Who let the dogs out?
I did! John and Savannah were in Cinci for the day so I got to let out Pebbles and May. They like me well enough now that they were happy to see me, went out on queue, and then settled back down for some pets. They were convinced that if I was there, J&S must be arriving any second haha.
My “helpers” and usual contributions…
Zoe loved jumping in the pond while I worked. Chloe abstained knowing she’s just a boat anchor. She did enjoy the shade of the cattails though. At one point, Zoe took off running when Chloe was laying down and it caused Chloe to log roll a couple times before she jumped up and ran along. Hahaha. I was wet and dirty by the time I was done for the day…!
Tree work at the pond
We had a big tree fall across the pond path a while back. I got out some tools, chains, and vehicles and went to work… Lower left is the before. Lower right is after working for several hours in the 93º heat to cut through the fallen tree and all the shrubbery and ones it took out on the way down.

Good thing we know a guy…
I was threatening to adjust our water pressure (pressure relief valve) myself. The boy decided he better swing by before I broke something… Good plan❣️ He fixed us right up! We have much better flow now. In the process, he noticed our tub drain was leaking so he fixed that while he was at it. We’re good until the next thing crops up! For now, Andy’s our hero again.
WAS! Now it is “just add water”…
I forgot I had these pouches that came with a med kit way back when. It’s supposed to contain 4 oz of water. They’re long past there best by date and the water either evaporated or leaked out. However, the bag is still mostly air tight and still contained a little pillow of air. Julie said it was “just add water” now hahahaha.
Pretty storm clouds reflecting the sunset
While us RC guys were hanging out, we saw these cool reflections in the quarry pond while the sun was setting in the west and lighting up these eastern thunder clouds.

Then I headed out to RC fun with the Strong men
Chris organized a get together at the quarry for us. We brought our scale rigs and enjoyed climbing the rocks and falling down them too.
The call came in…
Andy was wanting to hand a piece of plywood on the wall behind his cab in his truck, but it was definitely a two person job. So, he rang me up and I appeared. We figure out what we needed then headed to the lumber yard. It was fun to ride around in his big box :) Lower left shows the finished project. It didn’t even take us two hours. Not a bad activity to do in the sun on a 93º day hahahaha.
A fun little nod to the original moon watch
I like the moon on the back, the crators in the strap, etc. It’s pretty nice looking for just a cheap “plastic” watch. I paired with with a quick fit band and enjoy reliving my swatch junior high days too, hahaha.
Joyride with my mom
I had some time after my Jabez week last week and felt like enjoying the pretty weather. Mom had wanted a ride too, so I picked her up. We toured some of the backroads of Xenia and Waynesville included a stop to see my dad’s grave. It’s crazy that those rocks the boys and placed the over a decade ago are still there. It is a pretty setting. We enjoyed the willow tree and creek until the mosquitos found us🤪
