Scott is coming today, to help Jeff remove and install the old and new appliances. Also, leaving us today, is an old tube television and Jeff's office chair. So, a trip to the dump will happen today. If not, then Scott will have all of these things rattling around in the truck.
Jeff has ordered a new office chair, so my thinking is, throw the old chair away, let Jeff use another chair, until his new one arrives. If you're going to the dump, might as well make the most of your trip.
When we lived in California, we had Jeff's old Willy Jeep (correct name?) and in those days we were mostly hauling bamboo. In our case, when we bought the house, we didn't notice the bamboo growing in the yard. Trouble with bamboo is, that the plant doesn't just go underground. Nope. The first step in removing bamboo is to remove all the root mass and rhizome. Rhizomes? : modified stems running underground horizontally.
Let's just say that the removal of bamboo is not an easy task, and is frustrating to remove. With all those little stems underground, it does you no good to simply cut the plant down. Because, what remains are those pesky stems that you can't see. I can't tell you how many weekends, Jeff spent digging up all the stems. There was a bit of satisfaction when he got hold of a stem and began to dig and pull it out of the ground. Hence, the multiple trips to the dump. After much work, and cheer leading on the side (me), all the bamboo was gone. These days, all you have to say to Jeff is bamboo and he shutters. There are apparently, some bamboo plants that don't spread out their roots. However, it would make a very good privacy plant in the backyard! Perhaps, best if planted in a pot.
Appointment with the hypnotist this afternoon. It's only 20 minutes long, kind of like a meet and greet. We'll see how that goes.
Cold and windy out today. Not a very nice day to be outside.
Thought for the day: Don't enter your next meeting as a beige station wagon. Be a roaring red convertible with the top down.
