Thursday, mowing

Today, we were back to hot and muggy in Michigan. I stopped on the way home and filled my gas can. Thursday night means grass cutting!

So, after changing clothes, I went out to the garage. There is, of course, the small matter of a 4 x 8 foot trailer blocking the mower in! So, I got some wrenches and put the front wheel/stand back on. Then I stuck the wood sides back in their brackets (but did not screw them down). Finally, I got a padlock and made damn sure I had the key for it! Then I locked the receiver and dragged the trailer out and around to the concrete slab in back. I didn't put the tarp back on, but since I covered the whole thing with Thompson's Water Seal last year, it can take a few days in the weather.

I checked the oil and filled the mower with gas, and then fired it up. I got all the lawn cut (but not trimmed, of course) by 8:20 PM.

I warmed up the last of the hot dogs for dinner. I checked the TV listings and nothing caught my eye. So, I read in bed until I fell asleep.
