The Whale's Rib and Rocket Ships

I got a call from the kids with an invitation to bring my hounds to make a fivesome for puppy play day. Marcia and Bob have a sick parent so Jason and Lori are looking in on Maximus and Lucy. I have been missing the kids, Juneau and (the washer and dryer) so I cancelled a dinner invitation and went south. Maximus is huge. Even Honey was a little intimidated but he is a sweet boy and Lucy is a love. The dogs had a great time and we did too-watching them. We went out to dinner at the Whale's Rib. Great food but the service was lousy tonight.

One of the things I respect about Honey is her independence/self sufficiency. If the water bowl is empty she brings it. Tonight she taught Juneau how to skip the intermediary and go directly to the dog-food bin. Since he taught her to bark, I regard it as payback.

These pictures from Jason's iPhone. Pretty good camera on it- Saw pictures of last night's black tie Charity Ball and last week's Motley Crue concert at the Hard Rock Casino. Those tickets were a birthday present from Lori.

He snapped one of today's shuttle launch. We were on Deerfield Beach when it went up. Saw the vapor trail and the flash from the second stage separating and a mysterious cloud of something. My camera was in my van-I went there just before we left and I left it there! darn darn darn.

I made my second trip to Harbor Freight today. Sidewalk Sale! It is Macy's for men. What a busy place. Got some really cool stuff, only about one-third of it pre-planned.

We have been home an hour and the air conditioning is finally pushing the day's accumulated heat from the coach.
