I got out of bed as soon as the alarm went off. I fed the animals and ate breakfast. Then I went out to finish the trimming. I wanted to get it done early, so we could go to some get together at 10:30. I barely made it. The reason was that I ran out of line. I had some in the garage, but it took some time to install it in the trimmer. Later I had to take it apart to clear grass out of it so that it would let out more line. I did get finished in time to take a shower and be ready to leave by 10:20.
Even though it was early, it was still in the 80's and really humid. It feels really good to have that part of the job done. I prepared for mowing by putting the mower battery on a charger and the gas can in the truck.
We went to the ceremony. It was some sort of Boy Scout thing dedicating a plaques at the North Madrone entrance. We didn't bother to stop. Instead we went to the post office and the Donut Palace. We got some really good egg and bacon croissants. Then we stopped at Home Depot and Lowe's. Neither one had the right kind of trimmer string.
It was only noon when we got home. I ordered the string on Amazon. Then I did some surfing and reading. It got up to 103 today, so we just hid out from the heat. I think we're going to do a lot of that over the next few months.
We spent the entire evening watching TV.
