I'm tired. For some reason I got ambitious today and I think I overdid it. I got up fairly early, but I didn't really do much except start the laundry until 11. Then I went to Lowe's for a board to use as shelving and to get the mail. I felt like buying lunch, so I went to a sandwich shop on William Cannon. I took it to Circle C to eat. I planned on eating it while Lucy explored. No way. She stayed by me looking for handouts.
When I got home I cut the board and made two shelves. Then I rearranged some stuff to put on them. While I was doing that I had an idea for a shorting strip that would simplify connecting the layout to the control board. So I sat out on the deck and made it up. Unfortunately as I finished it I came up with a better idea. So I'll have to take it apart and do it over.
As I was sitting there the tree near the car parking spot finally got to me. I noticed that the dead branches were keeping the live ones from growing. So I got out the chainsaw. For the next two and a half or three hours I cut the branches off the tree, cut them up, and hauled them up to the burn barrel. I removed about a third of the tree. It was a lot of work in the heat. I had my shirt off for part of it and I think I may have gotten a little sunburned.
I got finished after 6. I was hot and dirty, so I took a shower. Afterwards i was too tired to eat. So fed the animals and then I turned on the TV and sat for about an hour. After that I recovered enough to eat, but the rest of the night is just vegetating in front of the tube.
