A Day in the Life

I had a typically busy day, so I thought it might be interesting to record it. I've never done this here before, and times are, of course, slightly inaccurate, but here goes:

  • 7:00 Wake up and smell the coffee
  • 7:05 read the morning papers and check out the blogroll
  • 7:30 go warm up milk for Peanut, have another cuppa Joe
  • 7:45 feed the Peanut, open the henhouse
  • 8:00 Kevyn stops by with 5 gallons of fresh milk - get it in the reefer
  • 8:15 answer some email
  • 8:30 FTP to a customers drop site and get some test databases
  • 8:35 start polishing code for database validations
  • 10:00 last of the coffee disappears
  • 10:45 upload new validation program to customer
  • 10:50 take out trash, check mail
  • 11:00 grab the wheelbarrow and start cleaning out the meat chicken coop
  • 1:15 some folks show up from the market for a tour - I walk with'em for a few, but then let Kasey (Kevyn's youngest daughter) take over. Back to the turd house.
  • 2:00 last of 11 loads of chicken shit goes to the compost pile
  • 2:45 Finished with fresh water, new feed and bedding in the coop - time to get out of the 90+ degree heat. (humidity was running nearly 85% today)...
  • 3:00 take a shower
  • 3:15 I no longer smell like bird manure - read some news, answer some mail
  • 3:25 thunderheads - shutdown systems, close hatches on the henhouse
  • 3:35 rain starts - go upstairs and take a nap a rare treat and today I need it.
  • 5:20 wake up, warm up some milk for Peanut's evening feeding
  • 6:05 opps - forgot the milk while surfing - go feed Peanut!
  • 6:10 Kris gets home - she feeds Peanut!
  • 6:30 start dinner
  • 6:35 restart systems - check router
  • 6:40 go back out and finish chores - feed chickens, gather eggs, feed cats and horse
  • 7:00 dinnertime
  • 7:30 back out - close henhouse, call sheep up and feed a bit (3 lbs for 20 sheep) of grain
  • 7:40 work on proposal for new web site for customer
  • 9:45 remember to read aggregator and see if I can find something to post
  • 10:00 post this ...
