Ditches have mostly drained. Lawn littered with sticks. Grass must be 6" high. Rain gauge says 3.5 inches ... Ann thinks that's too low. I tried to mow the front yard (the part inside the fence where Robbie chases squirrels) but gave up -- too hot and too many mosquitoes.
Before we left we put everything valuable (and portable) on shelves, tables, or counters. So now it seems like a good time to clean the floors. Mop, sweep, vacuum, mop, sweep, vacuum, mop, sweep ... ugh.
Also a good time to start going through stuff in the storage room. Do we really need all this stuff?
- Old computer monitor. Will take it to Best Buy for recycling.
- Three ancient laptops (two Apple and one ...). Maybe the County historical museum would like them? If not, they go to Best Buy too.
- Several hundred USGS quad maps. Still planning to try to sell them on eBay.
- The "fish mirror" (a huge heavy wall mirror that belonged to Ann's grandparents). Has a minor damaged spot in the silvering layer that more-or-less resembles a fish; hence the name. Maybe Sarah will want it someday? Hey ... every costume designer needs a big mirror!
- Two four-drawer file cabinets full of stuff. Uh... put it off till tomorrow. Or the next day. Or....
