Dog Days of August on the Coast


Well, it's been hot, but what else is new? My wife, for one thing. She is hot! I can't help it. I am madly in love with her. Sickening, isn't it! Deal with it. My wife is looking over my shoulder and says I look good too.

I'm sitting on the couch in my Dr Pepper pants typing this and thinking about the events of the day. It was frustrating at times. I had a couple of simple tasks to do. First, fix the door bell. Second
flip the door going into the master bath. It opens the wrong direction.

The Door Bell:
I went to McCoys and bought a wireless one. Got home, installed it, and you guessed it, It wouldn't work. Later this adternoon, I went back to McCoys, got my money back and went to Lowes and ity works great.

Flipping the Door:
I got all the trim off finally. I think they put one nail every 4 inches. They were everywhere. Got the door out turned around. I was thirsty and Janet and I went to Sonic for happy hour. All drinks half price you see. I ordered a diet cherry limeade. Janet ordered a canberry limeade. They both tasted good. Anyway, got home, and started back on the door project. I had just sat my diet cherry limeade down, and you guessed it, a pice of trim fell and knocked the drink on the carpet and I had red stuff everywhere on that tan carpet. It was an ugly shade of pink. Fortunately, Janet came to the rescue and was able to clean up my mess. The door, well it is in and works great. Basically, a frustrating day. But that's the way life is sometimes.

A quote from my niece Jessica: Raising kids is like being pecked to death by chickens!
I can relate to that.

Well, it's time for a snack, ice cream and animal crackers.

I posted a picture from the beach I took a while back. I don't know why I went to the beach. I don't like it, there's sand and it's hot and sticky.

So glad you updated...especially since the crazy people asked you too. You should always do what the crazy people tell you to. Life will be easier for you that way. :)

Being a founding member of the "Face in the Wind" club, your father is one also, being crazy is just second nature. My wife Janet is finding out.
