Summer Break: Day One

  • Tried this weed killer that I found on Facebook:   I can’t vouch for it’s week killing ability, but even if the weeds survive, the Box Elder bugs didn’t, which makes it worth the $10 I spent on it.  I’ll let you know later if it killed the weeds too. 
  • Took 2 trips to the county dump, and filled up the yard waste can once.  One or two more pickups of the yard waste can and I’ll have the behind-the-garage area all cleaned up.

So much for a nice relaxing first day off, but I do feel quite productive for the day.

Week 1 accomplishments.

  1. Fixed Old Blue – pretty simple.  The clanking in the rear end was because I forgot to fully tighten down the lug nuts on the back tire.  easy fix – just tightened them down.
  2. Repainted the front porch.  Started out a dark redwood color.   Way too hot.  Wanted a nice green.  turned out to be a bright mint green.  Third color worked, a off-white cream color.  Matches the accent on the sides of the house.
  3. Finished a video for my dad’s online math class.
  4. Moved the rest of the stuff out of my old classroom into the new one.
  5. Slept a lot, watched Criminal Minds on DVD a lot.
