Perfect weather. I just kept going and going. Hardly even got sweaty. Incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started my afternoon repairing my trimmer guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to do the hardest thing about a project first. Today that was trimming the holly bushes in the front yard by the car port. They are just so stickery! It’s like working with cactus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I trimmed branches off around ten trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think they turned out looking pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got the trimmer guard back on. Worked great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I put a lot of limbs, sticks and branches into my recycling area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still figuring out the best ways to work with the trimmer. Adding the strap really helped make the job more comfortable. I still want to add the cinch straps so I don’t have to keep pushing the on button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So much of the job was cleaning ivy off of the fences. That and a lot of sticker vines. I wore out a pair of gloves doing it today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used my mitre saw to trim branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive branch fell. Super heavy. I managed to drag it up the hill to put it in the recycle area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walked 1.59 miles doing the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Listened to music for the first three hours of yard work. Ate lunch and then listened to Don Cheto while I labored. Worked over six hours in all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big part of the job was trimming the grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow is the final day of the Diamond Tournament on Duolingo. We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
