Chargin'

Today: sunny, fifties.  Search early for food to break Sunday's fast settle on Jack's tacos supplementing daily fruit dose - today apple, orange, two bananas.  Day nicer as she goes - many kids/parents enjoy MLK park.  Continue humbled by abundance - what a day!
   Feel move into Swett Lodge proper imminent check SalArmy's Monday $ day come up with glass shade for replaced living area fixture - installed above, 16'x6' pleated curtain - depleated, cut into four panels; ready to install front room drapes. 
House reasonably odor free, can't refuse Earth stove much longer - holds fire 12 hours easy.  Playoffs, Earth fire, Skye call, Spud/Kate visit - sweet Sunday. 

   These guys
do everything for me.  Right - on top of course - dominant wouldn't think of hurting self, eternally abuses left still resting from scraping.  Lotion, massage muscle knots freeing tendons, roast on Earth - much better, continue gentle/idle (as best I can!) for maximum heal.  Allergic reaction to suggested ibuprofen megadose  - 4 200s x 4 over 24 hrs. - includes itchiness, small blisters, well increased blood flow to extremities.  Not all bad. 
    Shop ReStore - ReSt therapy - come up with pile of stuff for less than 13 bucks:
2"  PVC conduit - route for wire from exterior circuit box (still need opening elbow)
into house; long handle wire brush - first use: fir (piece mellow chocolate brown tongue & groove fir flooring painted white pulled from bath shelves below);
seeds - two varieties squash/radish/corn/beans, okra, rutabaga, jalapeno pepper;
crossword puzzles; hinges to replace cat piss corroded back door hinges; electrical 2"conduit connector; front porch lamp (globe/fixture my match) - to relocate ceiling lamp onto uninsulated wall (few inches vermiculite in attic only insulation in house) after porch ceiling comes down; wire nuts.  Like front porch lamp some circuits will be altered/added/refreshed - fortunately total rewire not required.  Good trip.

      Reported trading this fine tool for extension cord.  Found great local extension cord price instead add three bucks to mail order return value get deals on:
end cutter to cut nails,
chisels to spare screwdrivers,
2-1/2" Forstner bit - looking for 1/2" drill - to drill through siding etc. for electrical conduit among many uses.  In short order - usually reasonably - most necessities present themselves.  Abundance.

     Last summer put piece of something plastic lying around grate over what had been open crawl space hole on west side of house, covered other east side crawl space opening with plywood excluding varmints.  After washing house interior want increased air flow/drying under house replace east opening plywood with abandoned loaf cooler ('legs' flattened) - plays part well 'nuff to keep.

   Once gated couldn't resist completing 'lumber yard' close in despite hands (of course).  Recycle a few screws to secure four sheets salvaged luan underlayment to rafters left mid job by previous owner.
Temporarily (2-5 yrs ??) roofed, battened with available materials - tarpaper/linoleum/plastic/wood.
Plastic bag to keep hand clean, old door plate to spread tar which finds a way.
End up throwing away shirt was wearing, wash tar mess off left (of course) hand with power steering fluid/soap, clean jacket/pants with WD40.  But roof done.  Pretty much matches last summer's work east side garage roof (used T&G fir flooring battens before knowing).
Check August's chimney waterproofing handiwork (more tar, recycled linoleum) while on roof - holding up well.
Now: dry materials storage (note: gate corner lower left, luan limed side down).   Soon: shelves to keep things above ground.
      Want to finish front walk, begin move in - see what the week brings.  Huge abundance choices, plenty good tools, spring like weather chargin' - will record/share here.  Peace.   d
