The weather finally perked up a bit today, which was a nice departure from what has been the norm as of late. There was sun. At least for part of the day. The temperature got up to around normal again (80-ish), too. It actually felt more like summer than it has for the last week.
I took time to mow the longest parts of the lawn when I got home from work. I didn’t have much gas left in the mower (and I didn’t really want to drive into town to fill the can), so I only did about half of the mowable lawn. But I did the parts that had been watered for a week before we got cooler temperatures and then an inch-and-a-half of rain. It was interesting. I’ll have to mow the rest of the lawn at some point in time (not sure when), and re-mow what I did today, but at least I won’t have to bale the portions I did.
I also need to do some mower deck work and probably blade sharpening. I’ve noticed it before, but it was very obvious today in the tallest grass — I’ve got one blade in particular that doesn’t cut well at all. I’m not exactly sure why yet, but it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to sharpen my other blade set and put them on for the remainder of the season. That’ll be a project for this weekend, perhaps.
Aside from that it was a pretty quiet day. I haven’t added more historical posts to the blog here; that’ll come tomorrow or later this week. I just want to make a post that doesn’t require word verification (a CAPTCHA) for the time being. I had to manually ‘hack’ together last night’s post.
So, I’m going to keep this post short and will update more tomorrow. I fully expect to either work on the wiring in our bedroom or clean the cistern tomorrow (or both), so I’m sure there will be bits to update about that.
Until next time…
