YES! Of course you have to call them projects or the honey do list will
consume all your quality time.

Exactly. Though you may need to come up with a bit of BS explanation if
somebody gets close enough to identify the object(s). For example: that was
NOT a disintegrating paper bag of evaporated milk cans emerging from the
snow. It was an experiment in the practical application of an
organo-metallic, bio-oxidization thermal generation unit for accelerated
snow liquification as applied to self sustainable rural subsistance
economics.

Now, doesn't that sound better? And who in their right mind is going to ask
another silly question like "what's that"?
