Home in Houston, and it is more grey on the way. Got a smattering of drops yesterday, after the huge storm blew through around 5am… but we even had some sun too. In any case it dried out enough I could mow. Mostly dried out…<\/p>\n
And by mostly I mean ‘not really’ but I cut the hill on an angle, so I didn’t need the brakes as much, and I only spun the wheels a few times when turning back up hill…. the grass came out in lumpy chunks. In the end, the lawn looked pretty good short, and it should stay ok looking for a while.<\/p>\n
I also did a bunch of sprinkler work. I ran hoses and put up “impact” sprinkler heads. I dug up the yard where water was coming from the ground and fixed a pipe. Then I fixed another place on the pipe, and tightened two other joints on the pipe… I didn’t quite get all the areas I wanted to get covered, but I’ll tune it next visit. <\/p>\n
Took a while to get cleaned up, put stuff away, and prep the house for some alone time. <\/p>\n
I finally got home about 1030pm. Didn’t see many wrecks or pulled over vehicles, did see a lot of cops on the road. Maybe they were effective preventing the drunk driving extravaganza this year.<\/p>\n

\nSpring Break is over for my kids and we’re back to school today. Early to rise…<\/p>\n

\nI’ve got auction stuff to do today, and some follow up from the hamfest. I promised two guys I’d look for stuff in my storage, and both called me to see if I looked yet. I better look. Then I have at least one pickup locally. Three more pickups later in the week too. I won some good stuff, and at rock bottom prices. Dunno what happened to the other bidders, or maybe I just want stuff no one else wants.<\/p>\n
Either way, I have a bunch of small stuff to get.<\/p>\n
—————
\nI’d like to drop off some stuff too, but we’ll see if he has room for it. And the normal chores have piled up while I was gone. Gonna be busy for a couple of days.<\/p>\n
Stack something for yourself, and something for your loved ones. You’ll feel very satisfied when you don’t have to shop at the last minute for that special something…<\/p>\n
And you’ll be glad you stacked when you open the beans to go with the road kill stew…<\/p>\n
