Just a slow evening after some music this afternoon. Will watch a new "The Rookie".
Also need to find a hot water bottle. Pulled a muscle in my lower back on the right side and it could use some heat.

Out to do some things.

Got my box for an external outlet and a few interior boxes I still needed along with a few other things at the store today. Managed to wrap up something that wasn't done yesterday and removing an entire pipe and box from the attic that I wasn't going to be using anymore once the new layout is finished. I should be able to re-use most of that.
I had no idea how much more expensive this stuff got in the last 2 years. I've largely been using stuff that I've had on hand for the last decade, but I needed a small length of flex conduit and figured I'd use the rest for lights in the garage when I get to that, but holy crap! $34 before taxes for a 50 foot length of wire-free 3/8" flex conduit!!!! Bidenflation is killing us here.
I'm so glad I had all that copper wire from back in the day. If I were to buy all the stuff I needed new for this job, it would set me back around $450 just to do electric. I'm already about $65 into it even with all the stuff I already had.
It was warm and sunny this morning but now it's cold and rainy. I did the work in the cold rain the last two days without issue, but after getting a taste of nice spring weather this put a damper on my day. Going to kick back and relax the rest of the day. It's been a productive weekend.

Everything done and so far no rain. That's a good thing. Have to see what happens the rest of the week.

Much better thank you, SIX. Heat from a hot water bottle seems to have got rid of the last bit of stiffness.

Over here, tomorrow 92, then 97, 97, and 88.
DEFINITELY indoor work!
Yesterday daughter had what I consider a good meet with a sleep specialist neuro.
Today I called our tax guy, they will file for extension for us while we get our papers together. YAY! One less thing for me to do.
Tomorrow I will
scan and email some documents for our insurance agent
re-ask that an application be re-emailed to me, since it passed expiry and timed out.
pay some bills online and
answer some emails re: daughter's volunteer program.
Make up a menu and grocery list for Thurs.
It doesn't sound like much but between that and walking the dog (early!!) and cleaning up the kitchen and making b'fast and dinner, that will take all day. In fact, it will proll take more than one day.
