5:48 a.m. - Yesterday was productive. I went to check out that weed cutter, and I bought it. It's an old one, but it works like it should, and I was able to knock down a big portion of the south swamp on our lot. It did take a little getting used to, and now I just need more dry weather to dry out the rest of the swamp, so I can get to it. If I can't, I'm going to have to use the Stihl weed wacker, and that's a lot of work. I'm hoping to maybe use that today to get to the ditch.
Also yesterday, I picked up some paving base and worked on the paving blocks underneath the pergola. That wasn't an easy job either, but it needed to be done.
Amber and I headed to the casino, where we played awhile but neither was a winner. Dang the luck. Oh, before that we cooked some brats and pork chops on the grill, and that was good.
One problem I do have right now is a cash-flow problem....the old budget isn't doing so well. I've been spending too much money to meet the income level. I'm going to have to get some extra umpiring work in somehow.
