So far, I've put in a couple hours on the yard the last few days, and I can see a bit of difference, even if no one else can. The weather's been great for me and yard work - in the low 60s, cloudy, not much wind. But things keep interrupting. And I get a lot of cat help, which significantly adds to the time it takes to accomplish things, lol.

nswef, kudos on tackling the laptop. that sort of stuff stresses me to the max!
