Tho the pedometer has (temporarily I hope) gone missing, I've been repeating pretty much the same activities, so I'm logging an est. 2700 for ydy and 2700 for today.

Neat quote from a good friend/thought for the day:
I was raised to say "Please" & "Thank you," to learn from my mistakes, to accept people's apologies, to have respect for my elders, to lend a helping hand to those in need, to hold the door for the person behind me, to say "Excuse me" when it was needed, and to love people for who they are, not for what you can get from them! (If you were raised this way too, re-post this if you agree.)

The camping cot for the van has been getting its necessary modifications while the van is back in the shop-- straps to stabilize the legs so they do not fold up when I move around, a layer of padding to keep the springs from ripping the sleeping bag and mattress, etc.

===

The boondocker space-planning is well underway in my head, since the van is not here to do it with. The gear lockers do fit under the cot but therefore the folded cot does not fit inside the locker. The lockers however are great. A tarp to wrap the folded cot will be picked up tomorrow so its frame does not get caught on stuff. I'll use the same tarp to wrap the scooter, which will need to be offloaded and wrapped against rain any time I set up the cot. The nightstand-flap is nice, but too heavy and too much trouble to take and install each time I camp. It will be a great addition in the pop-up camper's sleeping bunk for Hardi's stuff. (It will form a valance over the tab-top curtains we want to add for bunk-darkening.)

===

A pesky super-closet issue is resolved-- been working on hanging more and folding less as I can afford nice XL non-slip hangers. I added hooks for 2 bulky raincoats now taking up too much valuable rod space, inside the door that already has skirts, etc. hanging on the back of it. Already had the hooks. Now they are inside where I need to hang coats, not outside where they tend to collect stuff better hung on the rod, inside.

===

A pesky LR issue also resolved-- an unused chair next to Hardi's recliner is now a side table. (I added a non-slip tray and put away the crap piling up there.)

===

Gotta sign off puder-- edema in legs out of control due to meds.


I see SUNSHINE! And there MAY be a big fat check to deposit, out in that mailbox!
