Cold Damp

Drizzle. So ok I came in and fell asleep Wednesdays post is made after Midnight.
I Charged the battery on my garden tractor, and while the front blade was still on I moved gravel in the front driveway. Anytime the tractor starts up, Otis (My Irish Water Spaniel) comes running! He feels he must ride on the tractor too He sits on the area in front of my seat. I was having a problem with a large puddle down by the road. I spent time scraping a little swale across the drive d so the water would drain. I spent about 15 years working for a public utility operating a backhoe so I do have some clue on what I was doing. I got so involved in getting it to look just right and not be a speed bump that I failed to notice just how stiff my legs and back had become in the damp air! Rats! It took a major effort to just get off the tractor. Otis was looking at me like come on already! You turned off the tractor it's time to go in! I went in the back room where the heater is an just sat there next to the heat. I promptly ended up napping. I wanted to work with Moya a little this evening. Oh well, I slept through that idea! I am still hurting so off to a hot tub and to Bed I go. At least the drive will not have to be redone anytime soon!
