Attempted furnace maintenance, but accomplished much frustration but eliminated some variables on the diagnosis of ventilation issues . Ate lunch . Wore my knee out . Still feel accomplished,, ( kinda)

Dug a new hugelkulture mound
Rolled logs into position for garden edging
Tidied up around the place
Lifted some pavers
Salvaged some star pickets and water pipe
Pulled out lantana

My method is to use a machete to cut some limbs off (usually a cheap Cold Steel/Tramontina thing, which I put my own edge on as the factory edges suck), to gain access to the central area then just kick the root system loose with my boots. This is for the bigger stuff. I might just do it this way because it gives me an excuse to use an edged tool though.

Brush cutting for me today, which will take about 4 afternoons instead of 1 as battery powered stuff sucks (I save the guzzolene for the mower).

I usually use loppers to work my way in, then grab a likely branch and walk with it until the roots come out. The sandy soil doesn't give them a foothold unless they're around rocks or fencing.
I like edged tools too but I'm very fond of my reciprocating saw.

Burnt the firestick plant.
It actually does sound like firecrackers when you burn it.

drove to hardware w/o list and got the right part
prepped for road trip
ate some chocolate
took a shower and shaved
medicated fungi on feet
Lil Bro ghosted me, he's busy in a move, I'm good, still would of liked to seen him

Groceries. The supplies are still dwindling, albeit most of the necessities are there to some extent. Still amused with the panic buying, but I understand. Two years of relatively nothing, but also that fear the majority would have felt over those years, and then the government says it's all cool, nothing to worry about, go about your business, as if it's all normal again. That invisible monster is still there for them. Humans can't just switch the fear off like that and go from one extreme to the other so quickly.

Still annoyed that the vulnerable are being sacrificed for plane tickets, nightclubs or something.

Dug out rat's tail
Carved out a tree trunk, figure I'll plant something in it
Put some netting around the rockmelon patch
Cut some reeds to dry

Overachiever ^

You put us all to shame.

Diligently doing nothing much of anything, but did get myself fed, visited with a friend over dinner , exchanged presents saved from Christmas time. Do the difficult circumstances put upon both of us.

got out of bed @ 5PM.
