Day 36

First things first - the new light bulb worked.  In fact, it's a lot brighter than the old one.  I love it when a plan comes together.

The weather was a lot nicer than yesterday, cloudy in the low 70's.  So I finished the mowing.  There were no more problems with the belt because I was careful to slowly engage and disengage the blades.  After that I aired up the tires on the truck.  It was giving me an error for the right back (it was low).  I'll have to keep watch on it.

I decided that I'd get the rest of the yard work done.  I got out the pole saw and trimmed back all of the trees that were threatening the trailer.  Unfortunately the saw broke.  I tried to fix it, but it didn't work.  I'll need a new one.

When mowing the back 40 I noticed that the door to the storage shed was open.  Everything looked alright, so  just closed it.  After the tree trimming I used the tractor and the cart to haul the mower lift to the storage shed.  It was taking up too much room in the garage.  I couldn't open the door, it acted locked.  I went and got the key box, but couldn't get any keys into the lock because it was too corroded.  So I spray a bunch of Kroil in it.  The door knob turned then.  It had just been too corroded to turn.

The water guy was supposed to come between 10 and 2 today.  He didn't show.  They called at 2:30 to say they weren't coming.  They rescheduled for next Tuesday, 2 to 6.  We'll see.

After the garbage men came by I cut up the two big boxes we had and put them in the can.  It's now at least half full.

Lucy had been a good dog all day.  So we went to the post office and Walmart to pick up more drugs.  I also got a lighted tree and a lighted blue ball.  On the way home we started at the park.  It was cloudy and 74, so it was perfect for Lucy.  She had a good time doing retrieves.

When we got home I hung up the blue ball.  It looks great.  I haven't looked at the tree yet.  We're having the typical Castle marathon while I wait for football.
