Walk! Yard! Azalea! Bank! UPS! 8.16.23

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:49 pm  

Started the procedure to return the wifi extender back to Amazon.

OYB!

EspaƱol!

Beautiful clouds!

Walked 2.79 miles while I studied.


Once I finished walking up and down my hill fifteen times, I finished trimming my back yard. I had fun listening to music while I worked.

Like the last couple of days, I split the time between picking up limbs and hauling them to my recycle area and cutting the plants.

The back yard was very overgrown.

I kept stomping my feet really hard on the ground to scare away any snakes. That’s my main motivation for keeping my yard trimmed up: anti-snake. Another reason I feed opossums and raccoons. Both of them kill snakes.

I ended up working over two hours and walked another 1.31 miles.

The last little bit of the job. Amen. It was surprisingly cool today. What a relief!

Finished product. Every year the monkey grass continues to spread out. Keeping it trimmed helps the grass by getting rid of the weeds that starve them for light.

In this picture, you can see where I take all the sticks and limbs. Eventually, the mycelium will make them all disappear. It’s amazing. Same thing for all the leaves. Over time, they produce rich soil.

I set a fifteen minute timer to take water breaks. That made a big difference in feeling better. That and being so much cooler today.

The lower humidity made a big difference.

I worked on canceling my previous life insurance today. I left two messages for the agent to cancel it. Never could get through to him. Hopefully, tomorrow he’ll leave a message and say it’s been done. I’ll keep trying.

Deposited a check. Amen.

Dropped off the wifi extender at the UPS store.

Helped the kids at the mission. There were a lot but most of them are camera shy.

I took the training wheels off a bike of one of the kids. He just took off riding! Impressive!

Keep pushing. I doubt Cathy will be able to keep up. At least not by comparing it with her work last week.
