Home in Houston, and it is more grey on the way. Got a smattering of drops yesterday, after the huge storm blew through around 5am… but we even had some sun too. In any case it dried out enough I could mow. Mostly dried out…
And by mostly I mean ‘not really’ but I cut the hill on an angle, so I didn’t need the brakes as much, and I only spun the wheels a few times when turning back up hill…. the grass came out in lumpy chunks. In the end, the lawn looked pretty good short, and it should stay ok looking for a while.
I also did a bunch of sprinkler work. I ran hoses and put up “impact” sprinkler heads. I dug up the yard where water was coming from the ground and fixed a pipe. Then I fixed another place on the pipe, and tightened two other joints on the pipe… I didn’t quite get all the areas I wanted to get covered, but I’ll tune it next visit.
Took a while to get cleaned up, put stuff away, and prep the house for some alone time.
I finally got home about 1030pm. Didn’t see many wrecks or pulled over vehicles, did see a lot of cops on the road. Maybe they were effective preventing the drunk driving extravaganza this year.

Spring Break is over for my kids and we’re back to school today. Early to rise…

I’ve got auction stuff to do today, and some follow up from the hamfest. I promised two guys I’d look for stuff in my storage, and both called me to see if I looked yet. I better look. Then I have at least one pickup locally. Three more pickups later in the week too. I won some good stuff, and at rock bottom prices. Dunno what happened to the other bidders, or maybe I just want stuff no one else wants.
Either way, I have a bunch of small stuff to get.

I’d like to drop off some stuff too, but we’ll see if he has room for it. And the normal chores have piled up while I was gone. Gonna be busy for a couple of days.
Stack something for yourself, and something for your loved ones. You’ll feel very satisfied when you don’t have to shop at the last minute for that special something…
And you’ll be glad you stacked when you open the beans to go with the road kill stew…
