1 Week without DTV

This is exactly the one week mark of no cable television.

So far so good, no shakes, or issues with life adapting without the the cableman.

Although I don't think our dog can handle it, as you can see from his anguish ==> He is totally missing out on Animal Planet, Food Network, and Reruns of The Munsters.

Anniversary Cake

Today, H surprised M with the free anniversary cake from our wedding cake baker. The flavors were the flavors that we did not get a chance to try on our wedding, strawberry and pistacio buttercream with vanilla cake.

It was very good, alot of frosting but not overly sweet.

Grilling

This is from Friday, not too much to report, but when you do make an effort to eat at home, you can save alot. Here in our example: Picked up a 8 buck buffalo steak on the way home from work with some vegetables, net cost 13 bucks. Same food at a restaurant nearby, net cost 18, multiple of 2 people, equating 36 bucks.

Total Savings: 23 dollars.

End Result:

Good Guys Win

Overcast

Well not too much action on the mowing front. Weather for today and yesterday was the same, mid 70s and very overcast with spotty rainfall. That will not cut it, pardon the pun. The dog was on the lookout for some progress on 'his' lawn. Tomorrow is the last possible day to cut the grass before the garbage truck arrives, so it better be sunny!

Sunday Yard-work

This morning we spent two hours working on the backyard after 3 weeks of neglect. The grass has mostly died off due to the heat, while the weeds were fully grown. We cleared the weeds, did some trimming of the edge bushes, and watered the backyard. We will hold off on cutting the grass until wednesday, unless it is slated to rain.





We were able to clean the patio bricks of weeds and clean it a bit after much disorganization.
