Started the day off with a haircut and ran the truck through the carwash while I was out.
Next up, a late breakfast. then cleaned out the cab of the truck.
The wife's car had a low tire light show up last week. I had aired up that one but yesterday I went around all four and got them up to spec. Put some air in the rear tire of the Himalayan while I was in the neighborhood.
Straightened out a few things in the garage and swept the floor.
Took the garbage can down and got the mail.
The fourth book of my order from Thriftbooks showed up. It too is a reprint from Lindsay. The title says Modern Machinist but since the original was published in 1895, don't be looking for the latest in CNC methods. However, it's interesting reading from a historical perspective, and if you don't have any truly modern equipment, there's a wealth of knowledge that I might be able to use someday for some oddball job I run across.
After checking out the mail I went out to the woodpile to load up some of the nice splits for the fireplace. While I was out there by the shop, I went in and I could smell raccoon. Sure enough, I had my first catch of the season in the live trap up topside. I still have no idea how they are getting in. I worked on making the building a bit more secure last summer, but apparently there is still someplace that's allowing them entrance.
After dealing with the coon, I put some fresh straw in the nesting boxes for the chickens and called it quits. After doing my walkies at the rec center today, I'll pick up dog poop now that the snow has melted and see about getting something done in the shop.
