New Grandpuppy

Eve was kind enough to send snaps of our new Grandpuppy, Dmitri. I think the bonding is coming along beautifully.

I arrived early for my appointment to have the Dodge Van air conditioning re-re-fixed. I strolled downtown, had breakfast, and came back 1 .5 hours later and it was still sitting. I am starting to feel like they are playing with my head. I'll try again tomorrow. After that, I lawyer up.

I took the Kindle to breakfast at the Trailhead and was reading the Annie Proulx Wyoming stories. It was a surreal experience. I could raise my eyes and see about a half dozen people who could populate her stories. Even more noteworthy, I didn't get any syrup on the Kindle. Ain't I a big boy?

I worked on the "camp chair." I used a hobby fixative and safety pins to put a shiny space blanket on a plush throw- those cheap ones they sell in truck stops and Wal-Mart. Folded in half and used as a mattress pad to stop the air from getting through the mesh on the chair, it gives the sensation of being an electric blanket- heat builds. Pretty cool, er warm. Caused a little doze on this cool fall day.
