I’m not handsome enough to be James Bond. Maybe a villain, though.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I played a little Starfield while my generator ran. I wanted to learn ship designing. I learned instead I build large minivans. With guns. I wanted to build a Firefly, but thats been done. Mass Effect Normandy been done, Star Trek ships been done too. So I build gigantic minivans, indestructible ones. I am two levels away from unlocking all the best ship design parts.<\/p>\n

Today is the first time in days I ran my generator. I had to because I drained the batteries too low last night. The solar panels have been doing a good job. Today, with the clouds, I just needed to restart the batteries. I think my new controller would have done that, but there just wasn’t enough sun. I still need two more Solar panels. Then I need to get them mounted before the deep white stuff arrives. I hope before then the rest of the heater parts arrive. That also needs installing and fabricating. Then the testing and reviewing it all.<\/p>\n

My health is getting worse, breathing has become more difficult, my eyes hurt, and don’t get me started on the osteo arthitus.<\/p>\n

My days are measured in screams. A good day means I only screamed 20 times, usually doing small things like lifting a full coffee cup.<\/p>\n

Imagine me today, I cleaned up after cats who are great a shredding cardboard boxes, which I leave out for them, they love and destroy them. Clean up took an hour of sweeping and bagging cardboard. I have a lot of that. I am thinking about buying a branch shredder. I say one being used for cardboard boxes. I would then mix them with water and sawdust to be pressed into burnable logs.<\/p>\n

I am sure I don’t have nearly enough cardboard for a whole winter. I bet they do at my local grocery store. I do have tons of sawdust from kitty litter that has been out in the weather a long time.<\/p>\n
