Not a marathon, not even up to a sports practice, but it was enough.

Weeding is easy enough work, unless you have been sitting for decades.  Don't even look at me like I made that kind of choice.  Given the opportunity, I take it.  Just as with gardening this year.  I honestly wasn't sure I was quite up to the task.  I'm still not convinced that I am.  I suppose I will know as other problems crop up, or should I fail to water and get no crop.  Actually, I should say, there is a decent chance that I will get no crop, or little, even if I do everything (else) correct.  I planted seeds to late.  So, okay, I've already messed up.  Potentially fatally, as far as production value.  Still, the hope is that I keep up as well as possible and produce whatever is possible. 

Yes, that was a lot of work, for me.  Five hours in the heat.  No real serious physical aspect, other than bending at the waste, but that is my weak spot.  I do fear my knees.  But they are only weak with great distance at speed it seems.  Though in truth they only hurt, should I be in shape to use them.  They won't give out or in or fail some other way.  Another reason to prefer swimming.  The high was 94, dew point is currently 48.  As for feel?  It felt medium to high intensity.  I won't say I liked working in it, only that I could and did.

I set the timer up, programmed everything, then hooked it in.  It did not work.  From the start it simply failed.  One return.  I'll try the other.  If it fails I will take them back and look at another store.  Oh well.  I am manually timing the watering.  It is about done for the night, as am I.  I can't believe how painful my eyes are.  Yeah, it's been a while since I've been in that kind of heat.  Oh, right, in the morning tomorrow, before I go in if I am going in, I need to see up an appointment with the eye doctor.  I'm glad I stopped and got the paperwork for that.  I will see if he can offer a script for contacts as well, even if I have to kick in something.

Hmm, and for those of you who are dumping BSA?  There is an option.  They will be accepting former boy scouts as soon as September, I believe the article indicated.  The king is dead, hail and long live the king.  They did it to themselves.  May those leaders rot in hell for trying to debauch children and destroying an organization I have fond childhood memories regarding.  Seriously.  Then again I don't have to hope.  They might repent, but... hubris is one of the most difficult things to survive. 

Good night.
