Dug up another wheelbarrow full of goatheads this afternoon after the sun got low. Could not believe what one rain will do, I worked hard and cleaned out the goathead plants, went on a brief trip, back to square one.   

The dodder was fairly easily scooped up, I think before it had time to dig in to anything except gravel and weeds. I'll keep watching.

This week's aggravation was with the replacement spool of string trimmer line. The string that came with the nice lightweight trimmer was thin but worked very well even on tough stuff. It ran out, saw nothing identical around, and regrettably got a bad brand to replace it. Had to feed out new line about every 60 seconds.

Last night, made a stop at a different store which advertised a nice selection of brands online AT THAT STORE. Got there, only 15 varieties of the same bad brand and some expensive cartridges. Oh well. Settled for rounder and thicker, we'll load the bobbin and see how that does tomorrow.
