6:31 a.m. - All good things must come to an end, right? So Summer Break 2023 is winding down, but there is still a week left. I'm supposed to umpire today, but we received a lot of rain yesterday, so that may not happen. I still need to go get my car and get my umpiring gear loaded up. Other than that, today's schedule is a little up in the air. I may run over to Jack and Rhonda's and help them get their hot tub set up.
Yesterday, I was able to get some things done...the big one was mow the yard. The other big one was to get a look at the back yard and ditch, pay Brandon for his excavating work, and then get an idea of the path forward. Brandon did a lot of dirt moving while we were gone to Mexico, and now it's time to figure out what to do next. Basically Brandon dug trenches to try to help the water flow out of the back "swamp". I was able to mow back there a little yesterday around the piles of dirt that exist. I think the plan is to wait until the fall and use the piles of dirt that now exist to fill in low spots in other places on the property. Brandon said there is a guy in the neighborhood that may be able to do that for a pretty reasonable price. I'm wondering if I can just do it myself with a good old fashion shovel and wheel barrow. Or better yet, I'm wondering if I can use my mom and dad's tractor - actually, that might be the ticket.
Last night we did go to the casino - that didn't go well. Amber did well, though, and we got some ice cream and Shivers and Shakes, so that was good.
