Saturday Evening Post
May. 31st, 2008 08:14 pmBuzz has spent the day sleeping in the hidey-hole, coming out to eat, drink, and pee. It was very warm today, so I don't blame him for finding a nice cool place. I appreciate his thoughtfulness in using the blue pads. :-)
He got his penicillin and the chin isn't swollen so no hot compress or flush tonight.
Honey put together the new charcoal grill that I found on Amazon (one of their special deals, a grill that was originally around $120, selling for $40 plus S/H -- still an excellent deal after the S/H hit the price.) It's larger than our previous ones, at least that I can recall, and has several shelves in it, including one for "smoking" the food. This will be very handy. She did a great job interpreting the instructions and putting it together. I had to help with the wheel covers, which required three prongs to go through three holes, only one of the prongs wasn't lined up perfectly. It might not have been a flaw, but a design feature, and once I could visualize it we got them in. I had to strap on the head lamp, lie on my back, line up the first two, and then use the screwdriver to line up the third one -- she extracted the screwdriver and it was in.
At animal feeding time we realized that we needed to get more dog food, so I ran out and shopped quickly at the petsmart. I would have been back sooner if the road hadn't had a water main break, bringing three lanes down to one. If people can work together nicely, we all get through at a reasonable rate. ::rolls eyes:: Yeah.
OK, off to dine on gyro pizza and greek salad, with a side order of Pippi Longstocking
