I woke up about 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was going to be a nice day. It was over 60 when I got up. I decided today should be a chore day.
I started by adding a connection for the body lights on the Power Wagon. This turned out to be a simple job. I went out to the garage, got the connection wire, and installed it.
When that was done I went back out to the garage and broke down the box the Christmas tree came in. This was a heavy duty container. It consisted of a large outside box with another reinforced box inside it. I had to cut down both boxes in order to fit them in the recycle. They took up at least 3/4 of it. I finished up by taking some old wood scraps to the garbage. They've been sitting in a corner of the garage for years.
After that I got out the new Dremel hedge trimmer and got to work. I started by cutting back the bush on the deck. I also cleaned up all of the leaves on the deck. That ended up being two loads of stuff. Then I started on the trees in front. I cut away the branches from the house. After that I started cutting all of the trees that were encroaching on the driveway. I don't want to tear the trailer roof again.
I got about 3/4 of the way done when I had to stop for lunch. Also I was too tired to continue. I went inside and had a sandwich. Then I surfed for a little while. I really needed to sit in the recliner, so I switched to videos. That turned into a nap.
I went outside to finish up when Ellen left for the club. The rest and nap really helped. I got the rest of the pruning done without too much difficulty. The end result will make for a much better journey when we leave in the Spring.
I went back inside and surfed until Ellen came home. Dinner was a frozen thing. After dinner was a football game. It was actually a really good game. I just didn't care who won.
All in all I'm proud of myself. I got a lot of work done today. At least it was a lot of work for an old man. I'm really beginning to feel my age.
