or at least the front yard mowed so the neighbors can't be calling the city complaining... I had a long weekend and in spite of my (still) broken foot, I managed to get some work done at home and at church. And I only set the church grounds on fire once with my new weedkilling flamethrower tool. Fortunately I got a couple buckets of water carried out in time to extinguish the flames and prevent any damage to the building. And since I still need to dig up & repair and replace the damaged water valve, it was a good thing that I could get into the building quickly.
I did NOT get any work done on the motorcycle or check out the sprinkler systems at the house. With everything that needs doing, there is no telling how soon the 2-wheelers will be ready for riding but hopefully I can get to them soon.
There's also been a death in the family, my brother Pete's fiance and long-time girlfriend succumbed on Friday morning so there have been plenty of phone calls going around. Services are Wednesday, Brother Mark will be officiating and Dad and Brother Tim are driving up to Ohio from Florida. I've spoken to Pete but own't be making the trip to Ohio.
My foot is still broken. I hobbled all weekend and finally saw the Doc again today and he hooked me up with an even more restrictive boot that is causing me a great deal of pain this afternoon. But I better wear the boot until the bone heals or I'll be cursing it the rest of my life while it never heals properly.
So it has been a pretty somber weekend...
