!! In the quiet hours of the bootcamp grind, I found myself: Esteban's Bootcamp Experience

B.E.L. Post # 167

Today's cleaning blitz really flew by. During the last 25 minutes of the blitz, Seth and I made our way over to the Solarium and continued organizing the free shelf, which is slowly but surely coming together.

Afterwards, knowing one of the projects Seth has been working on involves clearing trails and installing hugel steps at the Optimus Prime berm, I decided to lend a hand in my own way. Near the road but still within the fencing were two leftover logs from a tree that came down during last winter's windstorm. They had already been bucked to roughly 10-foot lengths, so with chainsaw in hand I further bucked them down into six 3-foot logs, with two 1-foot sections left over as well.

All six 3-foot logs and the two smaller pieces are now staged and ready for Seth to pick up and use for the project.

After that I spent some time doing a little chainsaw maintenance and also repaired the rubber jaw covers for the vice. Originally they were held on with magnets, but over time those had failed, so I used a few dabs of liquid nails to reattach them and give them some new life.

I spent the remainder of the day relaxing, slowing down a bit, and collecting my thoughts. Not every productive day has to be full throttle, and today had a nice balance to it.
