busy

We were super busy this weekend. Yesterday, I cut down close to 200lbs of limbs off the tree on the curb in front of our house. The winner there was one limb which weighed in at around 50lbs, and took me close to 30 minutes to saw through.
The citrus deluge continues. Nearly all the monster lemons on the tree are ripe. It seems that the smaller ones (those only baseball sized) have more juice and a stronger flavor than the football sized specimens. Denise picked sixteen dozen tangerines yesterday, and her quick estimate is that there are still at least another six dozen on the tree.
I spent the first half of today sloshing my way through a bunch of test results from work, and preparing to automate a new test. Then this afternoon, I chopped about 9 inches off the top of the hedge directly in front of the house.
