i was cleaning out the lawn order headquarters today and came across these reproduction jerseys i bought ages ago in seattle...mike and cheryl look pretty good in them...i kicked some kind of lawn order ass yesterday - taking care of three regular lawn order types as well as three fringe players...and it's the fridge players that are always the wild card...the russian - i kinda know what to expect from her except yesterday it was her husband, i think, who snuck up on me and paid me in with a wad of five dollar bills and then inquired about a discount should he decide he wants me here/there more often, i said sure - more scared he was maybe gonna off me...then he was gone, off to fiddle in the front yard with a fishing pole. another fringe player, meg, called me and asked if i could help her out, that her 'friend' who had been helping her do the lawn had now gone a.w.o.l. sure meg, i can....meg's lawn is always a chore. long, unruly and one that has me emptying the lawn bag 12 to 15 times...good lord...so time spent vs. money made is way out of whack...i also do her mom's lawn up in dunbar so it kinda offsets the whole thing...i think...which brings us to the top of lonsdale in north van - like way up...the second to the last house on the hill...and it was more than lawn cutting, it was bush whacking and brush removal...just under two hours of it - but i really kinda liked it, the woman whose house i was at is great, so i don't mind doing a little or a lot extra...i was a little beat when all was said and done...so margaritas were in order with senor tornack and 'he who can not be named on the blog'.
today was a one lawn day and then a trip to la taqueria...it was a five taco day...love that place. and then off to give the car a clean as i'm heading to portland tomorrow with ailsa for a little weekend away and i like to give the border guards as little to work with as possible.
ok...dinner soon...but before that a quick meeting with megan to take her picture...
