- I got irate with Irish Woman and ‘forced’ her to go out to dinner with a family friend. You would have thought I was telling her to clean the bilges on a fishing trawler when I told her she was going out to have some adult time so that both of us could keep our sanity.
- Last night Girlie Bear had a friend sleep over, and everyone in the house was asleep by 10. I guess working all day at the zoo and then swimming for two hours wore them out. It’s so nice to have a quiet evening at home.
- When you get up in the morning and make a big breakfast of whole wheat banana pancakes from scratch, you become the cool dad very quickly.
- What do you get when you mix a broken leather recliner, some scrap lumber, the feet off an old couch, and a cheap Norwegian? You get a new comfy chair for the living room and a happy place to sit and drink beer.
- I’m glad that storm passed to the north of us, but we definitely could have used the rain. I’m not looking forward to the water bill we’re going to get after watering the vegetable gardens every night for a month.
- Apparently I’m making pickles tomorrow. All that water mixed with all that sunshine is making our garden very fruitful, and the cucumbers are the first to deliver.
- Some would look at a broken water main knocking out water to the house in the middle of a heat wave as a bad thing. I look at it as an excuse to rotate our stored water.
- I think I’m going to have to try my hand at coyote hunting, assuming I can get permission from the gentleman who owns the woods behind our house. Irish Woman saw a big one the other day that wasn’t afraid of her, and we just heard a big group of them either fighting or taking down something big in the woods.

/ July 1, 2012It’s a shame to have to shoot the coyotes; they keep the lesser varmints from taking over. If they’re not afraid of humans though, that can become a problem pretty quick.

/ July 1, 2012Suz, there have been a coule of incident in Louisville of coyotes killing dogs, even when they’re on the leash and the humans are a few feet away. Yeah, they’re losing their fear. The one Irish Woman saw was probably a cross-breed with a domesticated dog from the way she described it. It was bigger and huskier than the normal coyote, but had the coloring and bushy tail.

/ July 1, 2012I saw a big one like that a few years ago. I swear it was a coyote, but it was HUGE. Coydog never occurred to me.

/ July 1, 2012It could be a coydog or some kind weirdo Kentucy steriod using coyote. For laughs try to convince your wife you’ll cook and eat it. I did it to my mom it was all kinds of funny.

/ July 1, 2012I don’t think the storms would have done you a whole lot of good. Herei n the Dayton area we goa a whole lot of wind but hardly any rain to speak of. Power was off for a good 21 hours, though.

/ July 1, 2012Hope Irish Woman managed to enjoy herself anyway!
Sorry I didn’t have the spare time off work for us to stop in and see you guys – glad to hear you had a good weekend of kid wrangling, and a new recliner!
As well as pickles, you could do tsatziki, and some nice cool salads to eat without heating the kitchen too much 🙂
