Hot again.\u00a0 Yesterday was 10 degrees cooler than the day before and I appreciated it.\u00a0\u00a0 Highest I saw was 87F in the shade.\u00a0\u00a0 We had part sun and overcast most of the day, so that helped keep it cool too.\u00a0\u00a0 I really hope today is similar.<\/p>\n
The rain late Wednesday didn’t soak the ground, so I was able to work Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0 The sound of a dumpster being delivered got me moving.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then they swapped out the skid steer.\u00a0\u00a0 All in all, I got a bit of a late start.\u00a0\u00a0 I’d forgotten that I took time to build my ‘road’ so my math about how much I’m getting done per day was off.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m in better shape than I thought.\u00a0 Assuming I can keep up the pace.<\/p>\n
I have been alternating tasks, both to keep myself fresher, and to better use the machines.\u00a0 When I swap machines I try to do a bit more with the machine so it doesn’t just run for 5 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of that should continue, but some of the stuff I was alternating with should be finishing up.<\/p>\n
I should also get faster both through experience and by getting past the scary close to the edge work.\u00a0\u00a0 Can’t move fast when falling off an 18″ edge means rolling the machine down 200 ft of hill with water at the bottom…\u00a0 Even with the seat belt and the roll over protection cage, I am not sure that would be survivable.<\/p>\n
I really hope I can pull this off.\u00a0 It’s a massive amount of work.<\/p>\n
And I’ll continue doing it today.\u00a0\u00a0 For at least 10 hours in the seat.<\/p>\n
I can put in sweat equity.<\/p>\n
And stacks.\u00a0 I can stack.<\/p>\n
