The pickets for the next fence panel are ready, the preservative applied this afternoon. I can get a little over two panels per can of wood preservative, and it's about $40 a can now, so factoring that into the project, the panels are about $80 each. The next picket run will be to Lowe's for the lumber and Home Depot for the preservative. I only shop at HD for things I can't get at Lowe's - HD has a political leaning that I'm not fond of, and I don't appreciate the open carry that occurs in there. I'm okay until I get to the end of the wood fence, when I'll need a couple of bags of concrete along with everything else.

My fitness tracker must think I've been sleeping all day; I used my right arm for the painting and the tracker is on my left. When I go to the gym I put on it in a band and wear it on my ankle so it keeps track of my cycling on the recumbent bike. I should probably go over this evening and exercise the rest of the body. :)

I loaded Threads into my tablet, and this afternoon I pulled up Twitter on the computer and looked at the accounts I follow to see who is on the new app. I don't know that it will amount to anything, but it has been interesting to be part of a huge migration of accounts. This is made possible by the connection to Instagram, but also because we are now so accustomed to social media accounts in general. I don't use most of the other trendy apps, but I added this because what has happened to Twitter is frustrating. It IS/was the place where a lot of breaking news appears. Threads doesn't have a trending list now and they supposedly don't do hashtags (but everyone is still putting them in - I think this is something that the users know that Meta will have to come around to. Hashtags have a role in all of this.)
