As this day draws to a close I am exhausted. A long a busy day.

But first, last night I was awoken by screaming. I think something was raiding the goose population down in the field across the road. The screaming was terror filled and warning and challenging. Something may have been stalking the little baby goslings and the parents may have been fighting them off. I did have a couple disquieting moments when the screaming died down, but there was one cry that went on, I imagined it was an unlucky bird in the mouth of a predator.

I awoke to natures alarm clock once again, around 4:15. I was able to snooze for a little while, until 5:15 or so when I decided to get ready to go for a run, the 3^rd day of C25K. I got dressed, then rolled, stretched, and did nerve glides. I guess I started running around 7:20. I did better than the first two days and went a little faster and a little further. That is one thing to remember about the C25K, you may not be running a lot of the time, so you need to run a fairly consistent course so you can see the progress you are making through onger distances.

After the run I gave myself a sponge bath and washed my hair, I had just finished when my neighbor puled up on his little 4 wheeler. He told me it would be a regular daily thing, him checking on me. I had to let him know I was heading into town to resister the truck and get license plates.

I was at the DMV about an hour and then took a side road home, just to see where it went. It was suppose to start raining and there was a strong possibility of a thunder storm so I decided to do brushing and chipping instead of working on the water.

I did walk up to the water and fill a jug up and then run it through the water filter. The water tastes pretty good. My neighbor stopped by again and told me I didn't need to filter the water, but I will anyway. After we get it flowing to base camp I will send a sample off to be tested.

I went to the Rainbow Resort for dinner, only the cook was there, the owner, Tracy had to leave for some reason. I had talked to the cook in passing as he asked how the food was and I had told him a couple times I enjoyed the food there and he did a great job; tonight, since I was the only one there, we talked about the menu, Gumbo was the featured item, I told him I had never had it and to go ahead and sell me an order. I decided that I needed to be more open and friendly, I introduced myself and asked where he learned to cook. We talked for a bit and he told me about Wednesday at 5, a local event of music, food and beer hosted by CDA and local restaurants and pubs. His name is Brandon

I am ready to go to bed real soon, but as I sit her on the deck, I occasionally look up and I can notice all the work I have done, opening up the view a bit ( that is the good part) and exposing a lot of clutter and old plywood that I need to haul to the dump. I really don't want to use this truck for that purpose, but I may, just to get rid of the “new” and protect it feeling and accept the fact it is work truck. There is also a lot of foam insulation in the shed which I was going to haul of, and then realised, I might want to use it for the buildings I put up here.
