Vacation

I am on vacation this week.  My plans are to get some work done around the house.  Lawn mowing, firewood, insulating and whatever else I come across.  We were supposed to get a load of firewood delivered yesterday.  With the heavy rains we received the seller must have thought better of showing up.  Perhaps we will get the load today.  I have about three face cord already stacked.  This is wood I cut and split from downed trees in our woods.  I have another one to two face cords cut and split still in the woods.  I have some pretty good sized tops that have yet to be buzzed up.

Today I am waiting for the lawn to dry up so I can finish mowing.  I did the bulk of the lawn Monday.  Dealing with my mower's propensity for shutting down when it gets hot prevented me from completing the task Monday as it quit running three times during the project.  Hopefully I can get her going today and can finish up the job.  It is much cooler out today after the storm front moved through yesterday.  They're calling for a high of sixty-one degrees today with cloudy skies.

Patti and I will be heading out to Met Life Stadium this weekend to see the Boss in concert.  It will be the fourth time seeing him in concert: once in the Dome in Syracuse and twice in Albany.  The Wrecking Ball Tour.  Randy Day and his wife saw him at Vernon Downs last month and they left before he ended.  Springsteen had gone for over three and a half hours when they left.  Patti and I will not be leaving before the concert ends.
