Sweating already this morning.

I washed 5 crates and 3-4 extra large totes

to use for storage in the basement.

I filled up a small tote with some water and mr. clean and

dawn dish soap then dunked an old broom in it

to clean off the totes and crates.

Rinsed with hose.

By using the broom it saved my back from

having to bend over and do it with a scrub brush.

I have decided to use the crates on the storage

bookshelves because I can store more

things that way than if items were to set out

on the shelves by themselves plus it

keeps stuff from falling off.

3:40pm

Taking a breather from the basement.

Been doing some heavy lifting and moved

some furniture.  Pretty sure I pulled a muscle

on the left side of my back.  Hurts like heck!

Waiting for some rain to roll through.

I noticed the other day that my one pear tree

was almost bare of pears so I went out

and picked them all before the squirrels

snacked on the rest of them.

I ended up with 9.2 pounds of pears

from my baby pear trees.

4:20pm


It's raining so hard I have a stream of water running
through the basement again.
All gutters are running smoothly and not clogged
they just can't keep up with the rain and are overflowing.
And of course I noticed water once
again dripping onto our breaker box, ughhhh!
We already lost a main breaker once because
of it and I thought I caulked everything outside
really well.  It hadn't leaked for over a year.
Guess it's time to recaulk everything again.
Always something.
