Go outside and play!

I had an AM meeting, checking in here, now going out for the day.

It's friggin' beautiful weather. The most perfect day.

Walk the dogs then run around the lakes, here's Lake Harriet, 3 blocks from me.

It's good to be here!

It must be nice to live in a place where you can breathe the air. I have to take numerous antibiotics to ward off sinus infections and then put on my Haz-mat suit and respirator to go out and get the mail, afterwards taking a shower in a containment tent before re-entering my house.

Sounds fun!

I used to do a lot of canoeing, in the Boundary Waters and farther north near Churchill, Manitoba. Maybe it's time to find a used Old Towne and get back at it. Plenty of rivers in our backyard...

I went outside, and glued my new hood pad on! Procrastination over.

Ahh, nice wind, 86 degrees, a G500, bottle of Gold Class, Bucket, Wash Mitten, Shammy, Iced Tea, and a hose.

Nice day to wash the G, and take her for spin to the grocery store. Grill a steak, and eat outside on the patio.



Ted, have you buckled down, and got a job yet? Or are you out playing with the Porsches in the S600?

Are the skeeters biting yet in MN? Yesterday evening was nice in MI due to a nice breeze that kept the skeeters grounded. I went in the woods this morning and could not bare the skeeters, they starting the feeding frenzy and I'm going to be Daddy to a million new skeeters next week. Time to start the Vitamin b.

For some reason the Ticks have been on the upswing as well.

Not that I've noticed. We haven't had much rain this spring. Once we get a few good rains, they'll be out in full force. Nothing like having all those hot and bothered females after ya'!

Talkin' about hiking and camping at Fort Polk, Mrs B & I are camping at Kisatchie again this weekend in an area just north of Tiger Ridge. It's kind of restful going to sleep with the sound of distant artillery creaming Peason Ridge. Hope the howitzers are ****** with the skeeters, ticks, chiggers, rattlers, moccasins, and coppah-haids, cause I'll be layin' in the shack 'til the mail train comes back, ....

Cool

update on my weekend;

Sat. swam a bunch of laps...

Sun: After AM dog walking Picked up nice lite blue Glidden paint & FINALLY did the upstairs bathroom. 2-3 hrs.

Quick snack and did a favor for the eX and installed her B-day present. A Sirius radio in her Accord.

In so. FL we finally got rain in last 4-5 days and put out the burning swamp fires just a few miles from our house. Last few days you can finally breathe in w/o choking on smoke.

Worked today & hit the gym for a workout. Later opened up the rear dr side door panel on the YEllow SD & put the regulator back on the track, hooked the bottom door light & cig lighter back up; treated the 1 spot of rust on the car, under the door with rust DR & resealed the plastic weather proofing with electric tape.

Tomorrow I'll swim again. Later this week I expect delivery of a "new" RED '79 300SD from Austin, TX. ( hi Ho! )

Friday the son is graduating from HS. Hallejullah !!!!



Next week travelling to KC to look at plastic & eat waffles with Chinese people.


....
