My aching back

I've been working a lot lately....picking up what has fallen.  I'm saving up to buy a leaf vacuum before my back snaps.  A riding mower that has a bagger and a leaf vacuum are what I asked Santa for this year.  Santa was also informed  of my need for an edger and a new weedeater. Santa will no doubt bring me DVDs and bath soaps, oh well.  Joe will be back on Monday, I had an e-mail from him this morning. He said a fire broke out onboard and took out some of the systems, it was brief and he didnt elaborate.  I hate the Navy, I'll be glad when he doesnt have to go out to sea anymore.  Anyway, time for dinner. Tata!
