The cold and fog and clouds burned off about noonish today, which is always a wonderful thing.
I humped dirt and broken sidewalk concrete sections for a couple hours, trying to restore our torn up yard to some semblance of decency after the wreckage remaining from the water line replacement project several weeks ago. The once-bulging dirt mounded over the new water line has sagged and collapsed with recent rains and soggy weather to where there is a sunken not-so-shallow ditch now, which unfortunately has been draining rain water toward and underneath the house, leading to waterlogging of the soil surrounding the house and basement, causing quasi-continuous cycling on and off for the sump pump in the basement. I was able to dig out a shallow diversion channel taking most of the rainwater away from the house foundation, but even after 2 days of no rain - the poor sump pump is still cycling every few minutes trying to keep the basement from flooding.
Life in Missouri.
Anyway, after several rest intervals for my poor feet and back, I realized time was rapidly running out for a fun run on the trike.
Jacque had put up a birthday card for her brother up in Michigan and had asked me to put a stamp on it. It was still lying on the counter - with stamp firmly attached - when she drove off to the store.
I decided a short ride across the tracks to the Post Office would be better than no ride at all, especially since it would likely get me home shortly before total darkness developed.
