The more things change .. the more they don't!

sometimes it's even too hot for Chihuahuas. Thank God for air conditioning!

Well, I'm a little late in getting back to this but I have a good excuse. Remeber that project I wrote about in my last posting. Well, it took a few days lonmger than my guy (and the boss) projected. In truth it's not fully fininhed yet but, as my guy says, the hardest part is done. All that's left is to put on the molding around the walls. My guy went out and bought a small air compressor and nail gun to do that job but he decided it was just too hot (over 100% the last three days) to even start the task. Hopefully it can be finished in one day when he does get to it.

I've got to tell you about the kid's (Russell) baseball experience last week. Actually, I wasn't there because they left me home to guard the house but the rest of the family went to Mt. Hood Community College in Troutdale last wednesday where Russell was "evaluated" for his potential to play college baseball -- and hopefully receive an athletic scholarship. From what I understand is was a pretty thorough evaluation of his baseball pitching skills and we will receive the results of the evaluation in about a month. We all have our fingers (paws) crossed. The good thing is that Russell thought it was a good experience and he thought he did "OK"., whatever that means.

Well, summer is coming to a pretty quick close now, tomorrow my guy goes back to driving the sports bus shuttle and the kid starts his "daily doubles" football practice. Oh, and before I forget, tomorrow is also my folk' (adopted) 47th wedding anniversary. I think I better remind my guy about that when we get up in the morning. I don't know what they have planned but I hope it includes treats for their best dog. Also coming up on Wenesday is the kids (Russell) 17th birthday. I'm going to try to go the whole day without barking at him.

Well enough for now. Tis hot weather really wears me out so it's time for antother nap.

Keep the peace - and be nice to your dog!

Binker, the Thompson dog!
