 Wednesday - mid-morning.

The first night in quite a while that I didn't spend most of the night coughing. 

I did cough, but not all night long.  So I feel rested and ready to go to work, right?!!

Lol.  Not hardly but I could definitely be feeling much worse.  It's a good day to go earn a paycheck, because honey, what I'm getting this week after taxes? No, ma'am, that's not going to work.  If I could get this run over with in 2 days and get an Oklahoma - and get it done in the same day, I could at least have something for next week. 

Okay. Well, James is going to see how much it will cost to get the angle iron through work - that's to build heavy duty ramps for the trailer.  Save a bit of money.

I expect but not guaranteed to go right back out after this run.  

I also expect that starting after the trailer is ready to go, to use any full days that I have to go rent a machine and start clearing land.  I can get the trees knocked out, James can go over any days he feels like earning some extra money and cutting the trees up, putting them in a pile and start burning them. That is, of course, unless that stuff appears to be sellable.  It might actually work for use in fire rings.  

You can sell them when you get your operation up and running!  I wish, by the time that happens, those trees will be beyond their useable limit and starting on the rotting side. It rains too much around here for it to not.  It is likely that whenever I do get the operation up and running, there will be several cords of wood at the front of the operation.  Firewood will be sold by - large bundles.  These little bundles they sell at places like Kroger's and other retail outlets are laughable.

You can't even get an hour's worth of a fire out of those things.  I'm looking to make some money, I'm not looking to rip people off.  I have always looked in disgust at those puny little bundles and the price tag they have with them, I don't think it such a great idea to get greedy and say, oh, well, now that I think of it, that's the perfect size!  We'll see, it all depends on the price of a cord of wood, obviously.

Admittedly getting a much slower start to this than I originally anticipated.  But I didn't expect to get sick and feeling like crud, either.  

I can't remember the last time I had fully 2 weeks off.  I can remember coming back to work after being off a week. Lol.

I'm starting back up on Keto today. It's much easier on the road.  

I'm not going to try and get any estimates until I get at least the front of the lot cleared out.  I don't just want estimates at that point, I want the stuff done.  Well, I am going to call a few places and try to get ball park on a septic system.  

Anyway, I must be offa here, time to get moving.  

G'day.  

 Saturday - late afternoon I did not get up early since I had second load and was really deep in sleep again.  Like, this all seems to have ...
