Good bloody idea, Sox!

This has been a great summer in MI. I've been enjoying the weather very much. Last year it was nearly impossible for me to be outdoors even for a few minutes.

These last two days have been our worst all season so I take a lot of cool showers and go on the swing shift. If I can get up before dawn and push down a pot of coffee, I have a few good hours to spend outdoors. So, I do it.

Pretty soon a friend and I will make our venture into Lake MI for our annual 4-hour swim. I'm looking forward to that. If the weather is tolerable, I'll be attending my local Civil War Muster, it's one of my favorite summer outings. The blender chicks will be by this weekend for some fun, and of course, I've been playing with tools in the early mornings. I just love doing crummy things to innocent wood.

I'm thankful for my scooters because I can scarcely walk anymore, they can take me all over the place, so I let 'em. Tomorrow at dawn I'll be scooting to the store to procure some produce and parity products.
