Appointment Attempt, Chiro, Harvests, Constant Pain, Potatoes Dug, Weeds Pulled, OPi3 - Tuesday

in Homesteading4 days ago

Headed to town yesterday morning for R's appointment but the timing ended up screwed so as @stryeyz and him got called back I headed north to go to my chiro appointment.

I was a bit early so stopped at Costco for gas.

The looped back around to the chiro where the adjustment did me good and reduced the pain levels for a while. I picked R up then and we headed for home.

Out to pick in the garden I found a number of smaller squash then the greenhouse had a nice array ready.

After noon I was still in pain but needed to get going on the last of the potatoes that need digging. It's hard since the marigolds are all flowering and they are growing with the spuds. I ended up pulling the marigolds and planting them back in the dug part of the row.

another 40 pounds of spuds washed and dried on the deck. I will bag them today.

The weeds have gotten too much so I yarded a pile of them out from by the greenhouse.

I then pulled all the cabbage plants that needed to go and carried the tub across the garden and dumped it over the fence for the sheep.

They were quite happy for the nibblins. My back and shoulders were on fire again by this point so I was for sure done for the day. It's rather maddening the constant pain that emanates from beneath my shoulder blades...

I finally figured out why the Orange Pi board wasn't loading, OS needed to be right and flashed on Balena. Managed to get Armbian going and then got the board in its case attached to the screen case.

Lots of cables but it works now. Now to figure out how to get 'cameraview' loaded and working on it.

Got a bit of time soaking which the jets did some good on my shitty back.

Today I will get the garden stuff done earlier, get my clothes washed, work with the OPi, hopefully get PT scheduled, and likely keep working on the truck engine.
