Got up late this morning, at 10 AM. Went to karaoke last night, got home around MN and didn't fall asleep until around 2.
So, I probably won't be getting quite as much done today as I had counted on. That's okay.
Going to take a split plan of attack, part inside and part outside. My original thought was to do all outside today and almost all inside tomorrow. Then the next door neighbors came by and said they're having a party for a kid's birthday this afternoon. Since so much involves a chain saw, I'll be polite and stop the chain saw once the party starts.
Maybe that's better. I don't want to get too sunburned.
Somewhere in there I want to remove the bike tire and build the compost tumbler, also. I did some reading and there are some things I didn't think about for the design. Like air holes. On consideration, I want to place those so the liquid doesn't drain out. However, at some point I do want to install a drain, so I can drain liquid (compost tea) into a bucket to use for spot fertilizing. I'm torn on whether to place the tumbler in full sun or partial shade. Resources do not agree. Guess I'll just have to try full sun first and then partial shade. I'm making it low to the ground, with the barrel only a few inches off the ground, to make it easier to handle, load and unload. And so it takes less wood.
One thing slowing me down today is my changed workout. My legs are seriously sore. Seems higher reps and lower weights are harder on me than high weights are. Not too much surprise. The difference develops different muscle fibers. I've always had more slow twitch fibers (for lifting heavy weight) than fast twitch (for rapid movement). Though while both are important, slow fibers help fast fibers but fast fibers do not help slow fibers. Think about the fact that weight lifters can often run but runners cannot necessarily lift heavy weights. And when coaches try to increase a runner's speed, they advise weight training. Not often a weight training coach tells a lifter to run.
Okay, need to stop writing and start doing.
