happy holidays. spent basically all of christmas day doing work on my parents' house. got the closest i've ever been to death without drawing blood when a ~200 lbs window we were installing fell out the frame while i was standing under it. managed to catch it with very quick reflexes but another half-second spent stagnant i might have had my neck broken.
anyway by 4pm i'd been outside working for about 8 hours in a sunny 80F christmas, because what the hell is winter. felt terrible once we finally finished the work but forced myself out for 6 because i knew i'd feel better after, at least mentally. if it were grass maybe the legs would feel better too but all the asphalt texas miles haven't been kind to the stilts. all my available pegs being far past their expiration mileage doesn't help either. no watch; wasn't quick anyway
