Today was an enormously busy day. We are currently in North Salt Lake at our daughter Heather’s house where we’ll be staying for a couple of days. That meant a lot of things needed to get finished at home before we could leave. I did get the lawn tractor started and running, although very roughly. It needs some additional tuning as well as another oil change. The engine was completely full of water and it’ll take a couple of oil changes to get everything cleaned out of the engine. The grass is in serious need of being mowed, and I’m not excited about walking behind the mower. That’s plenty of motivation to get the tractor running well!

The other Very Important Task was to get the tomato plants set in buckets and hung up. The picture is evidence that this VIT got completed (click twice on the picture for a full-sized view). Six tomato plants, probably all different varieties, are in buckets (hanging down), and hung from the new trellis. I’m very much looking forward to the fruits of this labor!

We’ll be in North Salt Lake until Thursday morning sometime. Heather and Ty are going out of town for a wedding and we’re staying here to kind of keep track of things, particularly making food on occasion for the grandkids who might be around every once in a while. Stephanie is working and busy with her social life. Christopher is also working. Danielle is off to Girls Camp in the morning. So we’ll be hanging out with Michael … a delightful use of time. I may even get some time to work on the new website (see techmatters.rnsmith.com for details).
