Nerve spasms/Neuralgia. Like getting poked with an electric cattle prod. And not in a good way.
Too much pain to lay still.

So up with the alarm/guard dog that was on the bed.
Investigate the near frost calm outside .
Coffee and a couple migraine tablets.

A doe was in the neighbors yard when we came home last evening.
Neighbors don't seem to be home and don't want deer eating their extensive investment in landscaping.
I was quite content just to watch.
It or another did show me the corner they are currently using.
Oh and leaves/debris still smoldering near there too.
Crazy people.
Imagining (?) a hint of thier fires smoke at 3:30 and their vehicles not all being around last night didn't help me sleep either. Not knowing if the wind was up or which direction anymore.
(He did say he had a permit before he started it. L.o.l..)

The old pains never seem to go away.

I think I'd be lifting my leg on a smoldering pile.

The winds were a blowing yesterday, nearing a frost this morning.
The Max needed tending early still.
The drinking of water is less, so the need to pee isn't there as well.
Thirsty this morning again.

The clocks roll back tonight so getting mine ready.🤣

One heavy drinker here of late.
First time in over a dozen years she turned down her breakfast was yesterday. Been struggling, and seeing the vet. Her records just transferred to local vet again. Fine with me.
And another has been skipping meals here and there.
Annd..
Well seniors . I can almost relate. Almost.

Two days of rain coming starting tonight.
I should be hustling and getting of the heavy leaf dump from the recent winds. Doing so will up the spasms though.
I'll know more in a couple hours I uess.

Plenty to do in the polebarn those two rain days=. (Fun type stuff.)
Spun the bung on a heat plant. Bummer. Trying to get the fill cap loose.
Need to get the rest of the fuel out of it a dry the fount before any flame for heat can be applied.
And it holds a lot of fuel the prior user put in it. (A bonus for me!) I'm guessing a couple gallons.

Here's an internet pic of one with a heater attachment in place over the burner like the one I'm working on.
Only mine is very rusted. clean fueled though.
Two more in the shed have black tar leaking out of the filler caps..

Black tar doesn't sound like a preferred fuel.
One or two more steps downward and it's going to be coal.

I saw this video clip on cleaning rust off.
I haven't investigated it any further, except it does appear to be brilliant and quick.

 

I finally got my little crotal bell cleaned up.

I'm thinking it is an earlier style over other ones the same size.
The suspension loop is quite thin actually.

The other ones I have dug are all much wider.
Also the middle of them are more flared.

Also the petals meet each other.

The one on the right the are separated.

This is the Astoria-Megler Bridge An impressive structure that connects the state of Oregon with Washington, crossing the majestic Columbia River. With a length of 6,545 meters, it is the longest continuous bridge in North America, allowing vehicles to pass over the wide and deep riverbed. Its main elevated span offers spectacular views of the water and surrounding areas, while its robust features enable it to withstand strong winds and the region's variable weather. It's a true marvel of engineering that has facilitated transit between the two states since 1966.
