Better pictures later… but yesterday the brush trimmer arrived as well as the tiller. The Stihl brush trimmer is just a forking beast. It’s not the top of the line, but the FS 91 is an amazing tool. We also got the...

Our tiller arrived today (more on that later). So we took the truck over to the depot where it landed here. Driving around in a sea of truck loading bays just felt so weird, like it’s not somewhere I belong.

Arrived from Amazon last week and I finally opened up the outer package. Only to be greeted by this. Now I’m scared.

The bit of the yard between the garden an the neighbor’s drive had, like many things, gone out of control. This was out of control before we got here. There was the vine asshole plant that had growth rings and had been...

In a couple of weeks I’m flying out to hang out at my company’s office. I figured I would check how much more it would be to fly out a bit earlier in the week to visit Jackie in Seattle. What I thought was that I...

Last year we moved to this house in the middle of March. Then unpacking and everything got up too late to set up the garden. This year we have a far better handle on it. We got the garden trimmed back to basically dirt. And...

When the same things keep happening over and over again in a way that you seem to have no control over it. That’s where I’m at. :-|

I was in my bi-weekly sprint planning and noticed that “Presidents’ Day” is named as a holiday. I had never had that day off. In Cleveland and Seattle it’s a government and bank holiday, but ain’t...

From looking at aerial photos over the years there was a patch of the yard that had been overtaken by weeds for years. At least since 2013 something has been a bit amiss. As the previous owners lived here, it just slowly grew...

This was one of the better Super Bowls I’ve seen. Close and not a blow-out. The Seahawks win back in 2014, while it was awesome as a Seattleite, was a dreadful football game. This year I’m close to KC distance-wise,...

Between Ennie and I, we spend the better part of the day cleaning up the front yard next to the creek. I honestly don’t think the previous owners really did too much to keep things in tip top shape… Including pulling...
