To do list for the ranch, 11.16.15

High priority, and should be accomplished on next trip:

1. See if a dolly can scape off dirt and vegetation down to 4 inches.  This technique is being proposed so as to prep an area for a greenhouse.  Bring all the old dollies I have.  One way to dispose of them and have some use for them.
2. Find the last boundary marker.
3. Want to check the shack and see how it held up after 7 months.  Original idea was to use shack to store stuff.  Downsized it in order to simplify task.  Could be larger, considering enlargement.
4. Test the drilling methods I didn't test on an earlier trip.  May want to use the technique to make concrete anchored posts.
5. I brought a barrel out there, and it is now full of crap.  I need to get the crap out of it in order to use the barrel.

None of these items should take all that much time, nor require a lot of heavy, physical labor.  Therefore, I can probably get all this done in one day.   Number one shouldn't take more than an hour.  Number two, the same.  Number three could take less than five minutes.  Number four shouldn't take much time.  Most of the time would be to set up the drill.  Number five could take an hour or so.   If I don't get bogged down on any of these, all of this could be completed in less than a day.

Other things

Low priority, and therefore can be deferred to some future date:

• Dispose of some junk:  Want to use it to burn off the excess paper junk that I have.  Short list of junk: Maybe five large boxes of paper junk.
• Other junk not necessarily to burn:  Maybe five boxes of books I don't need.  Still got electronics to get rid of.  Old stereo.  Old vcrs.  Computer desks.  Might be able to recycle the desks and end tables.  Two recliners.  Old chest of drawers.  Various boxes of unspecified junk.

This post is now ready to go in the general subtopic of the main series of posts in the off-the-grid series.
