I fought the lawn

But I won. :-)

Yesterday I mowed a lawn for the first time in 10 years. Saturday I bought a lawnmower (the manual kind; no engine), sunday I put it together and engaged the overgrown green legions. The grass around my house is now quite a bit shorter.

I also polished my boots, made progress on cleaning and organizing the garage, and helped a neighbor shop for a charcoal grill. All in all, a very domestic weekend in suburbia.

My other purchase this weekend was a dehumidifier, which I'm using to dry off the garage. Its already cool but not freezing, so I figure making it dry makes it a pretty good long-term storage location. A lot of my camping/emergency gear is going to live there, so hopefully my assumptions are good.
