My chores include making sure the GF's house doesn't look abandoned when people drive by. I've been attacking it as best I can, given the limitations of my back and shoulders. Lawn's looking okay, got the yard waste burnt last night, and next week (weather permitting) there's some exterior patchwork and touchup painting to do. At my place, I've got the cauldrons filled with fresh oil, two new spools of razor wire to go around the top of the compound fence, and I've been vacillating on whether or not to expand the moat a few more yards. Last year's punji stakes look good enough, but I have to go and restock the minefield after last winter. The ground expanding and contracting must've set off half of them, by my estimate. Not sure if I should invest in another pallet of Claymores, because those darn kids keep stealing them for the 4th of July. I've also been looking for a suitable moat-monster as well, because it's getting too expensive to keep restocking with fresh alligators every spring. Maybe I'll put an ad out on CL for any bio-engineers who could cross a gator with a bear, as long as it didn't try to hibernate. Well, it's about sundown now. I should get up on the parapet and warm up the flamethrower before the zombies and Mormon missionaries show up...
