.  Fair enough.  I checked the temp, 34 out there, currently.  Down from 60.  A twenty six degree drop, but that isn't too unusual.  Sixty as the second highest temp, into pretty much May, is what is a bit unusual.  Still, the moisture gained is worth the bargain.  Hopefully the Great Salt Lake has gotten a bit in order to begin licking it's wounds?

I need to rest a bit.  But the next plan is to empty the shop vac.  Refill it with another batch of bleach water.  Clear the tub in order to set dishes up.  Get as many of those going as possible.  Then make a meal.  The the vac an hour or two to stew, dump it, then wash it out.  Though dishes have to be out of the way before I can really get to that, so dishes before of course.

I also need to see when someone will be at the shop, to stop in.  Look for some paperwork.  And, maybe, do a bit of work outside.  Maybe rake an eight of the yard, or pick up sticks if there are larger ones out there.  The goal, when I don't have a crushing task, is to work outdoors for an half an hour to an hour, maybe two.  And to do chores and maybe extra beyond that in the house for a few hours.

I was, am, ahead.  But it was five steps forward, one back.  While I haven't brought that particular step that was lost back up, I have brought other things.  I have taken three more steps ahead on the house.  I just... want to get that lost step back.  That is a major part of the next plan.

Oh, right, the tech?  A watch, made for health and fitness.  But, more too.  It has maps on it, an altimeter, heart rate monitor, and other things.  Further, getting maps from my hiking program is possible, and not that difficult.  It is a monster thing, but... it... may help me begin my journey.  And, yes, it can be used for swimming!  It has music on it.  Not sure if that works underwater, or while swimming, itself, but will find out before long.

It is due in Friday.  But hasn't been sent yet, so I don't really know.  Excited to get it.  Of course, it requires at least a phone app.  But maybe an app for the computer, if I want to bring over maps from my hiking app.  Always complications.  However, to that end, I have already downloaded the app to my phone.  I may see if I can find the computer app, and get that pulled down today.

Hows about them apples!  Yes, I would like to find and hit trails, when they are available.  It'll be later this year.  I can explore both my phone trail apps, and this watch, learning limitations on smaller very simple trails, then moving on to more technical, long, strenuous trails.  We'll see.  But, yes, I... am excited.  And, my gear is being sorted, found, gathered, and packed.  I'll... be ready.  Able?  One thing at a time.
