Whew! What a day.

I went out to dig a trench for laying an electrical line between the breaker-box and the pool pump. The heat was killing me and I decided I’d be better off renting a small trencher from Home Depot. Unfortunately, the first trencher I brought home stopped working after about 10 feet — the engine would run, but the cutting chain wouldn’t. So it went back on the truck and back to the store. Fortunately, they had another one and were willing to reset the rental clock. Even using the trencher it was hot, dehydrating work. I got the job done fairly quickly, but had to cool down a couple of hours afterwards. Dry heat or not, 110+ is hard to take.
