I got suckered in to coming to downtown Coeur d'Alene today to fix my in-laws' wireless router. As you can see, there's nothing wrong with it, as I'm connected to it right now. Today is Car d'Lane, the big classic car show. Therefore, there isn't a parking spot to be had anywhere downtown—including my in-laws' business lot for "guests only." I wish.
The temperature finally crested 70°F today, it seems like forever since we've had a warm day like this. Except for one odd heat wave real early this year, it's been quite cool. We've had rain for the last two weeks almost. I even had to turn the furnace back on!
This morning a neighbor's dog woke me up with its incessant barking at about 7:30am. Now, I'm usually up by this time, but it is a Saturday, and it would have been nice to sleep in. But since I was up, I decided I should go out and mow the lawn. I spent the earliest part (I didn't start until about 8:45) by the fence nearest that neighbor, just in case they were able to sleep in with their damn dog barking every two seconds for the entire morning.
It took about two hours to mow everything, and now I feel like I'm going to die from all the pollen I've been exposed to. It's been the curse of my life to have bad hay fever.
But at least the lawn's done. Until next week, anyway.
