Two Showers and a Partridge in a....

Well gang, I stunk today too, but I had to have two showers because the first time, I just needed a shower to get the grime off from Wednesday, but the second time, I needed a shower was because I used the weedeater to cut about half the yard. The Yazoo may be on its last legs folks, but if so, it has been a Helluva lawnmower. We bought it wayyyy back in 1988, and used it for commercial grass from then until the middle of last year, when Dad went in the hospital and we retired Lail Lawn Service to the great big Business Card in the Sky. It has gone above and beyond the call of duty, clocking in over 2300 hours, perhaps even 2500 or so. 2300 HOURS I said...think about how much grass that is, since our biggest yard when we did commercial was around 3 hours long. That is a lot of grass. I hope the mower can be repaired though...it is just the idler on it, but we can't get the darn thing off to replace it, so here's to hoping we don't break it tomorrow when we try to pry it off. Anywho, I had already gotten cleaned up once, but I came home and walked for about thirty minutes, and then went out there and weedeated for at least an hour, although as hot as it was outside, it felt like an eternity. I looked like a sweaty ball of grease by the time I decided to quit, so I came in, my new shoes green, as well as my jeans, and my brand-new Catawba County shirt that my cousins brought for me was quite a few shades darker grey than when I started due to the three or four pounds I sweated off in the process. But you know what? I am proud of what I got done, and I'm gonna get up in the morning and finish the job while it is cool. It was fun to go out there and work up a good sweat....I haven't done it in quite a while, in fact I think that is perhaps the most amount of time I've ever used the weedeater, because I was damn sure sweatier than I've ever been before in my life. I had a good day, the start of Heath Lail's Personal Road to Fitness...I can't get too fit though, as I'm supposed to wear a 40 size pair of pants for my part in the movie, and I already have my wardrobe picked out for me, so I can't change now. I'm around 175 pounds, and about to squeeze outta my 34 jeans. I've worn 34s for so long, I simply walk into Sears, grab three pairs of 505 Levi's, pay and walk out. I don't have to try them on, so I don't wanna ruin that routine. I hope to drop back to 160, where I was around two years ago at Star Foods. I'm gonna get outta here now, so I can get up and finish weedeating in the AM. Have a good day, and if it eludes you at the beginning, then happy hunting. Later
