AM - 50F, 6 @ 8:27 AP.  My butt is sore from the 200s.  Man, I am getting soft.

PM - 74F, 3.32 @ 8:30 AP.  This little run came after about 4 hours of yard work, which included mowing an acre of tall grass and weeds with a standard lawnmower.  I don't really get seasonal allergies but I am wheezing a little; feels like there are lawn clippings in my lungs.  Let's see if dandelions will actually start growing inside me, I'm sure I inhaled plenty of seeds.

i had two dandelions grow inside my middle ear last spring. it's actually not too bad unless they are the kind that come with the tiny, tiny bugs. peanut butter kills them. good luck.

nice double today.

You should have let me run the 200's for you :-)

I've got a lot of mowing to do...not looking forward to it!

An acre! Holy schnicky how big of a place

Do you have in okie? Get a ridding mower !!!!

allie - peanut butter...thanks for the tip.

IJR - you can run my 200s for me and do my mowing next time....package deal.

Rye - yeah I might have underestimated the effort level of mowing an acre with a walk-behind mower. It is self-propelled though!
