More Preparation For Mountain Winter
Very heavy rain at times most of Thursday and Friday. No rain Saturday, allowing me to patch more driveway cracks. Big chore for the day was spreading 400 pounds of quick-setting concrete around two sections of the house foundation. Maria had to work all day Saturday, so I played concrete-man by myself. Due to steep slippery slope on one side of house, moved the bags one at a time in an old children's wagon. Tight quarters forced me to spread most of the first 250 pounds one small scoop at a time. Very sore today, but glad I did it, as it is now raining again. I may spread more concrete next weekend, after I see how things develop.
By the end of the day, Maria and I were both exhausted. During dinner, we watched the DVD of the 2002 movie Showtime with Robert De Niro, Eddie Murphy, and Rene Russo. The Internet Movie Database summary: "A spoof of buddy cop movies where two very different cops are forced to team up on a new reality based T.V. cop show."
Later in the evening we saw the 1996 movie Chain Reaction on the AMC channel, starring Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, and Rachel Weisz. The IMDB summary: "Two researchers in a green alternative energy project are put on the run when they are framed for murder and treason."
