Thank goodness it’s Friday. Work was really getting to me this week. Big projects galore and I don’t feel I have enough time to work on them. LDAP … new website … computer lab updates. … oh yeah, and I’m supposed to supervise technicians doing a campus-wide computer inventory. Yay! (attempts to pull remainder of hair on head out).
I mowed lawn again tonight. This was after I actually figured out how to change the oil in the mower. This is the first time I’ve had to deal with an oil plug that you needed to insert something square into to get it to turn (most plugs have squares that stick out rather than in). I discovered that a 3/8″ (or was it 1/2?) socket extension fit into it rather nicely. My lawnmower is now happy ‘cuz it has new oil and I cleaned all the crap off the bottom of it (it was growing spores!)
I had a chat with my neighbor Greg. He’s a nice fellow. I might borrow his truck tomorrow afternoon and take care of some branches and grass clippings from a few weeks ago. Apparently it’s “Good Neighbor Days” in Roberts this weekend. I had forgotten about that. We got on the subject of tractor pulls … seems he enjoys them. He mentioned that Grantsburg has lawnmower drag races. Personally, I think someone who drives a lawnmower (stock steering and tires) at 87 miles per hour is just a bit off their rocker. Greg said alcohol is generally a contributing factor in having the balls th drive something like that. It’s tempting to go to the NTPA Grand National pull in Tomah June 21-23. Anybody interested in going? More info at the website.
I think I might actually be in bed by 10:30 tonight. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe it just means that I have no life since my angel (Liz love, that’s you) is not here.
