It's slow going on my wicking tubs, but I do have 1 completely finished with a 2nd on the way, as it's now 27C downstairs where the construction is happening (where the use of a paint stripping heat gun, on low, to make the builders plastic more pliable) or outside in the sun adding the guru mix to the 1st where it's 25C (feels like 26C) in the shade.

Anyhow I'm going to have a quick cool down beer break upstairs here where it's a very nice 20C (feels like 17C) ATM with heat locked out and the box fan causing a gale.

Cheers.

I'm over in Civilisation, at least for the start of the week... Very much enjoying the more civilised aspects!

Meanwhile, new equipment has been installed... Unfortunately, there's already a hiccup with the burocracy before we can start using it...

So, the question comes... Where am I going to be when needed to start the new operations? Plans are there to get broken?...


Meanwhile in the winter darkness, this weather is weirdly mild...

20 years in the Wilderness, Civilization? It still exists?

Winning on a Tuesday morning as a glow begins in the east where it's currently 17C with 26C expected before showers and thunderstorms arrive.

Anyhow it's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

On Tuesday I think I'm going to the ER and have my left forearm examined, it hurts a lot when I'm at my desk, just not as much as when I'm laying down like on my sofa.

2000mg of acetaminophen and muscle relaxant pills barely make a dent, both are prescribed to me.

I've also had to ask the manager to put off $100 of my rent until next month(Dec 31st 2024), I have enough for a cash advance of $100 but 2 separate atms and the bank said they can't do that and the money is available too according to the people that I talked too, something is broken.

Under $50 and the bank won't charge me, over that it becomes $50 added to my shortfall, lovely, sorry I can't say more.

All it took was a 3 instead of a 2.

I hate being gluten intolerant too, I just had to make a quick getaway, so to speak.

Herman Munster with blue skin, not exactly appealing, it was an unaired pilot in color on youtube, green like was done in the Munster movies was better, Eddie was horrible and Lily wasn't cast yet, it was not even 14 minutes long. I have a 6'5" tall friend, he would fit into the costume easily since Fred Gwynne was also 6'5" tall, elevator shoes not withstanding.

The manager just said ok to the $100 delay.

Just another rainy and cold morning here.

When will this star go KABOOM?

That's the $64 Billion question.

The temp made it to a very humid and overcast 25C (felt like 24C), but none of that rain turned up.

Anyhow it's about time I called it a night in preparation for getting these annoying stitches out of my leg in the morning.

Cheers.

It will. But why $64 billion? Betting odds?

Good luck with the stick removal. I understand that can be a tricky procedure, if he doesn't want to be removed.

The $64,000 Question was a 1950s game show where contestants answered general knowledge questions to earn money. The phrase is now used to refer to a crucial question expressing the basic issue on a problematical subject

Billion was added for inflation.

Winning on a Hump Day morning as that glow in the east increases. It's also 17C here with 25C expected.

I'll be happy if I don't spring a leak like last time, but I will take a couple of patches with me just in case this time.

Anyhow It's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

The day is humped, though I'd rather bump off my left forearm.

I'm managing the pain some, I took out a bag of trash and made a partial rent payment, I had to use a paper check and not an e-check as the e-check wanted only the full amount.

Other than that, everything is just peachy or great.

Well the mercury here reached a very muggy 26C (felt like 27C) today before the rain and storms hit.

Meanwhile my leg certainly feels better with 6 of the 9 stitches out, including the 2 that were pulling, but I have to wait until Monday for the last 3 to be removed and no leaks were sprung this time.

Anyhow as Thor plays his favourite tunes I'm trying to evacuate the heat out of my unit so I can feed Dog and try to get a spinal reset in before the power goes out again.

Cheers.

Back from shopping after i got a nice tax refund.

Winning on a Thorsday morning in the highlands as a dull glow begins in the east and the temp is at a muggy 18C (feels like 19C) with 26C expected along with more wet weather latter in the day.

Today I'll finish drilling a lot of holes in another 8 pieces of 50mm PVC pipe for my wicking tubs as I worked out the other day with 6 tubs of the same size that I might as well prepare all the bits and pieces for the lot all at the same time to do all at once instead of doing just 1 at a time plus I had to get 2 missing bits while I was in town yesterday (I ran the village out of 50mm PVC elbows).

Anyhow it's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

37F outdoors 75F indoors, my heat pump has to defrost quite frequntly.

Back in the dark wetness that is the Food Desert...

Just heard one horror story from the best person here of living off totally fast food... Stomach churning!

More positively, a very chunky tracked excavator has remade a few miles of drainage ditches. Hopefully that will head off any further flooding and mud?...

I just finished drilling and assembling the 6 water filling/distribution/storage piping and now I'm just getting my last coffee for the morning in before I perforate the 6 remaining water distribution/storage pipes required to finish the bottom of my tubs off. Then once the perlite layer goes into the first 1 I can cut the 6 pieces of Geo-mesh needed to finish them all off and hopefully I'll have that done by the end of the weekend (depending on the weather for the adding of the soil).

We're also up to a very muggy 22C as some clouds start to build up again.

Anyhow I better get back to this coffee before drilling another couple of hundred holes then it'll be time to head to the post office to pay another bill before having a LLB on the way back.

Cheers.
