It’s Mighty Hot

IMG00045 So I had to take my last furlough days off and did them this past Friday and today mainly so I could pay my car taxes. Nothing like waiting until the very end of the month to do this but alas I didn’t have the money until now. My paychecks should be back to normal now with no more furlough monies taken out of them.

The dogs obviously think it is the dog days of summer and time to lounge around since I’m off. Well, I guess in a sense they are right but do they have to flaunt it?? They need to be tracking down and killing that effin mole. He’s getting more destructive this time in the front yard and pushing out all the dirt he’s clearing in his tunnels above ground now. He’s getting on my last nerve and I have no earthly idea how to kill him much less try to trap him. Do you think animal control would do something about him? I still haven’t figured out how the hell he came to my yard to begin with. I was talking with my neighbor across the street and either we have 2 of them on the road or this sucker has made a tunnel underneath the road and is tearing up his yard too because he said he has been digging all in his garden box where he grow green onions that are delectable.

I also managed to bend one of the blades on my lawnmower by running over a tree root. I don’t have the muscles to undo the one bolt that is holding that in so I can change the blade as I’ve had a brand new one to replace it now for almost a year. I guess I need to find some guy walking down the street and see if he can undo it for me so I can put the new one on it. I had to raise the lawnmower off the ground some so I could at least mow the lawn this past weekend as I usually keep it as low as possible.

    It has been a crazy summer. We had tons of rain at first then it was so humid and in the nineties last week. Now it is in the high sixties this week. Strange!
