Shattered Glass

Today I went outside and started collecting the leaves. Used the leaf blower to clear the big driveway. Then I ran the lawnmower to pick up the leaves in the front yard. Next I headed to the back yard. I had so many bags filled with leaves that I figured I better stack them up.

While stacking the leaf bags on the patio, I saw what looked like frost on the patio sliding glass door. That could not be right. It was warm outside. As I touched the glass door, the glass started falling down onto the ground. It was was not frost I saw. It was shattered glass.

Upon closer inspection, I saw what looked like a hole from some sort of projectile in the glass. Luckily only the outer pane of glass has shattered. The inner pane was still intact. I had to break out the rest of the glass from the outer pane. Then I picked up all that glass. It really shattered into a lot of small pieces.

The rest of the back yard will have to wait. Glass clean up took a long time.

Striking Oil

Today Little Kat and Momoko assembled our new lawn mower. One of the tasks was to put the oil into the mower. Momoko asked when was the last time we checked the oil on our old mower. Never.

Kit Kat pulled out the dip stick and found the old mower had no oil. Doh. Momoko instructed the family to not use the old mower until we got some oil. That put a damper in the plan to use 2 mowers and get the lawn done twice as fast.

Kit Kat and Momoko drove to the gas station to find some lawn mower oil. No luck. Little Kat and I went to Target. They did not have any there either. Luckily Wallyworld came to the rescue. Walmsrt sells lawn mowers and lawn mower oil.

Next week we plan to be very effective using 2 lawn mowers. We will need to be. Kit Kat is doing some charity walk all night on the weekend. She will be in no shape to help us cut the grass the next day.
