3.6 hrs --> mowed lawn --> grass 5" tall & very thich in places. Moles are becoming quite a problem & there are now at least 25 dirt mounts from their burrowing activities. I also trimmed grass around posts, firepit, wagon, & house with hedge clippers, and pulled all weeds out of fire pit.

Arrived back at SF after 9-day hiking trip to the Great Smoky Mts. A huge pile of branches, boards, & logs was in front of the gate - I could barely drive by it. Spent an hour slinging all the wood into surrounding forest & sorted out & disposed of all non-biodegradable trash within the pile. The gall of some people continues to amaze me.

1/2 hr → cut apart 2 downed trees along road that runs between E. property line & main road.

1 AM → discovered taht between 6PM (when walked to gate) and 12 PM (when Marni drove up) on 4/29 someone had knocked mailbox off its post, had smashed a vodka bottle against the gate, and had pulled a long shagbark hickory (1 going along road ~50 yards N. of gate) across the main road to obstruct it. Reported this vantalism to secruity + they came out this afternoon to take a report. (Report #XX-XXXX)

Spent 45' to replace mail box on post (cut a new baseboard). Post is cracked on strut & a little wobbly, but should be OK unless someone tries to knock it down again.

[April 29 → spent 45' walking around property and picking up trash]

2.5 hrs → mowed the lawn for the 1st time this season & repaired recoil mechanism on motor (which was supposedly repaired by A2 Implements earlier in April!)

April 18, 1991

1 hr → cleaned road of 2 trees that fell at same time as 4 above (a basswood & box elder) → along creek road.
