05-18-24 Lukas is the Best!
I was so grateful to have no alarm to wake up to. I had a coffee and relax and then met the family at Encore. Kory is in town with Luna from Calgary and the cousins were all having a good visit together. After lunch, Lukas came with me and boy did we get a lot done over the afternoon and evening. It did rain on us off and on, but we persevered.
Took all the recycling
Picked up a new hose and water timer, post spikes, 4×4 fence posts, and solar caps (on sale) at Home Depot
Insured the Willys
Drove thru A&W as Lukas said he hadn’t eaten for 3 hours
Ate
Took down the old scabbed together fence
Built the new fence in a much nicer layout with posts solidly holding it.
Mowed the lawn for the first time this season. It was well overdue
Weeding will happen over the next couple days when the weather allows. I am so thrilled with the result
When we took back Bill’s sledgehammer and gloves I noticed that my right hand was sore where my rings were. That was when I noticed that the inner smaller one was bent and squishing my finger causing it to swell. Bill got a small tool and used my large ring as leverage to bend it back to normal. The swelling is going down and I can’t even imagine how I did it. I can’t believe what a difference a year has made. Lukas is a 14 year old who gave me no attitude whatsoever, he just kept getting things done. I was very impressed and paid him $100 USD towards his band trip to Disneyland in 3 weeks. Well worth it.
