in which i do almost nothing.
Was up just after 6 and looked at the radar to find the rain was close. then a few sprinkles and then the rain for 15 minutes or so. let up and then stopped as the narrow band of showers passed.
went and cranked the lawnmower and used its trailer to get 2 loads of wood. split a bit and stacked it in the new wood storage shed. looks like it will hold a bit over a cord. did a bit of stapling of plastic and adding of wood to try to keep the open areas in this temporary connection to the trailer from leaking all the warmth out and letting rain in. got most of the worst of the openings covered. will try to get some walls up with doubled plastic on them this weekend or the first of next week.
johnny came by again, this time bearing gifts. some i can use as is, some will be more useful melted. left with a computer i needed not. hope it doesn't come back.
ate around 11 and around 1:30 took a nap. slept till about 3:30 and got up but still not feeling well. piddled around and did mostly nothing. poked the fire a time or two. moved the speakers and amp in here. still got to go to the trailer (old) and get the cd player and cassette deck to hook it all back up. also want to get the records and reel to reel back in the mix. then to digitize it all and get rid of most of it.

another not much day.
got the fan in the heat duct and a piece of foam around the blades to channel more air. Works great! keeps the entire trailer an even temp while running. turned it off last night and the temp dropped 5 to 7 degrees in the east end in about 5 hours. today it has run all day and tis nice and cosy in here now.
Course not that cold outside yet either. good cloud cover keeping it warm. had a couple of bouts of rain. just enough to dampen the steps.
old friend came by and took a fair amount of the day so didn't get things done i should have.
got the wood covered. put up a scaffold and put some pipe and aluminum plate from end to end. pieces 2 to 3 inch diameter trees 4 ft long across the pipe and plate then 2x4x8 sheets of old tin on that. 3 to 4 foot long 6 inch diameter firewood holding that down and a 8 foot long cedar pole on top of them topped off with a old blue tarp to give side and back protection. will probably take it down and move it to the back of the building and add another 2 sections to use on the building as well as a shed for the wood. but for now it is dry…
looked at a fair amount of stuff and thought about a bit but didn't get any of it done. guess i will try again tomorrow. not hurting as bad today as yesterday. had a couple of bouts with the back pain but nothing that the standard pain meds wouldn't get me through. that yesterday (or tuesday as this is now thursday) was a bit more than usual. don't like mixing them like that but did the job.
think i am going to give up the good fight and call it a night.
