So this afternoon I totally set up the tent that ta2dmrm8 and lthrlvr71 lent me. It's the same tent they lent to me four years ago. It totally still had the set-up instructions that I scrawled out from four years ago! I totally did not understand any part of what I'd written!! Apparently it made sense to me in 2003, but it lost something over the years.

I floundered around in the front yard for awhile until Carlette and Nick took pity on me and came out. Carlette figured it out right away, 'cause she's smart with things like that. Then I got it set up. It totally still has leaves in it from four years ago! I was apparently terrible at cleaning out tents! This year I bring a broom.

I decided not to bother seam-sealing or anything, because I'm totally going to tarp. Tarp tarp tarp. And maybe seam seal when I get there. Because it was hot and I was DONE by the time I got it up. Good thing I should be on the land early enough to get the tent up, take a breather, and then get the tarp up before dark.

It is totally fucking hot outside. I'm glad it's supposed to be slightly cooler in Michigan next Monday. It's totally sad that I'm looking at 89 degrees as slightly cooler.


I totally bought a garden cart today, but I do not yet possess it. I took advantage of their "free assembly," because as you can see I can barely put two pieces of bread together to make a sandwich. Apparently their "free assembly" does not mean some guy coming right over and saying, "All right! Let's see what we've got here!" and ripping right into the box. It means I go away and come back tomorrow and receive a fully-assembled garden cart. Fine.

The living room is totally full of crap. I wish everything would just pack itself!
