Playing Catch-Up

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I guess that means I have a life of sorts. Springtime always puts me behind on all the stuff I planned throughout the winter.

Here’s a quick list of activities around here in the past 6 weeks:
- changed the oil in the mower, installed a new air filter, sharpened the blade, and adjusted the drive belt
- replaced sprinkler heads, filled holes in yard, mowed, moved rose bushes, and fixed holes in fence
- planted a garden in stages, started a compost pile, fenced garden and built a gate for it
- performed bicycle maintenance
- bought a total of 8 new and used books
- cleaned the garage and moved the kayaks to storage building
- cleaned, made small repairs on, paid for large repairs on, and eventually sold our son’s old car
- sold an unused wireless pet fence
- bought a pair of pants (getting me to buy clothes is like pulling teeth)
- bought a set of grocery-bag sized basket panniers for my town bike (perfect for running errands)
- bought a Grundig Mini 300 portable AM/FM/SW radio to use while camping, etc.
- Defraged and scanned our daughter’s computer, and cleaned a virus from mine
- caulked leak around the furnace flue just before a rain
- grilled burgers, steaks several times
- did other stuff
