Well,.. If it clears your sinuses, peels the wallpaper of the wall from 20’ away, strips old paint and varnish off wood on contact - it’s just right. LOL
Right Jinx?

Hmmmmm...a picnic? That would be different for us! There
aren’t many places to have a picnic around here, but maybe
in the back yard would be good!
I am glad you are having good weather, too! Take as much
advantage of it as you can!

Still have a lot of debris that hasn’t been picked up.

Working short is bad. Hang in there - you’ll get your turn at time off.
