Hot. So hot in the sun. And humid. Crazy humid. Ten minutes of raking in the sun and I need to go inside and cool down. And a breeze? What’s that? I think today will be like the last three days. Gorgeous and sunny, if I was on vacation. Misery if I’m working outdoors.<\/p>\n
I got a lot done. See yesterday’s comments for details. There is still plenty on the list, if they don’t pick up the machines today. If they do, I’ll go home. If not, I’ll stay and keep working.<\/p>\n
I’ve got plenty still to do. I need to finish cleaning up from the walkway install. There are a few more grading things to do, and I need to finish knocking down the dirt piles I had left over from 2023 when I last had the machines here. And I’ll have to move the leftover crushed slag. I guess I’ll have a pile of something no matter what I do.<\/p>\n
A second home takes a lot of work. A BOL takes more because of the rural setting, lack of local services and stores, and providing more of your own services and support. The work I’m doing this week isn’t critical. It won’t increase my readiness or resilience (well the new garden might), but it does impact the family’s use of the property, and it helps with integration into the community.<\/p>\n
And those are good things.<\/p>\n
Keep stacking. Keep working. Keep the faith.<\/p>\n
