I must start a list of multiple projects and small tasks I need to do. They seem to occur to me at times when it isn't convenient to do them, so they are forgotten again. It's time to start addressing and crossing off some of this stuff.

Today I picked up the packages of hose-protector things that will lie across the driveway like a speed bump to keep the hose from getting smashed as I come and go to the garage. When ordering I tried to calculate how long the things would be and concluded it would take two to span the width of the area I drive over with a large SUV; I think now that one will be enough and one can be returned. They're in the back of the SUV right now (two young women worked together to load the cart at Lowes and I rolled them out and just tipped the things onto the tailgate and shoved.) I'll open one box in the car and if all of the parts that come out add up to long enough, I'll leave the other to in place to return later.
