Survived the first hectic week of return to class with our little team. It's slowing down a bit, as it always does.

Today in 1975, 48 years ago: in the Nevada atomic test area (about 100 km northwest of the city of Las Vegas), at 9:00 am (local time), the United States detonates its 7 kiloton Marsh atomic bomb 427 m underground. It is the 851st of 1132 bombs that the United States detonated between 1945 and 1992.

union pacific railroad station (now a museum), side view, nampa, idaho, 2004
The blade had dulled over three summers, it had some fairly sizable nicks in it and I decided to purchase a replacement for about $28. That did it. It's as good as new. I'll try and repair the old one and use it as a spare, but I need some tools.
My 40v 20" Ryobi electric mower - which had previously been one of my favorite purchases started to perform really badly this summer. It would clog constantly, and seemed to be consuming the battery a lot faster. The problem was my ignorance of mowers.

My 7yr old sat on a lawn tractor outside Home Depot. He said "I wish you would buy me one of these. *Finally* I would go where I want"
