Icky. I just came in from hauling out 2 loads to the trash cans. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen my breath when it’s warm! I guess because it’s so fucking humid? Weird.

It was probably fog I saw, not my breath. The sun wasn’t up yet, so my headlamp made it look like my breath.
The next couple days are supposed to be magnificent!

Yesterday was magnificent and today is not so much. I am soaked to the bone with sweat and I'm about half done with the yard. Dodging the sunlight as much as possible but probably burned already since I'm the same color as Casper the ghost. I usually can't finish everything in one day but the royalweilers are coming tomorrow for the weekend and it makes shoveling the royal shit easier when the grass is cut.

They pulled up right at 0900. I have the Duke Of Poop and the Earl of Slobbingham, and one sweet ass monster truck to drive this weekend. The people at the pizza place one mile from here will be super impressed later this evening. I be rollin. They be hatin.
It's a good thing the boys are happy with just playing fetch with the ball for a few minutes here and there because that's about all I have the energy for today. Yesterday was really rough on old Dave's Not Here Man and his broken ass body.

Dog park is on tap today for Dresi. If he sticks to his MO for former visits, this will consist of a car ride (yay for 5 minutes!) followed by a short walk (yay for new places to pee!) then one dog sniff and a snooze. This animal does not deserve a dog park.
Mind you if we went into the yard and took off his leash, he'd joyfully run the neighborhood for a minimum of one hour without issues. He's an idiot.
Oh and yesterday we went to an estate sale to get a fridge. Left the dogs for an hour. Dresden tried to eat a can of unopened beans. That dog has some serious issues.

I can take them out to play and do they binness, and have no issues. Rocco did go to the next door neighbor for the kissing of the ring but it's only 10 feet between driveways. He DID NOT listen when I called him back which irked me because they were taught better. Buck is as obedient as Rocco used to be. But all in all you would have never guessed that they were only visiting.

Rocco sounds like the The Little Prince. He too was trained better, but seems to have developed a weird hearing loss where he no longer can understand when he doesn't feel it's in his best interests too. Weird, huh?

It’s not that cool here yet - 69 degrees. I’ll wait. I can no longer tolerate open windows (I used to hate not being able to open windows when I was a kid because of my mother’s allergies). Plus, living on 218, there’s a lot of traffic. I’m used to the semi noise, having lived on Route 3 for a few years. It’s the fucking motorcycles. They come through in huge flocks (I don’t want to say gangs, because that has a bad vibe), music blaring, engines revving. And since I sleep during the day, there’s a lot more traffic. So, between allergies and noise, windows stay closed.

I used to love sleeping with windows open, but as an adult developed allergies, so if I do it now, I can't breathe when I get up in the morning Totally sucks. Don't get me started on loud pipes not saving lives. Or blaring music on your ride. I was able to ride for many years without loud pipes or blaring music (although I did really want an intercom system - back then they really sucked and were too expensive). It was fun and I was able to pay more attention to what was around me.

The hoodie made its debut this evening. It’s only 64 degrees in here, but it’s damp. And I am always a bit chilled when I come downstairs, until I get my metabolism chugging away. I’ve been donning a blanket to wrap up in almost every day this week.
As I headed upstairs this morning, I briefly worried about the pine tree falling on the fence, then decided it wasn’t a big deal. Why should I care if the tree falls? I no longer have a need for the fence. Well, maybe it’s keeping the coyotes from my door, but other than that? And then I saw those fucking GFL bins, still sitting by the road. I hoped the wind grabbed them both and took them miles away.

I fired up the gas fireplace last night. It took me a few minutes but yeah, I fired up the gas fireplace last night... There was no literature left by the previous owner and I have always had wood fireplaces and inserts so I'm going to be needn to edumacate myself on this thing somehow. Anyway, the fan finally came on and lordy lordy lincoln fordy it went from 68 to 78 in here in like 30 minutes. Note this is a big space I'm talking about, with this open floor plan. So that was impressive especially given my learning curve for that damn thing, and the pact I will be dealing with the gas furnace next, which is under the fuggn house.
Turned off the fireplace at about 9 last night and it was still 70 in here this morning. So I'm pleased that I don't hate the gas fireplace as much as I thought I "wood'.

I saw what you did there.... We have a fireplace with a wood insert. After having my youngest, I developed a bunch of allergies, one of which is to smoke. So one of the biggest selling points of this house went to one of it's biggest detriments Was going to do a gas insert, until I saw the prices.

Loved my fireplace. I loved my wood stove insert in the rental I had in downtown King George, too, but I nearburnned the house down one no with it. But now, the fireplace is blocked by 2 giant dog crates, plus a broken down oak slab that was once my coffee table (90 lb sheepies standing on it did it in. My dad could have fixed it. 😣) Plus the gas company disconnected the gas because they need to move the tank and I refused to allow them entry. I could have used it in January during that long dark birthday week.

I am reluctantly accepting that I need to pull out the box from under the bed and unpack sweatshirts and long sleeves, then repack shorts and capris so I can have sweats in the dresser. It's not the cold, it's the work

The AC is still on but not running. Just the ceiling fan. I love snuggling under a warm blanket.

Much as I love snuggling under a warm blanket, I want warm toes when I have to put my feets on the floor too!
SIL had a screened in porch on her old house that they enclosed. Part of that was laying a heated ceramic floor. Learned two things. 1) Heated floors are damned expensive 2) When it's not YOUR floor, turning that thermostat up and stretching out on a nice cushion is ah-maz-ing!

I always knew #1. Been on a few jobs where they were putting it in. High dollar shit, man. #2 is that line between comfort and reason. I can see doing heated floors in a full bathroom, on demand. They are finding out that the tankless water heaters aren't all they were hyped up to be so this too might land in that fishnet.
