The cool mornings are beginning. This is when I really appreciate that first cup of coffee.
I want to put the last coat of finish on the four chairs today. But this will wait until noon when the temperature warms up a bit. The tete-a-tete is still slightly tacky and will wait at least one more day before receiving its last coat.
I will visit the Burnco yard and see about a bag of pebbles to put around one of our Japanese lanterns in the back yard. This will finish the area where we used to have the compost bin.
And I would like to visit a battery store and see if I can work something out for my gps unit. I then need to figure out how to load a topo map into the unit.

The four chairs have now received their last coat of finish. I still have to mount the backs onto the frame, but that will only take a few minutes once the finish has dried.
I am beginning to feel that I am on holidays. The amount of yard work was only a fraction of what it has been the last two weeks. I even did a walk in the coulee for some exercise. I took my gps with me. It wasn't too impressive as the map focuses on streets and I was often a long distance from the nearest one. All I could see was a pale yellow wasteland (on the screen). I am trying to see how long the battery lasts when away from the car. I had it on for just over an hour and the battery indicator moved from 4 squares to 3, suggesting the battery will last for about 4 hours between charges. At the moment I can only charge it by either using a car 12v receptacle or by using the USB port on a computer.
