I was tired from yesterday's tree cutting, so I decided not to do a lot today. The day started off a little rocky. The switch to my toothbrush broke. Sigh. That meant we were going to need to go to Costco.
We started off by going to Lowe's to get a new hose so Ellen would have a better branch burning experience. I also got a cord plug so that I could repair the power cord that I cut yesterday. Then we stopped at Costco and picked up a new toothbrush and some more drinks. It's Costco, so we had to by a package of two toothbrushes - $99. Oh well.
On the way home we stopped at a pizza place where Lucy could sit outside with us. Then we took her to the park to do retrieves. I threw them until she was tired.
After we got back I replaced the hose and fixed the cord. I still felt guilty about not working. So I spent some time sorting the clothes in my closet. I packed away some that I'm too fat to wear and unpacked some I bought from Oregon. When I got finished with that it had cooled down, so I spent an hour cutting up the branches and trunk from the second tree.
Just as it was getting dark I went over to the apartment. I noticed that the dead tree by the trailer is actually being held up by a live tree it's leaning against. If the live tree wasn't there, the dead tree would fall hitting the apartment and the apartment's sewer system. I'm going to have to deal with that tomorrow. It won't be easy. The tree is big, 10 to 12 inches. It's also high, probably close to 20 feet. I think I have a plant to deal with it though.
