Back In The Saddle Again

If I am going to have to be put on a saddle, I would like for it to be this one.  I'm not sure that my 217 pounds would fit properly.  The saddle that I am referencing is the one that I should be riding tomorrow evening at the Texas Road House Restaurant for my birthday.

I arose early this morning---early for me---around 7 a.m.  I shoveled up the "dog poop" in the back yard and put it in one big pile--then kinda scattered some dirt and dust over top of the pile to keep the smell down and the flies away.  Then on to the garden hose with a spray nozzle....I watered all of the trees and bushes.  If they would grow well with "dog pee"--I would not have to do that!  

Later, I gathered up a bunch of gardening equipment (lawn mower, weed eater, etc.) and some other boxes of junk that I never get around to sorting out---hauled it all over to my rental storeroom (about 10 minutes drive).  I re-arranged what what was already in there to make more room (you know, like standing stuff on end instead of laying down flat)...

Other than that, it has been a rather uneventful day.  It is Saturday, so no school and no need to pick up the grandchildren.  Dogs are unhappy (two of them) because they like to ride with me everyday to pick up the kids.  My Toyota pick up has a steel cage on the back (that I used to pack full of aluminum cans to sell) and I bought a $50 heavy duty tarp and tied it down over top to make shade for the dogs.

It also helps to keep anything else dry and out of the sun that I might have need to load in there.

Have a good day, the can man, virgil baker
