Well, over the weekend, I was hoping to get the garage door fixed, mow the lawn, get teh gutters and panels that had been ripped off by the recent windstorm back in place, and maybe start working on the new shed.

Wrestled the garage door open far enough to remove the lawn mower from the garage, started mowing the lawn, and the muffler fell off the lawn mower. Turns out, one of the retaining bolts is comepletely missing, and the other sheared off, leaving the tip in the bolt hole. Seem to have burned my finger on the hot muffler from when it feel off the lawn mower (yes, I was using padding to pick it up, I think I butned myself anyway). Got to the hardware store, and got a replacement bolt, put that in place, but that's not going to last long. I need a new lawn mower.

Got the gutters & panels back to where they should be, with the major help of my housemate and a couple of friends.

Garage door is unfixable by me, I need a new one.

Oh, my truck is on it's last bit of functioning; clutch/transmission is going, it's getting nearly impossible to shift [Yes, it's a manual].

Went to a local resturant during one of my breaks in all this work, the fed me onioins, causing a massive headache. Spent last night in a serious daze from the two benadryls I took to deal with the allergic reaction to the onions.

Never got to the shed at all, and I didn't finish mowing the lawn, either.

At least the gutters are done.

Fuck everything.
