Day 3267

 I woke up at 7:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When breakfast was over I went outside to trim the lawn.

The effort didn't start out well.  I needed to put new line in the string trimmer.  That turned out to be a mess.  The instructions on how to do it left much to be desired.  I ended up "loading" the line, taking the edger out, and finding out that the line feed didn't work.  The line cutter didn't work either.

After three attempts to load the line and two attempts to improve the line cutter I finally had a working string trimmer.  After that things went pretty smoothly except that it was hot, dirty, and tiring work.  I also had to change batteries 3 times.

One real pain: when I got to the septic field the trimmer kept throwing goat heads at me.  They would stick to my shirt and cause pain.  Then they'd cause more pain as I pulled them off my shirt.

When I finished the trimming I got out the blower and blew all of the debris off the gravel and sidewalk.  That was it.  I officially done with the lawn and landscaping stuff.  I have three items left to do.  One is move the Ranger out of the car port and put the truck in.  Another is to wash the truck and the front of the trailer.  The final is to remove the sensors from the trailer wheels so Ellen can program them.  I'll do some of them tomorrow.

The whole effort took almost 4 hours.  I went back into the house and surfed for a while.  Then I had a sandwich for lunch.  After lunch I shopped, buying a few things that we need around the house.  Then I surfed some more.  Ellen was watching some historical soap drama on Netflix.

When the soap opera was over I switched to videos for the rest of the day.  Dinner was a salad.
