Cooled Down Over the Weekend............

and we almost froze when it dropped to the 60s all day Sunday. Good time to cool down for me as I massacred the oleanders........an unpleasant task that has to be done before we head South for the winter. Went out and bought a little electric chain saw on Saturday and slaughtered the oldeanders.............then I got a call from a kid who wanted to know if I still needed some help with the yard work. A little too late I told him. My problem now is getting rid of the residue.........filled up the yard debris container and it was hauled away today; but, they only haul yard debris every other week. Guess I'll have to fill it up again and again and maybe again; but, we'll be gone before that last "again".

Not moving too fast today...........all that bending and stooping to cut and pick up the oleanders sure tightened up my leg muscles! I'm so out of shape that I'm mostly deformed! Old age sucks.

As you can tell by lack of "blogging" nothing much is going on around here...........just trying to beat the heat the last 10 days or so and now we have a little bit of a cool down. Still gotta get one of the M/H jacks fixed and waiting for a call from the repair shop so I can take it over to Chico. Finally sold my Honda (on an "easy pay" plan with one of the neighbors) so actually I'll simply be "trading" my Honda for a new jack...........money for Honda will about cover price of fixing the jack. So it goes.

Becky went shopping in Chico yesterday while I watched Sunday football and she came back having "saved" a ton of money. She added about 10 new shirts to the 65 or so that's hanging in the closet...........at least it was quite and peaceful while I took in Sunday football.

Been "bruised" a little at casino; but, not too badly. Win some and lose some...........my goal is to break even 'cause I "need" the money. Later. W&B
