Another long vball weekend, puppy problem, frog disaster

Tomorrow at this time I will be up in PA again! My friends up there are doing a casual cook out thing which should be a great time. Sunday we play, Rich and I are teamed up with 2 of our female friends. They are both good players so it will be a lot of fun going up against all men teams and giving them a run for their money. The forecast may be a little wet but nothing terrible.

My homemade plane project is progressing along nicely. I hope to have it in the air within a week. It isn’t very pretty but I think it will at least fly.

I have to admit I am watching ONE reality show with regularity right now, Paradise Hotel. Yea it is plenty dumb but it gives me some good chuckles. I was happy to see Zack, otherwise known as Mr I am Smarter, Better Looking, Better Built and Harder Bodied than all of you, get the boot. It took balls for Keith to send him packing, the fireworks were great and the aftermath will continue for awhile.

The puppy got into trouble the other night. She was back in the bedroom like she normally is and was laying in the bathroom. We saw her get up and start acting like she was digging. Since she was on the vinyl in there we thought no big deal and pretty much ignored it. Well a few minutes later I see her chewing on something. The little sh&thead dug a hole in the vinyl floor! After a harsh scolding she was thrown out of the bathroom. We covered the hole with a bathrug for now. I caught her trying to start up again last night and immediately screamed at her. I hope this isn’t a continuing habit. It could necessitate our moving to ceramic tile sooner than we planned.

I love animals. I am very compassionate towards animals. If I catch a spider in the house I trap it in a little device I have and throw it outside. When I find a snake, I relocate it instead of chopping it in two with a shovel like many do. Last night I opened the garage door to pull the car in. I noticed a toad sitting in front of the garage door. This happens all the time as the spotlight draws them in to try to catch bugs. Like I always do, I gently shooed it with my foot. Instead of hopping off to the side it hopped under the car. Great. So I pulled the car backwards so I could see where he went. Evidently he went right BEHIND A TIRE! It made me sick, I squashed the poor guy. Felt like a heel as scraped him up. I tried to do the right thing, really. Really made me sad.

Won’t be back until Wednesday.
