More of the Same except plus Ouran

This year is vanishing at a rapid rate - I've continued slooowly fixing my house but now that the weather is warming up I get to start sanding and staining boards to finish the deck again as well as being up to my ears in yard work. I used to love taking care of this place but now I'm kind of looking forward to having less land to tend. I may even (gasp) be one of those horrible people who cut down extra fruit trees if the place we end up with has too many, I am SO done with the annual deluge of fruit.

Still looking for that new house (well, sort of new - we actually prefer stuff built before the 80s) checking listings every day and I'll be meeting with a nice real estate lady this week, turns out she goes to the same church I've begun attending down in Salem - that was a fun discovery. And yes! I've finally found a new church, a Foursquare there conveniently right across the street from a Calvary Chapel which I also like so I can mix-and-match with studies and events.

AND I have belatedly discovered this little gem known as Ouran High School Host Club. Hee hee. I've now seen all of it in Japanese and then again in English. ^_^ Whee!

Decapitated weed whacker

So, while merrily whackity whacking away I managed to trip over a branch hidden in the tall grass (hence the whacking) and took a tumble. While the only thing I injured was my pride I found I'd somehow managed to decapitate my whacker. 0_o I tried reattaching its brain but it spun off again as soon as it was started up.

The result is I just got a brand new shiny weed whacker out of the box (woo!) and managed to get it assembled and running. Bonus that it can take attachments and I also got a chainsaw-on-a-stick attachment for it to abbreviate said branches into firewood. This little cloud definitely had a silver lining!
