The PV panels have been washed (carefully).
Most of the north rain gutters have been cleaned of debris.
The past couple of days I have spent a lot of time climbing up and down a 20' ladder. After a while I got over my initial nervousness, but I continue to hold the Force of Gravity in great respect. My shins are all banged up from carting ladders around the property. Hands, knees, lower back... the usual suspects.
There are just a couple more windows that need attention.
The rain gutters on the south side collect much less debris than those on the north side; although I may clean them a bit... will clean them when/if we are able to add a rain catchment system. There is a short section of north side gutters that are difficult to access because of terrain. At some point, I'll need to get up there. This section is right above where I plan to put the biggest water storage tank, so maybe I'll be able to scamper up to the top of the tank and clean the gutters from there.
Yesterday, after reaching a good stopping point on the window, gutter, PV array cleaning frenzy, I got on the cross-trainer for 30 minutes. I feel that although I'm getting plenty of strength exercise, I need to maintain a cardiovascular program as well. This is challenging. So many "shoulds" leave insufficient time for "want tos".
Then, naturally, I taught a yoga class at the gym last evening. Fortunately for the Old Amigo, it was a gentle yoga class.
So today, I've done several blog postings (see my Modern Technical Manager and my Energy Efficiency blogs if you're interested). Next, I'll collect what remains of my wits and work a bit on my novel. I know how it should come out in the end, but there's a long ways between where I am and where it winds up... Said another way, I'm trying to limit my physical activity today to an afternoon weight training and cardio session. Some rest.
I think that 10 or 15 minutes of guitar playing are in order as a transitional activity.
