That was a disappointing showing last night if ever I have seen one. What’s going on here? A strong season followed by a big fat belly flop. It’s not over, but they have managed to take some of the wind out of my sails, I will tell you that much. I had my Austin Matthews t-shirt on, and my Leafs jersey going real crisp, and SPLAT!, A FOUL TURD appeared on my television screen for nearly three hours straight. Shut out by Ottawa! Madness.
But here we are on this cold, partially cloudy Wednesday. It was below zero and breezy this morning. Didn’t make for a very fun school drop off, not out morning walk. Luckily we did not have the tornadoes they were warning of, at least not directly over head, anyway. We had some torrential downpours, and a bit of win, but nothing too crazy. A couple of twigs fell out of the trees, but no major limbs, or trunk splits etc etc… the grass will need to be cut this weekend, that’s for certain. No escaping the green carpet growth now that “It’s gonna be May!”. Sorry, I had to get that out. It’s low hanging fruit, but satisfying nonetheless. Ha.
Had notice of a few more large reports coming my way in May, and for July, both of which will be welcome. There is a random fifth one floating about, but I don’t have the slightest idea of what is going on with it, so I can’t schedule it, or count on it as part of my earnings estimate. Could be time to do the 2025 version before the 2024 one gets sorted out at this rate. I don’t deal with that side of things, as a sub contracted party, I just make it happen when I get it.
Lots to do around here this weekend. I can as aforementioned cut the grass, and I can power wash the back deck, I can do the second layer of hedge trimming & patio clean up of all the previous trimmings. I can gather up all the twigs and take them to the farm. I can pick up all the winter hidden dog poops. It will be a busy Saturday and Sunday. Woah! Don’t tempt me with a good time. I can wash the exterior windows. I can once again attempt to power wash the faux bloody hand prints off of the brick work by the front porch. I can wash the garage door and driveway. I can wash both cars. Swap over the winter tires for their summer counter parts. You name it, the world is my oyster. Provided it is at least 10°C that is. Can’t have the exterior pipes burst if I turn the water on and it’s too damn cold.
Boy oh boy that Leafs game was disappointing though, wasn’t it? Ugh.
