Day 762

We woke up about 7:30, but didn't get out of bed until after 8.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.

After breakfast I went out to finish the yard work.  The new trimmer works well.  It's probably as much effort as the old one because ti's heavy.  It's faster though, and doesn't kill my back.  I still had to do a few areas with the weed eater, but they were pretty limited.

Since I had the cords out I decided to finish the tree trimming also.  I cut a bunch of branches off a big dead tree in the side yard.  I also trimmed several trees that had branches overhanging the parking area.  Finally I cut down the dead tree beside the driveway that was starting to lean towads the driveway.  That whole effort took until 11:30.

While I was doing that Ellen was trimming all of the overgrown bushes in the back yard.  We need them all cut back so that we can get the house painted.  I actually finished a little before she did, but she started after I did.

It was 75 degrees and 75% humidity, so I was hot and sweaty when I was done.  So I took a shower before lunch.

After lunch we went to the post office.  After that I got a haircut.  After 6 weeks I was getting pretty shaggy.  When that was done we went to Sam's club and bought some apple cider and some cornbread.  Then it was home.

The rest of the afternoon was surfing.  The evening was surfing and football.
