I’ve finally gotten some real yardwork done this week. Both the front and back yards are now at least somewhat tamed and free of weeds. My only goal for the rest of the week/weekend is to till the garden plot and throw down some peat/manure/etc. I’m already exhausted from trying to start the tiller–I think it’s about had it. I can’t keep it running for very long even at idle, but if I try to actually till the soil, it just gives up and dies.
I think I’m going to stay home this weekend, for once. I’d actually like to do some traveling, but my family doesn’t like long trips in the car as much as I do. To me, if the destination is worth the long trip, then why not? My wife, and especially my two kids, don’t see it that way.
