or gone. time marches on. and on. not near enough time in the day to get it all done. nor near enough energy here lately.

Getting closer. to something. got the shelving up and plants moved onto them. pony tail palms moved into hole. more shelving pieces used as two wall supports between woodburning heater and plastic and blueboard walls. gonna add metal to it tomorrow.

after much fiddling and finding of boards of assorted sizes and thicknesses i got the area i am putting the heater leveled enough to put the sheet metal down and then 4 inch solid cement block on that. then moved the heater onto that base. added some brick at the front and for now have the kerosene heater on them. was going to finish putting the flue in tonight but between the cold and my level of exhaustion i am going to put that off till the morn. then get to start splitting wood again.

Miss not having the fire going. got the parlor stove to install in the 14 wide. planning to put it by the door as you enter from the front. that way it has a clear path from end to end down the halls. course the halls as such will be gone but still will have the shelves in the way. figure with a small pancake fan (computer cooling) fan in the return air duct in the central area we should be able to transfer heat through out the building. or thats my plan today/tonight.

tried going shopping again today. no real luck. I had to come home. going to try again tomorrow. don't really expect to do much but am going to see what we can find. figure on going to calcis sunday i guess. not going to stay overnight.

not in real good shape mentally this year or time of year. keep fighting to keep it together.

got a call yesterday (wed) that the ex's step dad had died some time back and they are trying to clear up the will. so had to call her and break the news. that hasn't helped either.

sent the kid the word by email. don't have a number for him. or one i can find anyway. haven't heard back yet.

still haven't got the trailer into place. moved the front by hooking to it on the ground on plywood and dragging it to the side. jd won't lift it. got one of the transport dollies back up here and under the back. the front on the trailer axle i build and dozer hooked to all. moved it about 6 feet and the blocks fell out from on top of the log. got to go and get the bridge timber and see if it will fit and try again. only about 7 or 8 feet to go and it will be almost there. gonna take the wheels off and see it that will allow it to slide more. got to get them and the axles off to allow it to be low enough to fit the greenhouse the way I want it to.

case is still blocking the drive. still not done with the gear. one more thing on the plate.

temp is quite low in here tonight. elsewhere in weaver its 24.6 outside. here it's 63.5 inside. not bad for little insulation and 2 electric oilfilleds. spell check doesn't like that word. oh well…

about time to refill the kerosene heater and call it a night.
