Thursday 9:30 PM A sticky day but I lost very little blood. Yeah I trimmed cacti and fought with battery powered tools. It seems they may not like summer weather in Central AZ. They get warm and stop working but then they are old. One battery ISN’T OLD but it does the same thing. Oh yeah the cacti – some are getting very tall (12'+) and are close to sidewalks. I do have concern about them falling on someone. Mostly during high wind conditions and we HAD THAT today. Generally just breezy but a couple Desert devils went though this afternoon. I’m glad I was about finished for today. The devils don’t last long nor are that large in scale. In fact one went through today and was barely shaking the leaves across the street. Along about that time I took a break and went in the bar for a glass of refreshment. I noticed that the computer screen was black and the tiny indicator light was just barely winking at me on the monitor. Oh Oh! A half hour of checking and I discovered the monitor was the problem. I could access the computer from the house computer via the network. After trying everything I could think of the old one just wouldn’t come on. I had ONE left in the office that hadn’t been turned on for a very long time and has a small scratch on the screen. OK – WHAA WHOO. The sun shade on West side of the building facing the patio & courtyard is in ribbons after the wind today. I have had replacements for quite a while now but have held off due to the winds. I don’t think I can hold off much more (at all). They are not expensive but they are a pain to change.
Well that was pretty much MY Thursday. I’ve surely had much worse but I’ve had some better. Given a choice I’d go for the better but I’ll handle whatever comes up next.
Tomorrow is Friday then it’s the weekend! Yippee! I keep forgetting everyday is Saturday at my house (chuckle). I think I’ll stick with the ‘Yippee!’ concept, mentally anyway seeing as how it pays the same and ‘Yippee!’ usually, is a lot more fun than ‘Oh woe is me’. Ha Ha Ha
Somehow I expect that being out during a couple wind storms and trimming cacti and other similar projects that a shower is called for and anticipated with some degree of comfort & relaxation. Ah then the horizontal position!
