I confess. I learned a new word the other day. "Estivate" was in a crossword puzzle: "to pass or spend the summer".
It seems most of my posts are about my estivations. I'm certainly more active in the summer, although a second meaning of the word is "to spend the summer in a dormant condition". Definitely not me.

Things have dried out considerably around here. The septic system is in place and functioning. The ground needs leveling, but no big deal.

Went on a tour of Lafayette's Caterpiller facility Thurs. What a massive operation. I was quite amazed and impressed. I didn't understand much of the tour guide's technical talk, but a appreciated the logistics of the plant.

Personnally, I'm feeling pretty good. I had a rough first two hours of sleep last night (churning bowels), got up, had a leftover peanut butter pancake and milk, watched some late night TV bozos (awful), and slept like a log. Got up and ran 6 miles to beat the heat, ate breakfast, and got online.
Yard and garden work awaits me.

Have a great day and weekend.
