“A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.’

Lao Tzu

Another day. I am having a few problems with balance today, definitely listing to starboard.

I am cooking breakfast 8 eggs, dehydrated potato strips, half a pound of butter simmer for an hour. Ya I know enough carbs and cholesterol to kill,a seven-foot-high moose. No refrigeration. I have had the eggs for a week, I saw the beginning of mold on the butter Yes I did cut that out.

Will I die maybe but not today. I have things to do.

just recording the position of the sun at sunrise

Yup went up to the wood workshop again, Chopped ten foot planks into 30 inch planks then did the exact size chop that was 29.5 inches. Then ran 14 of those through the thickness planer, flip over and repeat. Then onto the pocket hole jig. Drill 3 holes per board. Now they are ready for screws. Which I put somewhere, two years ago. Had to take a rest back pain is intense again.

To be honest I thought I would be way further ahead on this project but mistakes keep happening. Plus I am not feeling great. I am sure it was the death eggs. I fed the rest to the cats they don’t really like it.

I keep making mistakes. Earlier I mad a 1/2 inch mistake on six boards. I left one board up from that batch and used it again to make seven more mistake cuts all too short. So after I come back from town tomorrow, it will be carry more boards, chopping and planing again.

I did find some pocket hole screws but these were for hardwood, and I am definitely using softwood. I ended up using them I got a panel that bends easy. For where it is going it’s okay. But I will have to order some right screws. I wish my grk screws would work, much better screws, but the washer on the head is too big. I am sure by kregs design.

I really feel crappy, as long as it was just the eggs and not a cdiff infection from the antibiotics I took for the toothache, I should be okay tomorrow.
