Yesterday I cycled(!) all the way into the city to take the bicycle to the workshop for a service, even though it was cold and I really don't like cycling in the city (too much traffic). Today I picked it up and cycled it home. So glad I only have to take it into the city twice a year for this.

I got up & dressed for an at home appointment. I had the appointment & went out to run errands. I walked to drop off donations, recycling & got snacks from a corner store. I also got a new to me jacket out of the donations. It's soft & has long sleeves & pockets! I unboxed & assembled my work equipment. I am starting a new wfh job on monday so I have a company monitor, laptop, etc. I have most of it done. I would like to mount the monitor on the arm I have, if I can.

I still need to make rice pudding for a make ahead breakfast but I may take a nap first.

Done!

Today Doug picked up the Gorilla dump cart, which holds 9 cubic feet, at Costco. We managed to shove it onto our trolley and haul it into the garden shed for later assembly. \o/

Go you!

I admire people who go biking in the cold.

I made it home after a long day of traveling.

[nanila]

Well done!

This sounds like a extraordinarily productive day! I hope you got your nap in.

That looks like a very useful gizmo. I hope it has a long service life.

I get my nap in & I made rice pudding along side dinner. Yay time management so I didn't have to stand in the kitchen longer then needed.

It is an awesome product. We assembled it today! We feel very accomplished. :D It only took us about 2 hours total. I wasn't sure we could finish it in a day, but it's among the easier projects we have assembled. This will make hauling cut grass and branches much easier.

The parts are all super sturdy. The hardware came vacuum-sealed to a card numbered by the assembly steps. The bucket has holes in the sides for a top cage. Alas, the company doesn't sell a top cage accessory. :( But they do sell all the loose parts for the cart, so if anything breaks, it can be replaced and repaired. \o/ I am a big fan of fixable tech.

Also this style of cart comes in multiple sizes so there's one for most purposes. They make a few other types too.

Remembered to close out my time sheet appropriately before the end of the month.

Ensuring you're remunerated properly is a wonderful thing. Go you!

That looks way easier to deal with than a wheelbarrow.

[gingicat]

Yay!

[gingicat]

Excellent!

It feels easier, although we haven't loaded it yet. The front axle pivots so turning should be easier.

I suspect the main disadvantage will be that a heavier load will be more challenging to dump. But not having to lift one end off the ground and haul it that way will be easier.
