From the Desk of John Rourke: May 17th……Snow

Today was fairly productive….and just a bit crazy. The variety of thoughts and experiences I’ve had today has been a bit out of the ordinary. Overall – it was good.

Normal day as far as getting up, a couple of fried eggs and some toast. 20-minute drive to work catching up on some messages via Telegram and a couple of short videos on Youtube from people I regularly follow. In this short timeframe, I heard about insane laws passed in Canada as well as the movement of American air assets that appear to be looking for Russian subs off the coast of the United States.

Work went as normal. Met with a local transportation company about moving 12 storage containers. While out walking around the wind picked up and suddenly…..snow. It started to snow. A few days ago it was around 70 and today it snowed. Crazy. Hey – welcome to Maine.

After work, I hurried home as I had arranged for a retired ex-lobsterman to meet me at the cabin. I had a small boat for sale. Guy loved it and paid me $500. Money will get put away – future projects. When we bought the house there was a boat and a homemade trailer in the garage. So – the boat has been sold and we decided to keep the trailer. It could come in handy.

I worked in the garden a bit. I’ve held off planting live plants as the forecast is saying there is a good chance of a frost tonight. Well, this weekend is supposed to be in the 70s and I have every intention of finally finishing all the planting.  I’ll be sharing some pictures and videos soon, but, for now, I have several raised beds, in-ground rows, and mounds – and also some actual raised beds sitting about 3 feet off the ground. Made from scrap wood.

Came in and performed a cognitive assessment for a company I have applied to. Looking for a better job. Better job? Better pay + better hours + better benefits = better job. We’ll see.

Next – mounted a license plate to Maine Prepper Girls’ Jeep. In Maine, you have to have a plate on the front and the back. I drilled holes and mounted the plate on the front. She’s now rock’n the two plates on her 4-door Wrangler. Sweet!!!

So many projects. They will get done….eventually.

Oh – now I’m sharing this with you….LOL.

Take care all.

Rourke
