The rate of growth has finally slowed to a manageable level. We got all accounts done on schedule this week, the first time this season. I've picked up quite a number of new accounts too, it seems our work is getting noticed. All new accounts are neighbors of existing clients.
I had a slight accident the other day that I can laugh about now, but at the time took me by surprise. I was cutting around a mature apple tree with the Z rider and was watching the end of the deck so I didn't injure the trunk. This took an approaching branch at forehead level out of my peripheral view and WHACK!!!!
The branch was about 6" in diameter and didn't move. I finally understand what those rotating stars above a cartoon character's head are about! When I hit it was like a big flash of lightning had occurred and it took a few moments to figure out what had just happened. I guess I've never whacked my head hard enough to see stars before.
Fortunately I was wearing a straw hat and just got a minor bruise from the ordeal. I looked around to make sure no one had witnessed my stunt and went about my business like nothing happened, lol.
