No walk today, but I still got a work out!

It was raining this morning, so we decided not to walk.  I had made arrangements with Bob to pick up the mower he donated to the LCRC so I hooked up the trailer and we headed out about 9.  The picture is as you come up the driveway to his place, it is a beautiful setting.  After loading the mower and a short visit with Bob, we took the mower to the Toledo field.
After unloading it and putting it in the barn, I put in one flight on the Spacewalker.  Only one flight because I broke the prop when I misjudged a landing and landed in the tall grass.  After a stop at home for lunch and to put the new Dish receiver in the house, we decided that since the trailer was hooked up we would run down and get more rock for a short path Vera wanted by the pond.  When we got back home I hooked up the new receiver and packed up the bad one to send back.  I ran down to the UPS drop it off in Castle Rock and they looked at the tag and informed me it was a Fedex label.  Why did it come UPS and then have to go back Fedex?  I had a nice laugh with the clerk.  When I got home Vera reminded me that we were going to town on Friday and I could drop it off then.
Next, I went out and washed off the new rocks, then I loaded them into the wagon and I couldn't budge it as all four tires were flat, 350 lbs of rock were a little much for tires with hardly any air in them!  After I pumped them up things went much better and I laid out the rocks to get an idea how they were going to look, once we are happy with the layout, I will level them up.  Moving those rocks was my work out for today!  I got in 4 flights on the helicopter before the mosquitoes started bugging me and I called it a night.
