Not so much done, after all. That's okay. I could use something of a day off. Rather tired. Think it's allergies and the weather. Don't feel bad.
I did repair the fertilizer injector. Could not figure out why I had a suction leak where I had two tubes connected. Then I too them apart. Turned out one of the tubes is ribbed on the inside. Left space for air to enter at the connector. Had to replace the tubing to one solid piece from the valve to the bucket. Then it worked fine. Walmart didn't have the rings for the tubing in stock yet but a small amount of plumber's putty worked just as well. Ran some of the ammonia/acid solution through the lines and let it sit to dissolve mineral deposits.
Sprayed a stronger solution on the unwanted grass and weeds. This time it had a visible effect in only a couple of hours.
Finally picked up a new pair of shoes, which I've been needing for some time. Could be something making me less energetic, that my feet hurt. Been wearing these shoes for about two years now. They're still good for gardening but not much else.
The couple picked up the Camaro and the truck earlier. It's nice being able to park in the driveway again! And this is the first time since living here that neither vehicle extends outside the driveway. Until now it's been the van or the truck, each of which was rather long. Looks a lot nicer. Now I just need to clean up the area in front of the car.
I'll make up my laziness tomorrow. When it's warmer. I may go ahead and arrange the shelves, move some items into the pantry and put daughter's old clothes into the vacuum storage bags.
Got some ground clear to use between the house and the fence on the south side. Last year it was clogged with weeds you couldn't enter that area. Pulled the dead weeds out this weekend. Now to keep that problem from happening again.
So, with the assistance of the money from selling the two vehicles, I'll be current on the mortgage as of this weekend! Sooner than expected by several weeks. After that, I should be able to keep it current. Not going to be moving ahead financially for a few weeks but will be there in less than a month. Finally!
