It was pretty dark when I finished so I bet it looks bad.  The grass was about 18&#8243; on the side area and I mostly pushed it over with the mower.   It has to look better than the overgrowth.

Weather permitting.<\/p>\n<p>And if the weather is nice, I&#8217;ll do outdoor stuff, including hanging some cameras and pulling cat cable, as well as getting the mower serviced and put to good use.  If it&#8217;s not nice, I&#8217;ll do inside stuff.  There is plenty to do.<\/p>\n<p>Too much really.  I need to find some stuff to outsource.  I can&#8217;t do it all, even if I could do the work.
