Chris marvels at the presence of enough sun to create a shadow

Misc Notes:

  • Raining again. Cool, very humid.
  • Chris trnpt deck boards up to MLA, then over to Poocham to get yesterday's laundry(not dry due to w/d prob), fill water jugs(as backup due to repl filters not arriving), then take trash/recycling
  • Cass am + sat chores. Filling 5gal jug took well over 1hr. No phone signal.
  • Loud 'mowing lawn' sound again. Ugh.
  • Lunch when Chris back. During, saw enough hazy sun to make a shadow. No such luck that it stayed though.
  • Site work at MLA in afternoon.
  • Cold, two batched rocks, dinner + tea, treat Chris
  • Got to bed on schedule (wow!), but then awake much longer (wow!)
