Making a change of plans for the flower bed section. Decided to solarize that area. Laid out some salvaged plastic sheeting, weighed down with bricks and blocks. Have to leave it there for at least 4 weeks. Then replanted that area. Then maybe move the plastic to other areas. Doing this should kill nearly all weed seeds and harmful organisms.
Think I'll use the weed fabric and black mulch for the walkways in the garden. If I leave that in place for a year or two, it should compost any existing weed seeds. If I keep up the process of killing off weeds all over the yard, eventually all the seeds should be killed or depleted.
Planted the sugar cane this evening. Not sure if it will grow because It was pretty dry. Not sure how green it needs to be to germinate.
Got 96 cases for work today. That is with an extra hour of work thrown in but getting really close to the goal of 100 cases in 9 hours. The 96 cases mean and equivalent of 3 extra hours of work with only 1 hour extra put in. Meanwhile, parts of the day actually felt kind of slow. Most people were actually pretty nice today. If I can keep up this rate, I can achieve that $300 a week extra I've been shooting for. But may not keep that up. Rather have a little less money and keep a shorter shift. Sitting that much is rough on my legs. But I am picking up an extra hour tomorrow. However, bestow all I do still enjoy my job.
Picked up the new spark plug wires this evening. The existing wires keep getting worse. Car wouldn't start at Walgreen's this evening for some time, until I got the cables just right. No desire to break down completely or have other electrical components fry because of the cables. It could short the voltage regulator in the starter and/or the alternator. I'll install them tomorrow.
