Building blocks on a large scale. Commercial recyclers make plastic lumber for lots of outdoor stuff, but the off gas of heating the plastic could be toxic so I probably shouldn't try to do it myself.

I spent the afternoon tracking down a defunct website for a friend and figuring out what web hosting service still has it up in all of it's out-of-date glory. But it's Friday afternoon in New York and the main registration company is there, so I quit for now.

There are projects I want to work on around here, but several of them involve going somewhere to look for parts or taking the leap and ordering sight-unseen online. It's the weekend when stores will have more people in them, so projects wait until Monday and I'll work here over the weekend with what I have. Even with the vaccines starting to be given in the area, nothing done in public is safer right now. I'm almost to the half-way point between vaccine shots, so the first one should in theory be doing a pretty good job of protecting me, but I'm not going to go out and test it.

I think being out of sorts, as mentioned earlier in the week, is a feature of COVID cabin fever, while the political stuff going on right now doesn't help. It's time to turn the attention to a list of things to cross off, and let those small successes help improve the mood. Clearing off desktops and counters, organizing the laundry room and potting bench, etc. Dusting and mopping. There is no shortage of items to be done around here. I did offload a bunch of recycling last night, and now I need to put more things in the donate bin and move them out of the house.
