Trash day always a bit of a fright as the truck rolls by around 6:45 like it might want to snatch your can but doesn't until maybe 11 or 1 or 9. Like the guy said when asked a while ago, "We just don't know when, where or how much". It's just garbage. S went off for an allergy assessment in Everett as well as a booster and a thorough vacuuming of the Subaru with a short foray into Costco, but not to wrangle my Rapaflo pee amplifier, rather for cheese. For my part I poured 4 gallons of hot water and detergent down into the black and gray water tanks, drained the fresh water and sloshed my way over to Les Schwab to have them check the crack in the front right aluminum wheel. Other than to say that if it failed I was fucked the guy there couldn't help. Texted up B and went for a walk for the update on the bike tour which was challenging and was he glad to be home. He feels he may well ...
Based on philosophy of yolo we picked up this little cutie in Bellevue from a Zoom doctor midnight cow Monday July 26th Dean, Dusty and I went a walking from the Commons to the now famous missing bulkhead at the old Primavera homestead west of Langley. Not sure that was what Dean had in mind as he mentioned several times that he was not a walker due to worn knees but in my obsession with west beach langley and dog joy there I heard him not.

Later again D and I hit the big Maple and the rough and secret trail between 6th and 3rd....
puberty? D has become quite sullen and uncooperative, so we, worried parents, looked up teenage dog behavior on the intertube and found this: Any parent of teenagers will tell you that raising kids during their adolescent phase is a trying task, what with the know-it-all attitude, the uncanny ability to ignore anything that resembles a request, and the sudden urge to be anywhere but with family. But even if you’ve never raised a human, you may have encountered these traits—in the canine members of your household. If your dog is suddenly ignoring the “sit” or “come” commands they mastered in puppyhood, you’re not alone. New research (the part about insecure attachment is not relevant to D) from a team of UK universities has shown that dogs do go through a rebellious adolescent phase, and they can be just as obstinate as human teens as they navigate fluctuating hormones and push for a bit of independen...
