We woke up at a reasonable time, but we stayed in bed for quite awhile. It just didn't seem to be necessary to get up. After breakfast the first thing I did was go look at the well house pipe. There's water on the floor, but the patch seems to be dry. I'm going to look again tomorrow.
I wanted to mow the lawn, but the battery was dead. It lost 75% of its charge in less than two weeks. So I put it on the fast charger. It took 45 minutes, but then it was charged enough to use.
I mowed the whole place. I didn't try to do a real neat job, but I did knock down all of the high stuff. When I finished the front yard and moved to the back the blades stopped turning. Crap. I drove back to the garage and put the mower up on the ramps to look under it. The belt had slipped off a pulley. I had Ellen come out to help me figure out how to fix it. Fortunately it wasn't very hard to do once I figured it out. It cost time in the hot sun though.
While I was doing this I got a look at the blades. They are truly trashed. The end of one is bent up like a potato chip.
I finished the yard and then went in for a shower. I was covered with sweat, dust, and a couple of bugs.
After the shower we went to the post office. It was packed. There weren't any empty spots in the parking lot. After that we stopped at Randell's for some limes (mojitos) and Costco for some water. Then it was home.
The rest of the day was surfing, reading, and TV.
