Hot.\u00a0 Not right away, but I’m sure it will be hot.\u00a0\u00a0 And humid.\u00a0 And if not hot then still humid.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The storm last evening took the temp down to 74F but the humidity stayed high.\u00a0 I expect it will get pretty hot today.<\/p>\n
I did get stuff accomplished.\u00a0\u00a0 Won’t say “done” but progress was made and lessons were learned. I’m learning to run the skid steer.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got a pretty good handle on the mini-excavator, but I do still sometimes move the wrong way and get an unexpected result.<\/p>\n
I broke 10 feet of patio, about 10 Feet wide. Took about 2 hours.\u00a0 Well, the first layer anyway.\u00a0\u00a0 I think I broke part of the second layer too, and I’m hoping there isn’t a 3rd.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But that led me to rethink my removal plan.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve got to leave enough I can get the heavy equipment in to do the haul out.\u00a0\u00a0 That is going to involve some to and fro, and inefficiency.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll try something in the morning, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll try something else in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
One thing I am good at is working around blocks.\u00a0 If I can’t do this, I’ll do that, and if I can’t do that, I’ll do something else.\u00a0\u00a0 Flexibility and the ability to just keep grinding on (persistence) are vital traits when things go wrong.\u00a0 And they always go wrong.<\/p>\n
Make a plan, but don’t be afraid to change it.<\/p>\n
And stack the things you need for plan a, b, and c.<\/p>\n
