Yeah, it's already on my "to do before summer is over" list. Me especially since I already have a history.
Disturbing realization today is that when I went out to do yard work, I made it about an hour and a half before I had to quit. I just can't do what I used to. I cannot mentally or physically stand the thought of going back out to do more work.
It's a little disconcerting. I don't think it's ~just~ age. I told the Mrs. that perhaps because we've been running so hard, really since before last summer when we didn't have a vacation, that maybe when we stopped last week it was such as shock to our system that we just haven't quite recovered yet.
I've consoled myself with the thought that I can do an hour or so a day, and that I'll not be heading off to rehearsals in September and October.
But today is a GREAT day! The local semi-pro baseball team, in conjunction with Sony is having an electronics dump day at Holy Cross College. We've spent the last couple of hours bringing old, big honking monitors (5) and computer boxes (7) down from the attic, not to mention many and varied sets of speakers and Sir Kit's original Allied turntable from the first stereo he bought 40 years ago. It hasn't worked in 20 years, and we'd just stuck it up in the attic. This is saving well over $100 in what it would have cost us to have someone pick all this up and haul it away! It also helped to clean 1/4 of the stuff out of the attic, which we were going to have to do at some point, anyway. The stuff that's left up there is mostly packing materials which we'll use as we're packing to move.
Well, I’m younger than you are, and I know I don’t have the endurance I used to... particularly in the heat.
Good evening... did chores today... went to the dump, mowed, that kind of thing. Tomorrow we’re going up to the beach house. :~)
*Sigh*
I’m a freakin’ geezer!
I’m watching UNC vs Georgetown in the 1982 tournament....I can remember the 1982 roster better than I do last season’s.
