Getting Warmer

The weather has been beautiful for a few days. I worked outside today. My boss had some bigass gutters made of galvanized steel for his barn. I cleaned and etched them with vinegar then painted them with primer. We haven't decided yet what color to paint them because we still have to choose the color of the metal roof he's going to buy. It will probably be a copperish color or blue.

Other than work, I've been keeping myself busy with projects and I've studying mycology. I'm impressed by how much more information there is now than there was when I first got interested over ten years ago. I feel like I'm about to complete something that's been left for far too long. I'm learning from a great book and the internet but there is a class I'm considering taking on how to integrate mushrooms into a garden using permacultural principles.

R and I went up to Potter Valley on Saturday, stopping first in Boonville to pick up free seeds at a sort of permaculture swap-meet, and then in Ukiah to get a grass-feed beef hamburger at the brewery and say hi to our friend. We visited with my family a little bit, then loaded my futon mattress in the trunk and came home.
