A Weekend Off!
It is only two days, but hey, I’ll take it! We don’t get any frilly holidays off, or benefits beyond that all important paycheck so two whole days off is nothing to shake a stick at.
We will watch the fireworks as usual, and with any luck I’ll be swimming in a fresh water, spring fed creek by tomorrow afternoon! The water tha boils up from underground into the creek is COLD! Just when I had thought all of Florida was 100 degrees, I discover natures refrigerator lurking in the woods….
This week was full of long hours at work, but since overtime is not allowed, it resulted in a short Friday. A four and one half hour workday that didn’t start until 10:00 am… oh well.
I sat outside watching the water this morning, and it was full of surprises here by the house. Jumping rays, large fish, and sailboats! Yup it is the holiday weekend.
I hope to have the push mower working today, the carburetor was at the small engine shop for three weeks. We got it back on Thursday, but today was the first time I have the chance to put the mower back together. The weeds are loving the lack of lawn maintenance, but the vacation from spinning blades is nearly ended. Once the push mower is up and running I will work on getting the lawn tractor running again… never leave gas sitting in your gas powered equipment, it really does not pay!
