All construction is done: no more windows and doors held together with tape. Presently basking in the glow of a door that shuts without throwing my shoulder into it.

A caravan of at least four monster trucks, on trailers, up the road. Purple, blue, digital camo, and ... the fourth color (rust?) escapes me. Afterwards, a person on a zero-turn riding lawnmower pulled into the gas station to fill up their tank, a local phenomena around which I'll never be able to wrap my brain: wouldn't they waste more than the convenience's worth of fuel driving the lawnmower there and back?
the unbranchening, part two
Batteries, lithium and blood cooperated and operations are complete. Among the things that I've learned in this experience:
Make sure your insulin pump infusion cabling is tucked and secured when moving tree branches
German Shepherds are not as useful at moving tree branches as one would think...
Neither are Morkies...
kaiju-squirrel lurks, somewhere....

When you decide you need a new first question for the first interview of your new mini-pod the day before said interview and you end up changing all of the questions to flow from that new first question and it gives your new mini-pod far more life than you had previously imagined.
the unbranchening (kaiju-squirrel?)
At some point yesterday, between mid-afternoon and dinner, this large limb from the neighbor's tree broke and fell into the yard. Second phase of clean-up began this morning but was felled by running out of battery life, both in the pole saw and in my blood sugar. Phase one was mostly me staring at it and saying, The fuck?; still can't figure out what brought it down as there was no wind activity to speak of. I'm blaming it on a kaiju-squirrel's bad landing.
On the bright side, K has always wanted this limb gone as it provided too much shade for her daylilies so thanks, I guess, Kaiju-Squirrel?
Final clean-up phase will begin this afternoon though battery life, both lithium and blood, might have other ideas.
