Where We Left Off

Picking up where I left off yesterday, including the back pain. Ouch.

Pick Up the Tempo

Pick up the tempo, teach, it’s gonna rain!

Mallets

Dig that bad ass mallet playing step son of mine.

Skin or No?

The whole front of the house has been mowed. Next is the side and then the back. Speaking of backs, mine hurts a lot. When I say a lot I mean a ton. When I say a ton I mean a mountain range sized hurt. I took some Tylenol an hour ago. Just imagine how much this would hurt without it. Yikes.

Slight subject change. What is this?

I often find garter snakes hanging out on the lawn mower when I bring it out. There was a little guy on it today, in fact. My first thought was this thing is a snake skin. Now I’m not sure. Now I think it’s some kind of coating that used to be on the pull starter’s rope.

Either way, it’s a backyard mystery.

Cut

Today is the day you die, tall grass. Today is the day I cut you down.

My name is Robert the Red head. You made my yard look ugly. Prepare to die.

Ya Take the Good Ya Take the Bad

My father coming home from the hospital was good. Everything else today was kinda shitty. For example, the minute I got home tonight this little animal barfed all over the place.

But, as a wise television show about teenage girls once taught us, you take the good… you take the bad… you take them both and then you have… the facts of life. Yeah, the facts of life.

Savior

This stupid little thing is the only thing keeping me from jumping off the roof when I work from my parents’ house.

The breeze it produces is gentle yet glorious.

12 Pack Fail

Picked up a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi from the cabinet in the dining room. Started walking to the back door so I could put it in the car and take it to Mom’s house….

Rrrrrrrrrip.

Crash.
