Monday, September 7

5:22 a.m. - I didn't sleep well last night.  Maybe that's because I was feeling a little sore from trying to run/jog at Loud Thunder yesterday.  It was good for me, but it was hard.  I just need to try to keep losing weight to get lighter.   

Yesterday was positive.  After soaking in the hot tub, I headed to Loud Thunder and tried to do some jogging on the trail between the ranger office and the horse corral campground.  It was rough, but I got through it.  Plus, it was tough on the legs and particularly my left ankle.  Despite the ankle soreness, I worked on the yard when I got home.  I did some weed whacking with the Stihl and got a lot done.  I also jumped on the mower and mowed the back part of the south portion of the yard.  Finally, I attempted to experiment with the 4-gallon sprayer that was Patrick's.  I tried the new chemical I purchased and hope that it's effective against all the creeping Charlie in the yard.  I had to learn a little how to use the thing, and it I was able to definitely use it for while.  Now I am just waiting to see how effective it's going to be.  After that effort, I headed to mom's to help her get some hay from Mary's.

One other thing I did yesterday was to take some pictures for the RV guy to see if I can get him here to work on the camper.  I hope to hear back from him today regarding a specific date and time he can work on the slide wipers.

After getting back from mom and dad's, I watched college football.  Notre Dame struggled in the first half, but they did beat Wisconsin at Lambeau Field - pulling away in the second half.

And today?  I would like to get lunch with Chase.  I have a softball match at Alleman.  And Amber is returning from Florida today.  I would also like to get in the hot tub again, and stretch, and get some sort of morning exercise.  I think I'm also going to close up the camper - yesterday I had opened it up to let it air out.  Forecast is calling for heat to return tomorrow followed by rain showers on Tuesday night.  I also would like to do some additional weed whacking on the north south ditch.
