One day of cold weather ... yay!!!!
Guess who got a batch of bread made.
It's supposed to warm up again today, so I hope to get some muffins made before it does.
This coming home after a hard day of working in the hot sun and then having to run around the kitchen to concoct something to eat ... well, damn, it's nearly impossible to do it with any finesse. I don't dare sit down before starting, or I won't get going again. It's obvious one needs to plan further ahead if this is going to keep up.
I got my hands on a power tool last week — an impacter — if you don't count the noise, it isn't a bad activity. I've handled an air nailer back in the day, so it's no big deal. What's a bigger challenge is getting more than two feet up a ladder and not feeling like I'm going to be pushed backward and fall off as soon as there is any kind of kickback from fastening something into a wall. Even holding up one end of a piece of siding that gets moved from the other end ... can knock me off balance. Scary.
I can't do the balance thing very well anymore; even standing on the ground, I always seem to be taking an unplanned step sideways. Not too elegant, but I don't have any lethal tools in my hand, so it's not such a big deal.
