Day 62 / Monday / DEC 2 / Late In The Day

Start Then Finish, Start Then Finish and so on...

I'm not exactly done mowing and now it's snowing.

This is the first fall in a long, long time that I've felt a little bit caught up and in synch with the weather.  Unexpectedly, snow was on the ground this morning and it continued all day.  The highway was not plowed and I only had one close call with sliding around a corner in 4WD with a full trailer of oak firewood.

Burning wood is a lot of work but it keeps one outside, working and moving about and you have to think and act carefully and strategically, especially with the chainsaw and tree felling aspects.  It's a good opportunity to consider the physics at work in nature.

Electronic Work...
It seems that hours per day at spent at the keyboard.  Today it was website updates and creation, document reviews and email account management.  When Windows first arrived on the desktop good surveys indicated that workers spent at least 25% of their day just messing with Windows configurations.  That was before the internet.  Last year I was of the opinion that workers spend at least 50% of their time cruising the internet, doing personal email and, of course, making friends on Facebook.  I'm going to re-visit my notion of off-grid days.
