Very Rough Day . . .

It was a very rough day on the links in more ways than one.  Saturday evening, my throat became very scratchy.  Sunday afternoon the other side became scratchy and I developed a cough.  In spite of everything, I seemed to sleep pretty good.  By the time I got to work, I was feelin bad and got worse as the day bounced on.  Standard stuff, cough, scratchy throat, stuffy nose, burnin eyes, headache and a bit of the chills, which probably means a bit of fever.  This is the second cold of the summer.  I can't remember ever havin a summer cold till this summer . . . and I've been around quite a few summers.  I'm hopin I'm hittin bottom 'cold-wise' and will start gettin better tomorrow.

Started mowin the rough again first thing this mornin.  Something I seem to do every Monday . . . It doesn't stay mowed very good . . .   I was makin really good time till about 10:30.  I was mowin around a tree and suddenly I felt like I was on ice.  It seems that the steering apparatus gave out.  No one answered their phone, so I walked to the shop and mowed the rest of the day with that dreaded little Toro, the trim mower.  It was a very bumpy ride and did nothing to help my delicate condition . . .  Parts for the big mower were ordered and should be here tomorrow via UPS.  I don't really expect to be back on the big Toro till Wednesday mormin . . . 

If could really use some sympathy here, if you have any extra you could spare . . . . . . .
