"Big Change of Plans"

I've decided not to do the Ironman!


Got ya!
Actually it's probably the only thing I'm sure I'm doing.

No, the big change in plans came here.


This is what the front of the chicken house will look like. No longer will the rest of it look the same. It's just too much work fitting these boards one at a time. Because they are just rough sawn, the width varies over their length and that is compounded by warping and bad spots that I need to cut out. Aspenite costs about 8 bucks a sheet and so that's what the back and sides will be made of. I will still use the boards for the roof in order to create a wide strong overhang which should look good. And holes and such won't matter because of course I need to shingle it.

Not much time for blogging tonite. It's already almost 11 oclock and I need to get to bed. The big workout is tomorrow. I am going to do as many things as I can that will simulate race day., including my clothing and shoes. Today I swam only, an hour in the lake and it felt great.

I wish to dedicate day 317 to neighbour Nancy, who runs a lot, cuts her grass, and minds her own business but is always kind and pleasant to talk to.
