I have a shelf that I really have to put up for all these collectables and one model that I have to finish. The model is an Imperial Walker that I bought ages ago and just started putting together. *L*

I went into the local collectable shop and got myself a POP! bubble head "Captain Apollo" and that is Captain Apollo from the original Battlestar Galactica that I used to watch when I was in High School. :) It was the only one they had.
That sounds cute.

Helped my friend do outside work today. His brother came along so I didn't have to work on roof repairs, which was nice since Jack doesn't like heights.
I filled up 14 bins with lawn debris. About half of which I'd cut down many weeks back and the other half he must have done himself. I had the driveway clear and the 6 raised garden beds cleared out too.
But then he wanted the pine trees cut back... There's more debris now than there was before.
But I cleared out a spot of all the bramble off the side of the driveway and put it all on a tarp so it can be salted out with the trash the next few weeks. It's all cut down already and easy to put in the bins as they're free now.
While we were up there, I noticed that one of the trees must have been hit by lightning, and it looks like it was years ago. The top 1/5th of the pine tree was hanging down by a sliver and only being held up by the limbs below it. Power lines were close and it was really close to the house and one of the windows.
My lunatic friend got up on a 30 foot ladder with a sawzall, climbed the 15 extra feet he needed to and cut it down himself. It didn't fall so we needed to wrap a few large extension cords over it and pull it down. Somehow it fell perfect. Didn't hit the lines. Didn't hit the house or the window. And somehow my friend is still alive.
Burnt a whole ton of branches and bramble while he was wrapping up the roof. So one more coat of elastomeric paint tomorrow and it should be watertight now. Don't know what he's going to want me to do tomorrow while he's doing that, but I'm sure it will be outside work. Got to take advantage of what little good weather we've got, and since he can only work weekends on his place, he's got a hell of a lot less good weather than I've got to wrap up what I'm doing on mine.
So... no lazy Sunday for me again this week. He wants to do a short 4 or 5 hour day tomorrow, and as much as I'd like to just relax when I get back I'm probably going to mow my lawn tomorrow. I ran out of gas a few days after my car went into the shop and I haven't even gotten any more since. Been too busy with projects to do the chores. I've got my gas can in the car already. Probably pick some up on my way back home and should have a few hours to get it cut so I don't have to worry about it this week.

Logan as in Logan's Run? Or Hugh Jackman's Wolverine? Or someone else?
Gotta get that shelf up so they have a place to relax.

Helped my bud out again today. I think he's got a handle on things and should be able to get done what he needs to get done outside before the weather turns too cold to do outdoor work. I'm sure I'll be back there sometime soon, but I should probably be able to finally turn my focus back to my grandma's house while wrapping up my own work before winter comes.
It was a long day, and I decided to stick around for dinner and just hanging out for a while before coming home, so the lawn didn't get mowed. Got the gas though, so I'll probably be doing that tomorrow.
I think all I'll do tomorrow is sand down the mud in the corners and the few other spots and primer them and then go mow the lawn. It will be nice to be showered and relaxing before sundown for a change.
