Happy for you **Butters** , and happy for Buddy (albeit I do think he looks like an Axel…;)🆒 **Sari** , your days wear me out, too. Did the love seat make it to the dump? **Bumba** , sounds like you had a good start; hope the actual sale goes as well. Been reviewing my pictures from my vacation, almost 1600 downloaded, but a lot are copies (my old camera will double-shoot pictures a lot when it’s clicked). Reviewed 600 so far and will get to 800 before bedtime, hope to finish the review on Sunday. Nappage turned into sleepage (anything over an hour is no longer nappage IMHO) so I’ll probably be up late tonight. ---

Worked, came home. the weather is messing with my asthma, so Gordie only got a short walk today. I did see my dream car at Harris Teeter, a Triumph TR-6.😃 Yay for being adopted by [del]Axel[/del]Buddy, **Butters**! ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Found my spare house key, will look to get copy(ies) made. **Nut** , I have one of those ‘push-button’ cars that you just need the key (in this case a big oblong thing) in the car before you start it. May stop by the dealership and see what an additional key would cost. DH and I were able to find an unprogrammed key for our car on eBay and take it to the dealership for programming. Saved at least half the cost of buying a key from the dealership. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 95 and mostly cloudy for the day but a zero percent chance of rain.

Other than that, it shall be chillage. Sup will be via forage. Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, purtification for deheathenization must commence.

Morning (hang on, let me check that- yup, barely) all! Laaazy start today. I’ve had something on for at least most of the day every other day this week, so a laaazy day is quite welcome. I’ll probably go brave the stinging things briefly later- I’m going to try cut the grass in front of the hive, I’ve an inkling that might be part of the issue- sounds daft, but the top of the grass is right at hive entrance height, waving around, so there’s moving things right outside, which might be upsetting them. Previously, the site owner’s been cutting the grass, but recently if he gets the strimmer out, they’re going crazy. I’ll do a proper check inside later in the week. Aside from that, today’s plan is to relax and read things, which is my favourite kind of plan. Happy Sunday! ---

When did Harris Teeter start selling cars??? _\_ \*\*FCD \*\*and I are going out for breakfast once he gets his butt out of bed. That’s the extent of my plans for today so far. The critters have been tended to and shortly, I’ll hit the shower, then nudge my sweetie with a pointy stick poke because it’s not breakfast if you eat it after noon. 😃 Happy Sunday!! ---

Happy Sunday! Congrats on the new cutie **Butters** , look at those ears 🙂 It’s a N.O.S 73 degrees outside, supposed to get up to 91. The main item on the agenda for today is to whack out front and hose down the porch. Finally. I have a bunch of weeds out back that need to be bagged up. I also want to get the last of the mulching done. We’re waiting until 9 to get started, still kind of early for a Sunday. I want to get all this stuff done today because I will be irking a lot of overtime for the next two weeks. It’s predicted to be very busy so is an opportunity to make some extra money. The love seat didn’t make it to the dump, **MetalMouse**. My son is pretty adamant that he is _ **not ever** _ going back to _ **that place** _ again. Yes he is. ---

I have strawberry ice cream firming up in the freezer. It looks as if it will be really good, just the right texture. I will have a big bowl later on, as this is my last day of vacation. ---

Someone rescued a call called 10-year-old Kitty Cat from some people who died. Mrs. L.A. wanted to adopt him, but we weren’t sure how Tonka would take it. It got her thinking about getting another cat, and she’s been looking. The idea is to get a cat that can be a companion for 14-year-old Tonka. He can be very jealous. When Creamsicle adopted us, Tonka started peeing inappropriately. They became friends eventually. I think he might get along better with a female cat, than a male one. Mrs. L.A. wants to go to [The Noah Center](https://www.thenoahcenter.org/what-we-do/adopt_a_pet/adopt_a_cat.html) and look at [Goo](https://ws.petango.com/webservices/adoptablesearch/wsAdoptableAnimalDetails.aspx?id=42013727&css=http://www.petango.com/WebServices/adoptablesearch/css/styles.css). We may have another cat today. (Or not. We’ll see.) She also likes [Sammy](https://ws.petango.com/webservices/adoptablesearch/wsAdoptableAnimalDetails.aspx?id=42026761&css=http://www.petango.com/WebServices/adoptablesearch/css/styles.css); but again, I don’t know if Tonka would accept a male. ---

I just finished washing our 2 cars. Not gonna mess with the truck, tho. After I cool down a bit, I’ll vacuum both vehicles, and I may even do the inside windows of mine. \*\*FCD \*\*can do his own! 😛 I fell victim to “As-Seen-On-TV” - I bought some Full Crystal to clean the outside of our windows. It said it’ll do up to 20 windows, the key being “up to.” I did 2 windows (granted, they’re long ones) plus a 4-paned bow window and a 2-door storm door. That was it. By my calculations, it would take 5 packets to clean all the windows in the house. Hah! Plus it claims it will reach windows 27’ away. Four of our windows would be 2nd story - over the walk-out end of the basement. I seriously doubt there’s enough pressure to clean that high. I will say the ones I did clean look pretty good, but still, I’m guess they arrived at 20 based on bathroom-size windows. I’d send them a nasty email, but there’s no option for that on the website. So I just left a bad review at the WalMart site, since I bought it there. Bottom line, save your money. ---

The front yard got whacked, and the porch got hosed. We need more mulch out front, I knew it wasn’t deep enough, and now all kinds of things are poking their little green heads through. I weeded for an hour out back, it’s very hot out, too hot to stay out there too long. At least I remembered the Repel today. Yesterday I was getting eaten alive by the little bastridges. I think we will skip the dog park again today. I have too much stuff to do and it’s awfully hot anyway. ---
