I spent about 5-6 hours just raking and burning. Spent about the same forking up beds yesterday. It hurts to type.
After raking/burning, I did some wiring in the shed to control grow lights and heat mats. Both are now on a commercial/industrial automation controller instead of a household vacation light timer for lights and the regular temp controllers for heat mats to control those. End goal is to control each heat mat individually. Will just require a $15 temp sensor for each tray and mat. Not worried about it right no because all the seeds I’m starting have an ideal germination temp between 68 and 77 so I set all trays for 73, about half way.
Sore shoulders from forking yesterday. Sore upper back muscles and noodle arms from raking today. Good night for long form podcast or TV/movie.
No pain, no gain and good to get back in shape for the new job after having 6 months off. Most likely rain from Fri to Sun, so that will be protein heavy meals and recuperation time.
Seems like when I was 40, I was 25 but now that I’m 60, I’m 75.
Heh, for me, add 10 years to each figure... :-(
I feel your pain, brother.
I'm a few weeks shy of 62. Now I can accomplish in a day what would have taken three or four hours ten years ago.
I don't much like it.
How did you fare with yesterday's storms? We were lucky here. Lots of rain but no wind to speak of. Other places around the area were not so lucky. The City of Columbia landfill/recycling yard (10 miles north of my place) was hit by a small twister which wiped out their sorting facility for the recycle stuff.
