Surfing the heat wave...

Woke with a sore back after monkeying around in the yard yesterday. Nothing big, but nothing I want to mess with after that round a few weeks ago.

Wrote early, about an hour, then drove off to Rocky Top to get rid of the fallen limbs I’ve been toting around in the back of he pickup for the past week. Eight o’clock, and there was already a long line. Guess everyone else has given up on the city’s clean up crew, too.

Spent the rest of the day teak-oiling the patio doors and furniture, then painting the dining room ceiling. The latter’s going to need some kilz and another coat thanks to the tile guy blowing out the plumbing. Couldn’t get rid of the water stain.

Drove over to Starbucks after we’d cleaned up, then to Goodwill to drop off a couple of picture frames. All in all a pretty productive day.

Didn’t do much outside after the temps pushed into the nineties. Don’t expect to do much tomorrow, either, owing to the same reason. Grass is looking fine, but if the hot dry weather sticks around it’s going to be an uphill battle keeping it that way.
