I walked to the store and dropped my last remaining $20 for a while on eggs, berries and guac. There was big wind, and blowing snow, but I got that minimum hikemile in, and while I was out the crockpot was doing its thing to a chuck roast. That’s a Wednesday.

They-say it will remain grey and cold through the weekend and then go back to hot spring with temps at or above 80 and plenty of sun, and enough of a cash trickle to refill my gas tank, which is as close to dead empty as it has ever been.

A week out from that, the May cash cycle finally cycles. Then things are more or less set up (I guess) for some road-tripping in early June.

I’m thinking about what can be done in two months, and why.
