Ok, think I’ll be ready to go down to 4 scoops creatine/day either at the midpoint or end of this month. I was at 4 two cases ago but echoes took me up to 6 and then on the day I was about to go back to 4, back to the top of 5. So nice to regain my place, and since the echoes seem to get weaker each time (except case 7, which was the hardest since 3) I don’t expect another would cost me even a full scoop now.

Awright, got a bed load of mulch, cleared all the weeds out of the areas to be mulched first, expanded it to a general weeding pass when I realized I’d been in the lower backyard for a while, now fed Badger and I’m gonna go spread it out.

Okaaaay, not getting as cool after dark as I hoped and the motion of pitching shovel-loads of it from my garden cart (a 2-wheel barrow) is novel enough that if I push it as my creatine heads for nighttime decay I’m gonna trigger that post-exertion fatigue and lose it for a while. So, tomorrow, that and potting those annuals.

Ah okay, my bathtub drains all day now.

In February it started only draining once a day at like midnight, then it didn’t drain at all for a few months and I had to bail it out, then it was midnight only again, now it’s full time once more.

Got that?

…but what could that be?

The sewer line from my house to the main has been cracked by roots. Most of the year, it’s above the water table, so when the bathtub drains some water flows out into the soil.

The non-draining parts are in the heart of the wet season, when the water table is above the pipe, and there’s not pressure to drain.

And the “midnight only” parts? Well, midnight is when leaves open their pores for gas exchange, releasing oxygen and taking in carbon dioxide. They wait til then so they lose a minimum of water this way but they still lose a bunch, so to replace it the roots slurp up more water… which, if the soil water level is just a bit above the pipe, brings it briefly below, and the tub drains.

I was told about the pipe by my inspector when I moved in, I’ve held off until I’m further on planning the basement (/2nd floor) because I might want to get a bigger one put in for capacity with multiple units, interestingly last spring I had no tub problems but I had to keep plunging the toilet cause it didn’t have enough suction for turds, but that hasn’t been a thing this year.

Karafuto somehow gives me like +15 Woodcraft

Anyway an implication is you can obtain water in an area with trees but no aboveground sources by tying a plastic bag around the leafy ends of branches; when the pores open and water vapor escapes it’ll condense in the bags, which you can then retrieve.

Learned that one from the Scotsman on my last place’s couch, who had learned it in British Army survival training – the way he told it, a lot of their training was about handling being cut off behind enemy lines, which I guess makes sense.

Amusing to see the radikiddies-but-still-electoralists tantruming that Biden even negotiated the debt ceiling well rather than Green Lanterning through. Kind of hope they try to make a thing of it so they can get smacked down in the ensuing fight; Biden himself is reassuringly continuity-establishmentarian but he hasn’t really done anything to purge his party or render it safe ex-him

(ignoring the Covid maximalists to renter the world is a good start to reining in the trend starting with Bill Clinton feeling our pain that government’s just gotta do something to pacify people who cry out loudly and agonizingly enough by imposing costs on everyone else, but their approach of just not engaging won’t leave clear lessons for the rest of the party)

And what’s their leverage here? I occasionally see foot-stomping that Biden depended on their votes for election and will for reelection, but like, if they tried to sabotage his reelection and fail they could just be totally dismissed, and if they succeed… was Kerry ‘04 more solicitous of Naderites after Gore '00? I don’t see it.

Stomach continues to shrink in from the front and sides.

Tried the weighted blanket again, the thing is that even this close to summer if I want an enveloping sensory experience that sets me apart from the world in a calming way it’s more satisfying to just open the window and pull my down comforter up

Way above my pay grade, boss

It was never FUPA prominent and I’m not bruising myself banging chicks or anything now, hasn’t really been a focus of mine past that

Okay, productive day yard-wise: fully planted and backfilled the lavender, mowed the lower backyard now that it’s finally squared away, realized there’s a better way to deploy the wood and composting greens with Blueberry Hill to still make use of them but just finish up the dugout shell by dumping topsoil from the landscaping yard in it.

So next might grab a load of mulch and refresh my beds and trees for the year, pot those annuals, but then finally on to secure the Blueberry Hill retaining wall and clear the last of the downhill bamboo patch, the last things from my winter Yard Task Updates.
