it was a big one today. i went to the shop and did a little lawnmower maintainance and had little chat with al....love that guy. we spoke of lawn cutting and favors and barter and how some people seem to get it, while others, don't get it at all. oh well.
the other night at topanga andrew asked me of i would, or could, fix the cooler door as the rivets had come out and it was all fucked. it looked simple enough and i could use a free meal so...why not. well, today i went there and after a whole lot of swearing, cut fingers and incredibly dirty fingers i got it done. old parts broke, screws were bent and nuts failed to thread in any real fashion. in the end, the door slides once again and i had a nice little taco snack.
penelope had called while i was in mid freakout at topanga so i called her back to see what was up. she wnated to go play some frisbee - something i had not done for a long while. in high school i played a lot of frisbee golf at windskil park not far from the high school. ok, stop laughing. so we met at a park on dunbar not far from her place and whipped the disc around for a while....it was fun...i liked it.
i decided after that, that i would just head to richmond and cut the dog lawn. when i got there dr. yvonne was just leaving on her bike. we had a nice conversation for the first time - not that she hasn't always been great to me because she has, it was just tonight she wasn't working and could stop and actually talk. she and her husband live not far from the vet. office. i'd have to say that she comes across as a pretty hip vet - good hair, rides a bike to work, fixes dogs and cats...after she left i got going on the lawn and when i was about 1/2 done an SUV came into the driveway and stopped near me. the guy in the car rolled down the window and introduced himself as dr. yvonne's husband, rob. after a few minutes we were chatting about the lawn, living in kits, food, que pasa, etc...he seems like a good guy...maybe they're the coolest couple ever...lol....maybe if i play my cards right they'll invite me over for a bbq before the summer is over....i like griiled chicken.
more lawns tomorrow....
