Cutting the grass

I stopped at Home Depot at lunchtime on Wednesday and bought a new flag. Mine was faded and starting to rip in spots.

After eating, I was just about to leave for work when the guy who cut my grass showed up. I gave him the $30.00 and told him he did a great job. Turns out he not only cut the lawn (with a grass catcher, as I suspected) but he also trimmed it all and then blew off the porch (including the spider webs) and the driveway! Now that $30.00 seems pretty reasonable.

When I got home after work, I treated the cats, changed clothes and then watched the news until 6:00 PM. I then went out and hung up my new flag.

I gassed up the lawn tractor, filled up the low tire and checked the oil. Then I headed out back and cut the lawn. I finished up just before 8:00 PM.

I reheated the shrimp scampi for my dinner, but it never tastes as good the next day. The shrimp get a little rubbery from being reheated.

I went to bed at 10:00 but slept lousy all night.
