Mowing Monday

This morning was so much nicer than it was over the weekend although I really did not mind the weather we had this weekend it was kind of refreshing after hot weather we had there for a while. Anyway, I had shredded wheat with a banana and some blueberries on top.

I felt a little better than I had this weekend, so I took myself for a short, a mile and a half walk and when I got back I read the paper. When I finished the paper and recycled it, I decided to go out and try out my "new" used electric reel mower. So I mowed the front lawn and the back yard.

I had mowed the area by the raspberries Saturday night after I got it, but the battery was really low on it and I could not tell how well it would work or how long the battery would let me mow. To my surprise I wound up mowing the whole lawn and it still had a good amount of power left when I finally stopped.

I put the battery on the charger so that next time I mow it will have a full charge. I thought that the mower did a really good job, in fact while I was mowing the front lawn the mailman stopped me and said that he did not realize that it was a mower because it was so quiet. He was really impressed!

I put it through a pretty good test as I had the Honda mower set at the high limit and it was quiet a lot higher than this one so it had to cut a lot of grass and it did a really good job. I did have to go over some of the front lawn again, in the opposite direction, but I often do that anyway.

After finishing the lawn, putting the battery of the charger and then cleaning and oiling the lawnmower, I was ready to go inside, clean up and have something for lunch. It was almost 1400, so it was close to my normal lunch time anyway.

I made myself a salad and one of those new Veggie burgers that I got at Trader Joe's the other day. We needed to go to Winco, so I kept asking Kathleen if she was ready to go, and finally around 1500 she came downstairs and then we took off for the store.

After shopping for a couple hours we finally got back about 1740 and then I helped Kathleen put the groceries away.

For dinner Kathleen heated up a couple artichokes and some fresh green beans and sliced up a mango. I added a Boca burger to complete my meal, Kathleen does not like them; she is more of a meat and potatoes kind of person, and I think I could almost become a vegetarian without too much of a problem.

Well, that pretty much was our day, I think I will call it a day and say good night.
