11 like Heaven Guess who nonchalantly popped through the door at around noon? Ya, you got it. Mr. Wonderful. What was he thinking? Guess he wasn’t. He wanted a part for his truck ordered. I did that. Not sure how the tractor got involved, I asked him something about it, but don’t remember what, so we walked to the barn. He checked the oil and fuel. Cleaned the radiator screen. Told me not to drive it till its oil got replaced. I said you’ll have to do that. He said, I know. Back to the house to order oil and oil filter. OH, he has a better sized brush hog unit to put on my tractor. We’re going to trade. Mine for his, if I don’t like it, he’ll switch them back. There’s an implement I gave him in the weeds with a broke down small trailer I gave him too. Said he’s going to bring my new brush hog cutter and take those things I gave him. About time.

Send 10 There was an empty plastic jar with two cigarettes holes burned through it sitting in my driveway. Someone trying to tell me something? Or just random refuse lying around? I have to remember what Robyn (Tracks 1977) lived through during her trek 1700 miles walking to the sea through the dry outback of Australia. We are capable of much more than we know. I am able to live in the middle of a redneck, unfriendly country. This is my dessert. I will get to the sea.

8 and Wait The lawn is mowed. It was disappointing yesterday when the mower wouldn’t keep going after having jumped it, but for some reason this morning, it started. I mowed a little, then stopped to clean it up and put oil (was told it needed oil and any kind would do) and gas in it. I didn’t have my glasses on to get details, but I saw it said 5000 clean on the bottle. It wasn’t a full jug, but I figured it was better than the almost none the mower had in it. At the end it seemed the motor was singing a new song, but it kept cutting, so I kept mowing unit it was done.
