I started craving Taco Bell and needed to run a couple errands, so the yard work waited a bit longer. I should have known I was in for trouble when I couldn&#8217;t get the Taco Bell app to work again. I&#8217;ve still got quite a bit of money wrapped up in e-gift cards in the app, and I can&#8217;t use them because the app won&#8217;t keep me signed in. When I finally gave up and went to the counter to order and pay, it took them 24 minutes to get our food out to us. They were pretty busy with a couple vans worth of kids there, but the wait was still unreal.<\/p>\n<p>After eating, we went to Lowe&#8217;s to dispose of some CFL bulbs and then wandered around a bit to check out any seasonal clearances. They had some blinds outside that the lady practically wanted to give away, but we couldn&#8217;t find any the right size. Next was a quick stop at Walmart to return the globe light bulbs I picked up last night because they were too big to fit inside my fixtures. I didn&#8217;t much care for the color anyway.<\/p>\n<p>When we finally got back home, we went out back to start cleaning up the yard. It took me a while to get a fire going because it just wasn&#8217;t getting any airflow without any breeze at all, but I finally got it going well enough to burn down my ant-infested stump. As we wound down, Summer went home to clean up as I tended the coals, then I cleaned myself up and waited for her return. She brought a bunch of salad stuff over, I chopped up some dinner, and we ended the night with some surprisingly sappy <em>Parks and Rec<\/em> for a lighter evening.<\/p>\n<p><em>Goodbye Ann. I have enjoyed parts of our time together.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We slept in a bit today, then got up to a couple episodes of\u00a0Battlestar Galactica before lunch.
