A beautiful day to spend outside!

My day started out attending a mandatory class for election workers. Tuesday is primary day here in New Jersey and I signed up to work at the polls.It's a days pay ......a very long day not including the 2 hour class today.The pols open at 6 a.m and close at 8 p.m. Not terrible except we have to report in by 5:15 and we don't get to break down until the lines subside.Still,it's a days pay!
After 5 days in a row at the gym , I decided a day off would be in order.Now I have the time to tinker around the house a bit. This weekend's project.....the back deck.
I have divided up my property into 6 distinct areas. Trying to tackle the entire yard in one shot is way to daunting a task. 
There is the front deck, the side patio,the back deck, the back yard, the pool area and the shed.
The side patio and the front deck are done. The pool is open and running (I still have work to do in cleaning up the area that surrounds the pool).The shed is semi- organized and will get completed when all of the rest of the areas are addressed.So that leaves the back yard and deck.
The logical choice is the deck first as it is directly attached to the house and leads to the yard. Makes sense to me (and I'm the only one who gets to vote!).
Looking out of my window, it seems that I have a lot of work ahead of me. Kind of like day 1 on a diet or first day back at the gym, the only way to get started is to get started.As in any other Journey, we start with a single step and just keep going. One step at a time,one foot in front of another.
Cleaning the deck includes washing down lawn furniture, sweeping up dead leaves,washing down the siding,cleaning the grill and any thing else that may need attending to (including cleaning the gutters!).
I could sit here and enumerate and pontificate on the magnitude of the job ahead of me or I could just get off of my butt and go get started.
Yep....I guess I'll catch up with you later!
