Wrestling the gorilla

It's a struggle. You don't quit when you're tired--you quit when the gorilla is tired.

Saturday, June 6

Turned out to be quite a day.

I had my brother’s truck for the day, after we exchanged vehicles yesterday, so I wanted to put it to good use. I loaded up as much brush as I could take (though it looks like I’ve got one more load, for later). I also picked up some treated landscaping ties to make the garden boxes in the back. Busy day.

At the end of the day, I went over to Dianne’s to help Jami install Skype (still a problem but I’ll get it sometime soon). I got dinner over there an played fetch with the dogs for a bit. It was supposed to be a crappy day, cold and rainy, but it ended up being quite nice. It wasn’t too cold and no rain fell.

I didn’t have any plans for the evening so I called my friend Mike, maybe we’d watch the hockey game. However, he had plans already. Boo. So my next call was to Dino — I think I woke him up from a nap. He told me that he had already arranged plans! Dino & Becky, Stuart & Shelli and Darren & Leah were already planning to go out and my invite was on my home voice mail (which I hadn’t checked yet). Very cool. A bunch of friends, a hockey game all ready to go.
