I got out the sledge hammer, a pry bar and a pick. I started to bang away on the side walk. I started to make a deep groove in one section of the concrete. I then got the pry bar under the slab to see if I could lift the piece. I then discovered that the slab is reinforced with wire mesh. I'll need to rethink how I break the side walk.
I did learn something. I had heard that you can get worms to come to the surface with deep thrumming noises. As I was banging away on the slab, I noticed a bunch of worms had come to the surface. I guess the story is true!
I then decided to work on my tractor. I remembered that I had noticed a broken sway bar bracket. I went to the tractor store and ordered a new part. I did remove the wheel weighs and put a new air filter and gas filter in, but still have a number of tasks to do before I can mow the grass (sharpen blades, change oil and filter, install new bracket, remove the plow, install mower deck).
I then went for a bike ride. It was windy and cool, but the sun was out and the trees and bushes are starting to leaf out.
I guess I have something to do next weekend!

Oh, poor Dad! My paint project got sidelined too... Those Gremlins came and took some of my supplies and hid them on me.... (it's not because I just threw everything in the basement and now I can't find stuff... lol)
It was nice but windy here too. I felt bad for this guy that I drove past today. He had the awful job of holding an advertisment poster on a street corner, and when the whind picked up, it was all he could do to not sail away with that posterboard!
Ugh.. Too late to be typing...
I meant *wind*. Duh....
Oh my goodness! Don't you hate it when a plan goes bad. gotta step back and rethink it. I don't have quite the setbacks living in the city, but I have them. I enjoy reading your blog. Blessings.
