Aug 24 Wait

Good morning 7:30 AM And the rain is back, scheduled for all day no work on the deck today. Still catching escapees from yesterday’s prison break. I don’t dare open the garage doors to go to town. So today is another day to sit and wait. I am out of solar power. I could start…


Aug 23 Great Escape

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. Terry Pratchett My cats are not Gods they are demons. Today is another day. I found that my cat-proof door wasn’t so cat-proof. I lost six females cats to the inside of my garage. Bad thing is I have to open the…


Aug 22 No Fear

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. Napoleon Hill Just woke 7:30 AM. Morning rituals and chores are done, cats fed and watered, coffee made. Pictures were taken and uploaded. Soon powdered whole milk will be in my coffee and I will be drinking it. Yesterday I did a…


Aug 21 Swingin’

The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge. Meister Eckhart Another day of rain and cloud with severe thunderstorms thrown in for fun. I have exhausted all my available power unless I fire up my gennie. That may happen if i don’t see some solar charging. I went out…


Aug 20 Cloudy with Rain

It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are… than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise. Henry David Thoreau The rain is here. Working on the deck with power tools just ain’t gonna happen. I will turn my attention to getting…


Aug 19 The First

Cough is back, it is coming from the area between my chest and mouth, bronchial tubes.  I have to remember to do deeper breathing, if I don’t my O2 numbers are low. 92 to 94. A few deep breaths later my little meter reads 96 to 98%. Just finished my morning chores, fed the cats,…


Aug 18 Stealing Sunshine

If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes. John Wooden Is today the day I get deck boards on the rear deck? I doubt it but I will make some progress before the heat arrives. Just finished the joist hangars, that was muggy work but it…


Aug 17 Dreams

There’s over a billion people on this planet that don’t have access to clean drinking water. Michael Moore I had wild epic technicolour dreams with intricate details and complicated dramas. I don’t get those often, but when I do they are so real. I awake tired from all the action in the dreams. I slept…


Aug 16 My own way

Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds. Democritus Today I hope to get more done on my back deck. I have two 4×4 posts to install and 6 more joists, then lag bolts everywhere and joist hangars. Then it’s time to haul deck boards over and cut them to size Hopefully my…


Aug 15 Grey

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. Francis of Assisi It is very grey outside and just enough mist or fine rain to keep me from using power tools outside. So I will probably just putter in my shop and see if I can do a…
