Surprisingly good day

Today was a really surprisingly good day! I'm kind of thinking my karma has turned a corner. 

The ex texted me, told me daughter's art is on display now at the NM Expo grounds. Have to go see it this weekend!

Got 90 cases for work. I admit that was with an extra hour put in this morning but it did not seem like that was going to happen today, with all the long calls I had. Earlier in the day, I thought I would actually come in slightly lower than 80. 

Just for licks, I pulled the dryer out this evening. Check the plug and jiggled the wiring. Nothing. Then banged on the back of the control panel, pushed the button and it started working! apparently a loose wire. 

This, after the computer stopped working and then suddently started up again. 

Took the bike over to get cigarettes. It died on the way back. Had a hunch it was out of gas, so pushed it to the gas station, put gas in it. Took a bit of cranking but it started back up. 

The invisible fence is keeping the dogs out of the garden. At last. One of the dogs got close enough to the control box to pull on one of the wires and it came loose from the box. I hooked it back up and turned up the power, which increases the range. They have to stay at a further distance.

Found a couple of leaks in the irrigation system. Plugged those and the pressure increased to that zone dramatically. 

Planted more carrots seeds and some potatoes today. 

Tilled around the trees in the back yard and mulched deeply around each one. Took a whole bag for each of the larger trees. But that should keep the grass and weeds at bay. Also tilled out the flower bed from last year. Going to use one bag of mulch in that area. But going to wait until next paycheck. May pick up a roll of weed control fabric for the flower beds and mulch on top of that. I'll just avoid irrigating those spots for now.
