Tomorrow I leave for Lincoln, Nebraska.\u00a0 Sollie will head back to Denver with Jon.\u00a0 Our goal here is to calm the dog situation down by getting rid of the extra dog and getting to work integrating Gertie into our pack.\u00a0 She has a Jekyll and Dog personality; sweet and friendly, cuddly 90% of the time and all gnarly teeth and dog for 10%.\u00a0 Trouble is, we can’t predict the 10%.\u00a0 Outside humans seem to raise her hackles, at least sometimes, but there’s something between her and the other dog’s, too.\u00a0 Our hope is that Sollie’s presence, a male among females, may have tipped the balance toward aggression in the doggy world for Gertie and that with him gone, she’ll calm down.\u00a0 That may be wishful thinking.<\/p>\n
Mark finished a first course of granite blocks for our firepit. Now I have to find a steel fire ring.\u00a0 It’ll be nice to have a place for a fire just in time for summer.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Kidding.\u00a0 It’s nice to have it done and ready for fall.\u00a0 Mark’s helped out a lot.\u00a0 I’ve found it much easier to do my work here if I don’t have to do the heavy work on both ends of a project.\u00a0 (This will be the Agni fire pit by Mark Ellis.)<\/p>\n
I’m awake.\u00a0 In addition to getting up at 10:40 I also had a 2 hour nap.\u00a0 Staying out late is possible for me, but I have to have time to recover.<\/p>\n
Watched the NBA finals with Mark tonight.\u00a0 Two Hoosier boys watching the big guys play ball.\u00a0 We didn’t have the sound on.\u00a0 Basketball is the one sport I know well enough to watch without commentary.\u00a0 I decided, early on, that I wanted to see Miami win, so tonight’s decision pleased me.\u00a0 It was a game right down to the final 4.0 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
