Getting the monkeys off my back

Today was a productive day.

I was able to transport a pile of "scrap" to our local recycler. Mrs ERJ was concerned that it was growing roots.

I installed a door-and-lock-set over at Sprites. It was not my best work but it was not my worst. She paid me with a jar of instant coffee. Yes, I know. I am a heathen for drinking the stuff.

I found and fixed a short in the cattle fence.

Mrs ERJ fiddled with our vehicle insurance and that will result in our saving significant amounts of money.

I caught a woodchuck in a 160 body-grip (sometimes improperly called a "Conibear") trap this morning. I walked by it while it was still wiggling so I could have harvested the critter for meat. But I didn't.

It was a very productive Monday!

Mentioned in passing

"Gowain": Gawain -derived from the Welch word for Hawk-, also known in many other forms and spellings, is a character in Arthurian legend...In the early Welsh texts, Gawain is portrayed as a formidable but courteous and compassionate warrior, fiercely loyal to his king and his family. He is known as a friend to young knights, a defender of the poor and the unfortunate, and as the "Maidens' Knight", a rescuer of women as well  -Wikipedia
