My neighbor has asked to borrow my mower and edger since his gardeners are practicing social distancing.
I'm going to loan him my corded mower and edger since I use the battery operated set I bought when my corded mower went out before I figured out how to fix it. (took the trigger mechanism apart)

I remember as a kid my next door neighbor bought an electric mower and insisted I use that to cut his grass. I,hated it because the cord kept getting in the way. Fixed that problem quickly. I just kept running over the extension cord.

How is mowing a lawn a violation of social distancing? Hasn't stopped the dude with a 100 dB leaf blower across the street. (I hate those things, not only are they noisy but also are less efficient than if he used a rake)
I haven’t disappeared on ya’ll I just started my new job as a mortgage originator. I’ve been a banker for my entire career and am excited to enter the mortgage world when rates are the lowest they’ve ever been. Just been super busy didn’t want anyone to think I’m not still around.
Listening to Funkadelic on Amazon Music. I started listening to their recommended R&B station, but it was more like rap and hip-hop and just a bit much first thing in the morning so I yelled "get off my lawn" at that station.

Did the quarterly PM on my roaster. Dismantle and clean all the ducting and scrub the fins on the squirrel-cage blower, remove old grease from the bearing and replace, etc. It takes a little over an hour most times. It took over 30mins longer this time because nobody ever showed me how to load a new tube into my grease gun without making a big stinkin' mess, dagnabbit!
Took apart our wood and hardware cloth compost bins. Salvaged the hardware cloth and the frame went on the burn pile. Opened the back window of the garden shed to let the Wrens come and go. They are bound and determined to build a nest in the shed.

They're determined little critters. I get nests in my workshop and in the chicken coop every year. Might as well just let 'em in, they're going to get there somehow.

put tick tubes (permethrin treated cotton balls) out for the mice, kills the ticks, works great and the mice are happier too. Over the last few years it has made a huge difference in the tick population.
sprayed the apple,peach, plum,and apricot trees with dormant oil to kill the overwintering eggs and mold spores.

Chippin away at the 6 inches of ice hardpack on the parking lot. It's just warm enough for it to loosen from the asphalt.
There was a rock group back in the late 60's that used a theremin, can't drag the name out of the cobwebby memory at the moment.
Got it--Lothar and the Hand People!
Before that, I was listening to my taking guitar playlist.
Went to the dentist.
Went to the hospital yesterday. They have moved in two refrigerated trailers to the parking lot.
Gotta keep em cold so they don't reanimate.

Listening to Kris Kristofferson and and thinking about smoking a New World Cameroon Toro.
Does he usually tell you what to smoke?
He tried, should have smoked a Kristoff!

I'll be sure not to loan him an extension cord.

Tweaked my lower back yesterday pulling weeds.🤬
I can sit or stand almost straight, but i look like an octopus with polio when I attempt to walk.
I hope you feel better @Guitarded Michael. I prescribe whiskey and barrel aged stouts.

Listening to Parliament on Amazon Music.
Yak, I got to see George Clinton and Parliament a few years ago. Very good show but George had to sit for most of it.
Oops

I've done that lots. I've got six small Bovedas I need to recharge.
