Well, I don't know exactly how long it has been since my last post. More than a few months, I suppose. But much has happened over that time and it this new blogging is well overdue.
I've ditched my old, green car in favor of a 2003 mustang that runs well but uses a bit more gas and seems to have had a problem with the fuel cap staying on tight. The gas usage is annoying, especially with the rise in prices lately. The fuel cap problem should be fixed now that I have bought and installed a new, locking gas cap. Other than that, the car looks nice and runs well. No worries.
Work has kept me busy. So has my yard. I've been busily gardening whenever I can muster the energy after work and have completely weeded my backyard! That was an amazing feeling once it was done. There were so many bush-like weeds growing back there that it seemed like I would never finish. And it took me a total of 5 1/2 hours to finally clear the backyard. Now I still have to do the sides and a patch in the front, but I will tackle that next week. I'm not putting it off because I'm lazy, but rather that I don't have any more space in my yard debris bin. My last foray into the backyard filled up the bin completely and that won't be picked up by the waste mgmt company until next Tuesday. So, I have a valid excuse to chill until then. I am really looking forward to clearing those weeds, though...
So, I mentioned that work was busy. And so it is, but I have been able to improve my performance through developing office relationships and through increasing my knowledge of the business. "It's been a long road... gettin' from there to here..." - Star Trek, Enterprise theme. That show kind of sucks because they didn't develop more than a few characters and even that not as deeply as the other Trek series have done. Anyway, I'm getting off track...
There isn't really much else to blog on about. Life is going well and I'm also looking forward to getting outside more now that the weather has finally come around from the Spring storms to generally sunny skies.
To wind things up here, I'll post some pics of the car and yard soon.
