10. I used to run a farm - I know how to pace myself in the heat

But I am older and my body is not as fit as it used to be so I have to take it a lot easier. I'm trying to get as much done now so all that has to be done in the hot part of the year is weed. I've got someone to do the mowing, so that's not a problem. if it comes down to it, I may pay someone to come weed about once a month to make sure it gets done.

Believe me, I don't plan to over do. I can't afford another injury or problem to deal with.
