Finally got the last of the oak firewood blocks hauled out of the field and up
to the farm this past weekend.  I estimate it was about 9 loads to get the job
completed.  Looks like spring may be here to stay finally in Iowa.  Trees
still haven't fully leafed out yet.  Although, the plum trees are just now
finally starting to push out blossoms as well as the cherry trees.  

Mowed the yard for the first time last Friday.  Doesn't take more than 45
min., but boy is it rough.  It does not look that bad, but my mower bounces
around like  mad.  My guess is that the previous owners had dogs that went out
and roughed it up over the years.  And my new grass is finally starting to
come up in patches.  I'm hoping it will finish up nicely here in the coming
months.  Got a chance to smooth it out nicely before all of the rains hit this
week.

Otherwise, not a whole lot new here.  As alluded to, I spent the weekend out
on the farm for the first time since Easter.  Nice weather for the first time
this spring.  I'm looking forward to my week off next month to really get
outdoors.  

Work is grinding away slowly.  Got another release done, two more to go before
I'm out of work.  Still waiting to see if the June project is going to happen
or not.  Puttering with the VBA-Access 2003 program now.  What a fookin' mess.
 Still finding careless mistakes everywhere in the product from previous
developer's tender care.

Ground my way to 61% to lvl 4 Reaver rep.  At current pace, may get there in a
month ahead of projection.  Found a nice run that gets me easy rep daily...as
long as too many people don't clutter the area.  Old itch to game hard at home
in the evening is abated due to Ewige's busy RL.

Weigh in last night, 170.5, which is good.  Back to weight before Easter
bloat.  Now, let's see if I can continue the good work and get to those 16x
numbers in the coming weeks.  Even keeping up with a weekly yoga session. 
Still sucking, just not as bad as the first couple of times.  Tonight's blog
