We moved into the new place, unfinished, in March. Been working on
trim and cabinetry on a 6-7 day/week basis much of the time since
then. I think I have been suffering from a bit of burn-out recently
because the last cabinet job was below my usual standard.
A couple of weeks ago I was walking our dog when the engineer for our
rural community stopped to chat. He told me they were trying to
assemble and install a new set of playground equipment that they had
acquired via a grant. "Would I be interested in helping out?"
I said sure, I needed a break. On that particular morning it was
about 50 degrees and birds were chirping. We finished assembly of the
thousands of parts a few days ago. During the past few days we have
been installing in steadily deteriorating weather. Went to the park
at 7:30 this morning and it was 34 degrees with a 20 MPH wind. Came
home at noon and it was 17 degrees....same 20 mph wind.
I wanted to kick the damned dog, but he's a German Shepherd.

That there is funny.
Reminds me of a woman in my old neighborhood who had these harnesses on her
two dogs. And she strapped herself to them. And they would go walking,
running, whatever. Those dogs dragged her all over and she fought them. It
was a game. I marveled at her and asked exactly what was going on. She said
it was a form of "dog aerobics".
I guess you did your version of "dog aerobics" this morning.

Hlarious! It reminded me of when I had a dog. People heard me
talking to him thought I was talking to someone else.
He was blamed for everything I could possibly blame him for, and then
some.
Thankfully, he never took it personally. But he was threatened and
awful lot with dire consequences for his many infractions, real OR
imagined.
I just had a <great> picture of you swearing at your dog..... =3D^)

Our Great Dane and I went on our usual 2 mile walk this morning for the
first time in a week or so. Houston is having one of its coldest ten
Decembers on record and I am almost ready for Summer.
Anyway at about half way out, the farthest point from home the HEAVY fog
turned to rain. Ever walk a Great Dane that does not like to be out in the
rain and knows exactly how to get home...... HANG ON..!!!!!!!!
