A Vacation?

Update: And today, Wed., I killed a snake in the turtle corral.
This is what I've been doing during the last week or so of my vacation:
- Fighting our lawn mower (replaced fuel pump to avoid FIRE and still have to get more of the plastic bags off of the blades to avoid FIRE). It runs like a dream, but still have to take off the blades & clean/sharpen. More on this later.
- Drove to Tuscaloosa on Saturday to see Bromide (had a fine time).
- Took Horace to the vet (he's okay, swollen foot, possibly a sting) and I got nipped a couple of times, because we all know how much he likes being made to do things. The vet said he was a big wuss...
- Cleaning much of the junk off of the carport to be hauled away by the local govt. It looked like a cheap furniture tractor trailer had lost it's load in front of GateTree Manor for a couple of days.
- Getting offered and ultimately turning down the "soccer sponsor" job at school.
- Reading this odd book - Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, while Tobermory reads this freaky one - House of Leaves.
- Playing this stupid game - Travian.
- Playing this stupid game - NCAA Football 2008.
- Waiting for Tobermory's new computer to arrive.
