The POD thing is pretty cool. I'd never seen one in action before today.

I'm in massive pain. Spent the whole day working in the yard, and if you'd ever seen my yard, you'd understand. I bought a brand new chainsaw chain last night, and it is now dull. I tried to cut down a volunteer tree of some sort, and it was *so* goddamn sappy that the new chain just puked and died. Now I have two chains to drop off for sharpening tomorrow.

I also learned that gas powered weedeaters, particularly my 30cc Bolens straight shaft model, scatter shrapnel in the form of small rocks and such, which chew up bare legs rather nicely. I did wear safety glasses however. I'm stupid, not insane.

Front yard is pretty much shipshape, now on to the back in the coming week. Meantime, we're going to watch "Rent" while we sort through our old VHS tapes to pull out the rare stuff in preparation for giving all the rest away to someone who hasn't made the jump to DVD yet.
