Worked My Shift At The Grocery Store Then Worked On The Cabin

Worked my usual 11pm to 730am shift at Safeway stocking the shelves. Jenny and Keith are the old timers on my team. After we stock the shelves we perform "facing" which means we straighten the product on each shelf so they face perfectly out front for the consumer.

I could not believe how OCD and anal you have to be in order to "face" correctly! Keith would go behind me to see if I was performing the work competently. He told me I have to do a better job at making sure the items touch the very next item...no gaps are allowed.

Both Jenny and Keith are great people with Keith being the 40 something edgy guy who spends his off time busy preparing for a holocaust either natural or man-made. In short he is a "prepper". In fact, he thought I was a fellow prepper after he found out I was building a cabin in the forest. Explained to him my situation and why I'm living a nomadic lifestyle. He thought it would be a fulfilling life and I agreed wholeheartly with his conclusion.

After work I went home and slept for 3 hours then went to Bell Mountain and helped Bruce Bell complete the west gable end. We were both too tired to doing any " chinking".

I have tonight off so I'm going to go back to bed and rest up for my Melodrama rehearsal tomorrow night at 7pm.

Bruce and I discussed the use of metaphor in the Bible such as God's throne. He's Spirit so how can he sit upon a throne...must be a figure of speech and not a literal Throne.  And, Bruce doesn't believe Christ remained a human being after he ascended to Heaven...so we argued about that while screwing in the gable clapboards. All in all we both have a great time working together.

Pics show the front or east elevation which has been chinked. Some pics show gussets which will act as hurricane clips to keep the roof from flying off during the occasional 90mph winds that roar down through the canyon walls.

Time to go now need my sleep!
