Unpopular opinion: the worst week I ever had on the job was when a customer stood over me the whole time, not the one where I found 3 nests and a cracked flue

My bank teller in Tulsa pointed out a free class that got me my first office job

Free Excel class beats another 7 months of "we'll keep your resume on file," honestly.

I thought city tree planting programs were a photo op, until I saw the shade data from my own block

Did you ever check the temps on your own street, because I did mine and the shaded sidewalk was 20 degrees cooler.

Update: my neighbor's dead lawn in Concord came back in 6 weeks after he stopped mowing it to the dirt every Saturday

Did you ever try just raising the deck before messing with soil and seed?

My 12 year old rain barrel split at the seam last Tuesday and I'm glad it did

Guessing the barrel heard your water bill was only $22 and decided to retire early. Maybe just run a hose from the overflow to a soaker bed so the extra water feeds your plants instead of the neighbor's lawn.

Built a lean-to off my shed after 3 years of wet firewood

$180 for a 10x6 setup from the lumber yard in Eugene is wild to me, I priced corrugated panels alone last spring and it was more than that. Did you catch a sale or is your yard just way cheaper than mine... makes me wonder if I got hosed. Either way the north side is smart, that's where the weather hits hardest.
