My Day, Let me tell you of it.

Generally I don't post "my life" sorts of things on the blog, but it's been quiet lately, so might as well chatter a moment.

Today was supposed to be part of a quiet weekend. Zach and Cat are up in Maine, and I have the house to myself. I figured I'd do a couple small projects, some gaming, some normal Cohousing socializing, and generally take it easy.

Today I:

• Dug a pair of holes where we'll be putting up poles for clotheslines. I had some help, but boy digging through our rocky 'soil' ain't easy. And the job isn't done yet.
• Hauled out the weedwhacker and cleared grass from all around the hottub.
• Drove the pickup truck to the town transfer station to get a bedful of wood chips for the walkway to the hottub. Laid down cardboard and spread the chips out for the walk (thanks John and Kim for help!)
• Drove same said truck to Malden to buy and haul back a new couch for the common house living room (Thanks Kim and Stephanie for help!)
• Stopped by Arisia storage to dig out one of my badge printers so I can run badges for a convention I'm providing reg services for.
• Helped unload 3 truckloads of hay bales Beezy got for various horticultural projects around the community.
• Had a tasty dinner with John and Judy across the way (thanks guys!)
• Tested out the hottub to make sure it didn't have sharks in it. (it didn't). Ahhhh.
• Took a shower and now I'm relaxing.

Yikes. If this is a relaxing day, I'm worried what a busy day will be like.

I have to comment on the above picture. I grew up on a horse farm, and in horse and cow country. Driving, loading, and unloading truckloads of haybales were a fairly regular occurance. I certainly had some flash backs here, particularly since the truck in use there (not Mosaic's truck, a different one), is probably circa 1978. Got to drive it a bit too. Was an automatic, but boy it had all the fixens of the old country, that's for sure.
