July 26, 2012 and four nights at Loon Lake…the most this summer. It was hot, hot, hot, and of course humid until day 4. Swimming provided a cool relief. Between our dock and the neighbor's dock is 37 paces and so each day I swam between the docks…using every stroke I know and worked up to 12 laps….which by my math is about a ¼ of a mile. Of course I also did some floating, too.
The lake is down, earlier this summer when I jumped off the end of the dock it was over my head. Now I can stand with head and shoulders above water….which made last night’s ½ inch of rain very welcome.
Our neighbor here was in Hinton last night and called about hail warnings of which we were oblivious ….and offered a place to put the pickup! Good neighbors are a gift! Fortunately no hail here.
Mike has had “the fever” for a car project. He bought the present pickup two years ago (when I went to Tanzania with a group) and has given it the Last detailing and also some not so detail…such as a seat reupholstered, and the rust repaired… I’m going again in September and he’s decided to trade the pickup for a suburban to detail. What conclusion can be drawn from this?
Friend Ray figured out how to fix the wire that connects the mini solar panel to the pump for the garden fountain. Apparently a critter had chewed through the wire in a couple of places.
We took a boat ride Monday and of course Sneakers had to be on the bow with ears flapping. Except this time she either leapt in or fell! So around we came and he was dog paddling for shore. It took both Mike and I to get him back in the boat. He still likes the bow!
