Rain, Rain

It's raining, quite a bit. We came out of the movies tonight and it was pouring. I ended up running to get the car for Delaney and Tia since I had a waterproof coat on and a hood.

Glad I cut the grass today. I got the mower started and then let Tia go ride while I did the front yard, which is what I planned. However it didn't take long, so I thought I'd do more. The side was almost done when I ran out of gas. My plan was to go get gas, run, and then cut a little more, but I'd been pushing Delaney to run, so he jumped on the treadmill and I got the mower started and finished off the side and half the back.

Then a quick run, clean up the starter (the mower battery won't start the mower), and I decided to keep going. I got the back done and then Tia kept bringing Zarah closer, I guess getting her used to the mower. So I kept going.

I was nervous a few times as Zarah started and I didn't want Tia to get thrown, but she kept things controlled and I ran up and down the side of the driveway, getting it cut down a bit.

Then I was motivated, so I tried the bush hog, but it wasn't cutting and I didn't feel like messing with it. Still need an angle grinder to touch up the blades. I did level out a spot in the driveway by shoveling some of the roadbase that I'd pulled up during snow plowing and getting that back on the driveway.

Then it was sprinkler time. I'd hit Lowes this morning, bought a bunch of parts, but not the one connector I needed for the open sprinkler. I did have two more sprinklers, so I replaced them, and I think everything is working now except my one open hole. Since I needed to hit the store again, I asked Tia if we see Star Trek tonight and hit the store. She said fine, and we fixed fence a bit before heading out.

The movie was good, grass is cut, it's raining, and I still don't have sprinkler parts. However Buddy might be heading to the vet tomorrow, and so I can get parts then.
