Labor Day Weekend
Let me tell you, Dennis and I are into this Labor Day weekend with full steam ahead.
We have our acreage mowed.
Today was the first time since early 2023 that Dennis could use the Cub. An oil situation took it out of commission into the 2024 year. What threatened to be a very expense fix was not to be. We hauled it over to Kevin’s Garage in Fairfax. We believe he had a fix on the repair before we made it back to St. James. Thanks be for logic and we must not discount Kersten’s tiny hands to get to where they were needed.
Last weekend Dennis’ grandson AJ came and helped Dennis get the mower deck back on.
Today, I used the zero-turn and with Dennis on the Cub we made very good time. The Cub is not a mower for turning short where trimming is needed. That is where I came in. Other than our east area to mow is rough, it all works and the job gets done. With the inch of rain, we thought the ground would be soft. Not in the least.
Our tree dump is really busy today as the street past our home is evidence.
We are not going anywhere this weekend as they are saying, the traveling will be massive on the highways.
Sell-by dates . . . how serious are they? Truth or fiction. I have taken to put some cream in my coffee. It is the highest form of good fat in the diet . . . just let me get by with that one, okay? This morning the cream carton was empty. I vaguely remembered that up in the cupboard was a container of Nestle Carnation powered creamer. I used some in my left-over breakfast coffee when I was done mowing. As I was sipping on the coffee, it came to mind where the sell by date was on the container. I found it. It was on the bottom. Get ready folks . . . November 2004. Hmm. It’s not in the same category as C-rations, but close.
With that I take my leave. ♥
