In Darkness

When I was driving home last night I was considering if I wanted to take one of my EUCs and go ride Victoria Park after dinner.  However when I pulled in the driveway and saw the unkempt looking grass the internal conversation turned to if I wanted to try to get the grass mowed instead.  The last time I did it a few weeks ago it was dark by the time I was working on the back half.  That situation would only be worse this time around.  I guess that is what headlights are for, was the clincher statement in my silent internal debate.

As expected daylight vanished even quicker this time around.  I was rushing to get the front half of the yard done before it was dark since there isn’t as much auxiliary lighting as I have in the back. The back was all done via floodlights and headlights.  Night mowing isn’t much fun as the insects swarm the lights of the tractor.  I constantly feel like I have something in my hair or on my body.

I finished up around 8:15 but had no time to waste.  I had to make dinner which was fresh pasta from Publix.  I like these meals because after I make it I have dinner for the next three nights ready to go.  I also had to put away laundry and tend to the 3D hobby room before sitting down to actually eat dinner.  My daily schedule is just demanding as hell some days.  At least the mowing is done but of course my mind immediately drifted to the back of the property which is badly in need of mowing as well.  I can see that filling a time slot over the weekend.
