I am back

Well sorry I have not posted anything for a while.  No real reason for not posting anything, other than just being lazy.  I wish I had some new great story, but nothing too great to tell.  Let me see, I have an infestation of  mosquitoes. Now this is not some silly little infestation.  I manage to kill more than 50 a night when I forget to apply bug spray, and when I remember to apply bug spray I only get 20 kills.

Let me see, oh I have decided that my yard needed to be tilled up. I was mowing it with a machete, but my host family and village was constantly giving me crap about my yard.  So I finally broke down last week and started turning my yard.  It was not finished when I left today, but i am more than half way done.  Now my yard while not huge it is decent size.  I would say square footage wise it is about the size of a basketball court.  So right now it is half turned and the rest I cheated and mowed right quick with my machete.  I will finish when I get back.

I have also been managing to read a hand full of book.  I would highly “All Things Great and Small” by James Herriot.  It is hilarious.  I love Sigfried, and I know some of those guys.  Maybe it is just the mechanic in me and having to deal with truck drivers, I have had some of the same experiences as James in dealing with people and I can so relate.  So yea go read it.  It should be silly cheap.  I don’t know when it was written  but picking it up at a second hand shop should be no problem.

Ok so I don’t have a lot more to say, so it is your turn ask questions PLEASE!!

Later,

Matt

  1. I LOVE James Herriot! In my Animal Science days, he was my inspiration in the midst of all the cold, slimy, smelly situations I found myself in regularly. Glad to hear you’re still alive. Good luck with your yard!
