I’ve been trying to take better care of the yard this year. You know, mowing regularly, watering, spraying anti-fungal stuff on the roses. It’s looking better than it did last year certainly. I have completely failed to eradicate the Bermuda grass infestation in the rose bed and the bed under the front windows. It is terrible. I dig down as far as I can and pull out the stupid little root runners and three days later there are new shoots sticking up above the four inches of mulch. I wish the non-terrible plants grew that fast. Hell, the actual grass in the yard has nothing on that. Anyway, there are some new pictures in the gallery.

Vrrooom-ish
I decided to take a day of rest off from the exercising due to a particularly chore filled weekend. I cleaned the garage up a bit and then decided to tackle the matter of the Triumph. I have a TR6 that I got from my dad and which is the car I drove in high school. It has various unsavory problems that keep it relegated to the garage (massive electrical problems, sometimes cuts out while turning left, etc.) but it does run and is nice looking though in need of new paint. The last time the car was started was probably some time early in 2005 after which I gave up on it for a while, got my table saw and my WoW addiction and so forth. However, since I had the foresight to disconnect the battery it still had 75% charge. After reconnecting it, a few false starts and quite a bit of starter fluid it caught and ran. I pulled it out, gave it the washing that it desperately needed, drove it around the block and put it back in the car-hole. Yay car.
