76F and 96%RH.\u00a0 Forecast calls for clear to partly cloudy and hot.\u00a0 Last night was gorgeous.\u00a0 Gentle breeze, and nicely cool.\u00a0 New water feature burbling away….<\/p>\n
One of the things I got done yesterday was to add the pump and filter to the wife’s water feature in front of the house.\u00a0\u00a0 Very pleasant to sit there and listen to the sound of the moving water. Not so pleasant to hear the frog which has already taken up residence hammering away, calling to mates or rivals.<\/p>\n
I got one of the chainsaws to start and run briefly.\u00a0 I’ll be looking at the carb on that one first as I know now that it has a good fuel line, starter, and spark.\u00a0 One very common failure is that the fuel pickup line rots and falls off in the tank.\u00a0\u00a0 That is a finicky fix but simple in concept.\u00a0 Never thought I’d be doing small engine repair for fun.<\/p>\n
Kids are home this week.\u00a0 We thought a ‘chill’ week would be nice before starting the summer “camps” which babysit them for daylight hours.\u00a0 With both parents working a whole industry has developed that provides “edutainment” options for daycare during the summer.\u00a0 Home care to daycare to day camps to intensive supplemental school programs.\u00a0 Decline of home time and decline of school systems combining to suck money out of parents pockets which makes them work harder and longer….\u00a0 hmm, almost like it was planned.\u00a0 Too many people making money off of it for any real change.<\/p>\n
And swim team practice every morning for a couple of hours.\u00a0 Last year they were in the same group.\u00a0 This year I get to sit there for two groups…<\/p>\n
And people need breakfast so I better get going.<\/p>\n
