Low 60s and damp with a wind equals chilled to the bone.   It was nice all day, if damp, and sunny until later in the day.

I took my time getting started though and a bunch of stretching was involved.<\/p>\n<p>I did get stuff done.  I eventually got a string trimmer running with a new saw blade style cutter head, and attacked the back yard.  The weeds were mid-calf and higher&#8230; but they all went down under the onslaught.  It took longer than it should have.  Then I poked at the mower, finally diagnosing the issue.  Ordered the part I needed, and went back out to blow leaves and re-bait rat poison stations.   The bait stations were gnawed but not empty.  I filled them up and put a couple in the attic too.<\/p>\n<p>The light was fading so I wrapped up outside.<\/p>\n<p>Did some stuff in the attic, moving and putting stuff away.<\/p>\n<p>D1 made Chipotle style chicken bowls for dinner with W&#8217;s help.  Did a good job and I ate my fill.  Kid might learn something after all.  I think she is beginning to realize she&#8217;ll have to feed herself something besides homemade cookies at some point.<\/p>\n<p>Ended the day sitting my my &#8216;water feature&#8217; reading and having a tiny little fire.  It got pretty chilly sitting there, almost like I was on the dock at the BOL.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have to get back up there.  Things need to be worked on.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, I&#8217;ll do more work here.  I&#8217;ve been neglecting the home front for a while.  If it isn&#8217;t raining today, I should be able to get some more things done.  I&#8217;ve also got a pickup to do, and normal kid taxi stuff.  Maybe I&#8217;ll take the time to cut my hair.  Oh the excitement! Oh the drama!<\/p>\n<p>One of the tasks is to re-stock the can dispenser racks in the pantry, and go through the cans I just put in storage and have ignored for a while.  Several have ruptured, and I need to sort out the breakage and look at replacements.  <\/p>\n<p>This stuff won&#8217;t stack itself.  Get to it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool and damp, windy.  The wind rose last night and it got chilly.
