Cardio is the devil.

Stephen Moyer

Well, cardio was overdone today heart rate maxed out at 122.

I fed cats, gathered snow, filled the gen, got it outside, and started. I shoveled cat poop into the fire. I noticed yesterdays poop and sawdust still smoldering. I use wood pellets for cat litter.I also noticed it was time fix the chimney it was barely hanging on. I carried down an old bar stool to stand on and took the chimney apart. Oh the smoldering I add more pellet/poop/sawdust on top to keep the smoke down while I fix things.

Everything went well. The bottom half of the chimney is repaired. Above the cieling not so much. I needed to go up on the roof and replace a part. The icey snow covered sheetmetal roof. Not today.

My heart was racing, I was short of breath. I am sitting in the wood work shop resting for the second time. I loaded the fire mostly garbage some. I would add more wood later.
I gotta go I am carrying a very heavy bowl of snow to put on top.

Did I mention my back has been messed for days. So much pain I am taking pharma. Four year old muscle relaxant. That nagging voice said take it before doing work. I didn’t my back hurts end of that story.

It was warm for a few days so the light fluffy snow is now compact and very heavy. The bowlful must have been close to 40 poumds. The good thing is it would render more water. I need it, bottled water was finished. I had enough for half a cup, maybe. Most of he food I had left was pasta, for that I needed water.Which also means I needed to get a filter sytem working and filled. I would need at least 5 big bowls melted and for that I also needed to bring in more snow covered pallets to dry.

Yikes not done yet having rest break number four. Some cats do not have water yet I am waiting for snow to melt. Much worse than watching paint dry or a kettle boil. I just carried a 40 pound bag of wood pellets up. The loft cats litter box needed filling.

Still no water but snow bowls are less full. All cats got dome water more to follow. I am back upstairs, watching a kettle boil for coffee. Time elapsed so far: over 2 hours of hard labour. My etimated tolerance time ten minutes. That is usually how long I can endure the pain. Today I had no choice it all needed doing and more.

I still had to setup a filter for the snow water. Even after that I needed 24 hours to filter it 4 liters at a time.

Today I was going to mix condensed sweetened milk for my oatmeal today, yuck. I don’t like sugar. It was an Amazon purchase I should have read more. I thought it was unsweetened. Anyways, coffee is being poured through the cone. Soon I will consider putting that horrible sweetened white syrup onto my quick oats. Then its time to Halo.

There was exactly enough water for coffee and my morning oatmeal. Allahu Akbar:  google it.

No i am not Muslim or believe they are all terrorist.
