Neighbor children left us their fish while they went on vacation. I kid you not, not even a day later and one of the two was belly up dead.

Gonna have to source a new look alike fish before they get back Friday and are wondering what happened to Claire.

Fucking Wyoming fireworks had my dogs freaked. Mori was so bad I had to sedate him with some Acepromazine. All 4 of them piled on top of me for the night. Ruth went and used the guest room so she could get some sleep. At least the shit stopped by 11

Espresso then off to the Delta I go

Here. Storm decided wakeup time was midnight and proceeded to start throwing dime- to nickel-sized hail at the house. I'll get the car washed this afternoon to have a clean surface to look at, but this might have been the storm that got it. I saw a couple new dents in the shingles just looking out the window, so the roof and siding will need to get looked at too.

One meeting and a class this morning, but I expect the class will be a no-show, so I'll just study. This afternoon will be busy, tomorrow is jammed all day, then Friday is cleanup before I leave for two weeks.

took the genesis into the garage to have an electronic thermostat fixed. brought my bike to ride back as it's just like 2 miles home. stupid derailleur cable pulled out so I had to ride in the largest gear the whole way back

anyways, how are you?

Well, at least today started with a big "thank you for [stuff]. I wouldn't have been able to [stuff] and retire in two weeks without all of your help." Nice way to start the day off.

given how much you've spent after the race car stopped working due to the accident, i'd say that's not the case.



yes that's the idea. i should add that today it is 90F and 90% RH.
Running costs.

Either way, both are poor decisions. Fun, but poor decisions.

I made the smart decision to drive in today

because more storms this afternoon since this is how we're rolling the whole year apparently. DIA surpassed normal annual rainfall as of yesterday's storm.

I'd check to see what home insurance rates would do were there a pool

I've not washed the car since winter - no need. Only need now is to check for dents. Brave New World out here.

Follow-up visit with orthopedic specialist was a bit of a let down today. he was pretty dismissive. "yeah, it'll heal fine. just wait 6 weeks and you'll be good to go. in the mean time don't do any push-pull movements".

I kind of assumed because of the location of the fracture ("Nondisplaced extra articular fracture through the supraspinous portion of the scapula"), that it might heal quicker than the typical 6 weeks. I also hoped that healing was more of a exponential curve than a "switch" (no-go to go) and I could start doing some easy stuff (like canoeing maybe) after 4 or 5 weeks... Maybe my physio will give me more hope?!

Nothing caught fire last night, and nobody's hand looks like exploded sausages, so I we can safely pack that one away for a another year. Day off today. The plan is to do absolutely nothing and live off of whatever is left in the cooler.

My old dog must be getting pretty deaf. Bummed about that, but at least we could properly enjoy watching the fireworks down in the valley without her being a nervous wreck.

Minimal private fireworks around here - dare I say it? People finally figured out that it’s pretty easy to burn this place to the ground…
