As usual, it’s a PG-13 rated flick.

Wish Madeleine a Happy Birthday…

We used the Flip to record some of the happenings for Coleman’s 13th birthday. Warning: This is rated PG13.

MrG has this thing about training animals that are not normally in need of training. Say, a chick or fish.

I’m on vacation. I needed a break from the Accounting department in a big way and it seemed this week was the only one available to me for quite some time. Busy times at work.

Today, I decided to pull the trigger on purchasing a proper grass trimmer. I spend too much, but I needed to gain control. Sadly, I suck and trimming around trees, stumps and rocks. I sucked at it when I was 16 too. Anyway, I went with a near-professional model. I have finally realized that purchasing suburban tools is a waste of money.

Included with my purchase was a fancy compound limb cutter. I put it to good use. I clipped low hanging limbs in the front yard. When Robinson returned from the office, I proudly showed off my work.

She got a sad look on her face when she saw what I had done to our pear tree. Apparently it will no longer bear fruit. Damn. She said the yard looked better though.

I did do one thing right today: I recycled one computer and three monitors. And, I delivered the dry sink to Goodwill. Nothing makes Robinson happier than seeing my old computer junk carted out the door.

Between the pickup and new-to-me Toro garden tractor, I am getting some serious work done on the yard. I still have Kubota envy… maybe fantasy. As I mow the lawn, I see so many places a compact tractor with all the attachments would help me converge reality and fantasy. It also wouldn’t hurt to have a half-dozen stumps ground to pulp.
