My wife took this picture of me yesterday cutting the grass for the 1st time this year. I had changed the oil in the mower with some superior mechanical supervision from my across-the-street neighbor, Jac. Thanks, Jac. It took about a gallon of gas to cut the lawns. As Jac said, "Who would ever have thought that you'd have to start budgeting for gas in cutting your lawn?" ■ My back is slooowly getting better. It's been 2 weeks now that it's been out. I'm on 2 canes first thing in the morning and then later on I can walk for short distances without a cane. ■ A lot on my plate today, so I'd better get busy. ■
