Quiet Sunday

Another sluggish and unproductive morning. MSF and YouTube until close to ten. When I got up I had a relaxing, hot shower and then got dressed for success. Next I decided that I needed to make an elaborate breakfast. Partly because the pastry and the sausage had been in the fridge for a long time and partly because I wanted to eat a lot in one sitting. I whipped up some breakfast bites. These were of course filled with my usual breakfast filling of bacon, chorizo, eggs, and cheese. You’ve heard me talk about it before. I’ve even posted a couple videos on my YouTube channel about it. Anyways, I ate some of that pile pictured below and stored the rest for later. They’d have to be eaten today because I was hitting the road for a good spell tomorrow and they aren’t good to eat cold while driving.

After a short recovery period and then doing the many, many dishes, I went out to the garage to get ready to try something new. I got geared up with some PPE and took my new weed whacker out for a spin. I went around the entire house with it, barely losing much string. Then I did around the fence and under the deck. It was fantastic and really cleaned up the edges. I also did some of the edges of the driveway, not turned over as you would with a proper edger but just to trim down some spots that were getting unruly. I took the battery off the trimmer and put it in the blower and cleaned up that mess, just to see how well it would work. It worked amazing. Next I mowed the lawn. It went much faster and was more enjoyable. Usually I have to be careful around the edges and go over spots twice. Not this time! I just ripped along and it was done before I knew it. I really enjoyed the experience for once. I used the blower again to clean up and it was just starting to lose power as I finished up. I think that battery lasted nearly an hour. I’m very happy with my new toys. And the yard looks slightly tighter. Now if I could get rid of the weeds I’d be all set. I think I’ve got the fertility ramping back up, just need to repair the grass and I’ll have a formidable yard again.

I was pretty sweaty and winded after finishing up the yard work so I went to the cool basement to recover. I watched a small amount of Money Heist before returning to my computer to work on some of the missing MSC challenges. I got it caught up and watched some YouTube. Some MSF followed. I was really into my audiobook so I did some tidying and cleaning around the house to keep listening to it. No vacuuming, which is overdue. That thing is too loud to enjoy my book while using. Eventually I made a meal of the leftover breakfast bites. There wasn’t much productive done later in the day. I got my bags packed up around seven and then packed up some of my toys too. I called Admiral Bonesaw after he put his girls to bed to wish him a happy birthday and we had an hour worth of chat about various topics. Eventually I tried to get to sleep early with moderate success. There was a big drive in my future and I needed to get some rest. It was shortly after ten when I found sleep, after an hour of trying.
