A slow start.

.

A few minor things early.  Then, I noticed someone had helped trim branches, poking into the driveway.  So, I thought I'd finish the rest of the way around.  I had purchased two variations of machetes to try.  I used the shorter version today.  Most likely, it turns out the better one will be more the one you can get the best swing with, in the given space, assuming you can bend the branch against it's natural spring, and hit there.

So, some physical work.  I had spent a bit of time out there, just sitting.  Five minutes at most.  But it was... something.  So, getting this bit of work finished gave me a little more sunshine.  And it is a bright and wonderful day.  A bit cool, at 36 now.  May warm through the day though.

As well, after that, and a rest, I got two of the mattresses unpacked.  At first, I thought they might have sent the wrong size.  I placed two different orders of these.  It turns out, they are the same sizes.  It is just that one had a pack inside a pack.  The other order had them packed just in the original box, without an outer pack.  Soo... all good.  I opened two of them, and have them airing out.  With the air as pleasant as it is, that should be very good.  Winter mountain air, that is moving, is... splendid.

I had coffee, as I may have mentioned.  As well, am enjoying carbonated water.  The Watermelon is... okay.  Won't ever be a favorite, but will do when other favorites are missing.  But one of my favorites is also on tap, hibiscus.  It really does make a pleasant flavor.

I'd like to get another shower, brush the teeth, heat the remainder of the steak, check for a few things I'd like to return, get the last few boxes torn down, and... I think I have several piles of things that could be removed if that becomes an option.  Getting there, slowly.  Doing bits, here and there.  Just... I... have to wait on a way to get the bigger items out.  I need either a dumpster or dump truck.  But... as mentioned, could probably fill a dumpster or two.  As well, have a lot of cardboard to go in, already broken down.

Oh, and as to sawhorses?  I'd like to combine the portable, easily disassembled one, with the platform one.  So that I can craft a larger, rather solid, woodworking table, cutting table, and such that can be put in a three by four sections of the flour, but up against the wall.  Maybe craft a wheel system for it, and handles, to move it like a wheelbarrow.

The mattresses have a few hours.  Then I'll get them in, put on the cases, get them upstairs... or just do that upstairs.  Then set up the bed, put on fresh linens, the clean blankets, and the duvet.  Nice.  Should sleep well tonight.  Might be a bit weary, but that's a good thing.

I like it when I have productive work to do, and can do it.  Even if it absolutely crushes me, hurts me, leaves me with aches for days.  I'll... go... as long as I can, keep at it, keep trying.  Until I can't.  Ugh... So, I guess, that means back to it... when I can.  I'm thinking steak, then a shower, first.  A break to digest that.  Then... to check on returns... find and get those together.  Then the bed.  Later.
