It sounded so simple

I'm in the process of getting some things painted outside so they'll be ready for next spring's garden.

This is part one, and thankfully, I can say it is finished.

I gathered all the 1 x 2 garden stakes to trim and paint them so they won't rot so easily while being used in-ground. Simple right? No. I got them all together, washed them, cut off the rotted part on some them, culled the ones that needed it. Sorted them by size, started painting them and realized there are over 100 stakes here.

I know that I am 50 and live with a couple of really painful nerve diseases, but somewhere in my evaluation of time process - I must still think I am 20 and can still move mountains or something. I figured 3 days tops and the stakes would all be painted. Wrong. 9 days later...
