Pressure Washing a fence is hard...

Going into this weekend, my goals were simple:
Friday: Golf 18 holes.
Saturday: Trim, mow and pressure wash the fence.
Sunday: Stain the fence.
No problem...

Well, it started out ok. Got the golf in, beautiful weather... unfortunately horrible golf, shooting 46/46 for 92 with 38 freakin' putts, including 6 3-putts. Disgusting wouldn't even come close to describing it.

Saturday morning I got up raring to go. Trimmed and mowed then put the pressure washer together (gas powered, just bought it). Unfortunately I misjudged how long it would take. 3 hours later I'd only done one side and just the outside. Took me 6 hours more on Sunday to finish and I was toast. Missed a few spots with the sunscreen too so now I've got a few places that are pretty f'ing red.

So, now I'll have to wait. Looks like Friday before I can get to staining. Going to my nephew's baseball game tomorrow, golf league Wedneday and hockey starts again on Thursday.

The weather is at least cooperating as it will be mid to upper 80's all week. I have not 1, but 2 golf tournaments this weekend too. Saturday is the 27 hole challenge at Door Creek, with Retro as my partner for the first time. Mike is going on a motorcycle trip to West Virginia so he's not available. Sunday is the father/son tournament at Baraboo. We took 2nd last year and my dad is jacked up about it, wants to win. We'll see... probably not a chance the way I'm playing right now.

Oh, Cdubya got her first birdie yesterday! A robin...

92 with six 3 putts!!! I'd be happy, okay, surprised I shot a 92 thinking it should a have been an 86. Ha-ha, did you mount Cdubya's Birdie?

That's my game.... get to the green, take forever to get in the hole. I wish there were a magical cure for bad putting but I haven't found one yet. I keep trying more beer but that doesn't seem to help. :)

The birdie flew away unfortunately.
