I'm going fishing out of St Augustine tomorrow.

One of the regulars on the "Majesty" (the Jax charter boat) lives a couple miles away so we exchanged numbers. He texted me that he'd also heard the Majesty was having engine trouble so lets go to St Augustine. Fuggit... ayite, les'go.

It'll be a scouting trip. Figure out which one me and Anth gon' do in July.

Left Orlando on time. Weather in Houston has closed the airport. Circled in a holding pattern for a while and then diverted to New Orleans for fuel and currently sit on the plane there.

Beautiful weather today 80 and sunny so I didn't sleep long and got up around 3 to do things.

Tomorrow's going to be cold and overcast so I just finished mowing. Gotta mow the ditch soon too. Grass and weeds are 3-4ft tall now. It would be a lot easier if I cut it down every time I mow the lawn but every time I do it walking on the steep slope and swinging the trimmer around my back is out of commission for the next day and it sucks so I don't do it often enough.

Hope you got extra miles for every lap around the airport.

Made it home yesterday only three hours late.

Before Covid I flew 100k miles a year for work. This was one of the most insane trips ever. The only thing that did not happen was a plane crash.

If I could keep it only in the ditch and the swamp, 100%.

Was thinking yesterday I have 6 lawns. 1) my front and back lawn that I try to keep as nice as possible. 2) empty lot/field gets mowed 3) light woods that I mow 4) thick woods I brush mow 3-4x/yr and 5) the swamp - I usually get one sometimes 2 chances to get a mower back there but even when it's super dry, I'll break through the crust and sink in the mud. And number 6) the ditch. 200ft long, 6+ft deep and walls are 45 degrees or steeper and the water is thigh deep. Every section gets treated differently.

Just got done mowing the ditch and edging with the trimmer. Repaired the garden hoses, replaced a broken spigot, sprayed/sprinkled for ants, sprayed 12 gallons of roundup around all the trees and stuff. Found the biggest ant nest I've seen - was in a pile of cedar shingles I've had in the shed forever and their tunnels went through the whole stack. Pulled it all down into a wagon and dumped it in the burn pit kill em with fire. Cut down one small dead tree and burned it.

Gotta do a few more things before my back tells me to fvck off. Still hoping to build my subwoofer box - picked up the mdf when I was at menards. But my sawhorses are MIA I don't think my back will let me work on the garage floor.
