Charles is spending a bunch of time at work in an effort to get a better job.  Any way I started by using a hedge cutter to conquer some over-grown plants along the drive way, which is steep.  I am guessing a 15 to 20 degree slope.  This was my exercise for the day.  It has all the elements of the perfect workout for me; Lots of sun, sweating, doing work that makes my muscles sore, and best of all something gets accomplished. Most of the time what gets accomplished when I am working out is I am getting a tan. I believe I could become a yard work bum.  I could go from house to house telling people I would do their yard work for free, or mostly free.  All I would require is a semi-cold drink of water several times during the day.  I would get tan, I would get pretty ripped too.  Maybe I should put up an advertisement on Craigslist.  However, people may think of some kind of freak.  No I think I am going to need referrals to get the yard work bum thing going.  I am going to need to do some more thinking about this.  I first came up with the idea as I was doing the weed whacking.  You may think I am crazy or frivolous  but I think I could get a new trend started.  The yard working bum work-out.  I could probably sell t-shirts, but probably not videos.  Well maybe desperate women would by the video&#8217;s to watch a buff tan guy do yard work.  I think that would be part of the second phase of my life as a marketing guru and yard working bum.  Okay maybe that last part about the video&#8217;s was a bit frivilous.  Long live the yard working bum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in an effort to stay sane I decided to do a bit of yard work.
