Good morning. Not bad. Jake turned up to purr and claw. He needs his claws trimmed.
It’s overcast this morning, but we’ll see how the day goes. We might go to the zoo later this week, depending on weathers.
We have a campout scheduled for early August: don’t know who will be going on it, as all the young men will be looking for jobs! Also day camp in June and Webelos camp in July.
I hope the weathers behave themselves so you can go.
I can’t remember the last time I went to the zoo. In the ‘80s I think — the Salt Lake Zoo. They had a new baby giraffe. It was still at the “look-but-don’t-touch” stage.
Hopefully, the upcoming campouts will be more fun for everyone.
Boy, is my brain ever not with it today!

Good morning. Happy Humph Day!
It’s nice to have the real kittehs back.
Things are still quiet and cool here. We’re trying a new food with the Princess in the hopes that will help with the seizures. The food claims to bring out your dog’s inner wolf, which we do NOT need, but I guess we’ll figure it out.
Day camp will be what it is. The most important part is drinking plenty of water and keeping one’s feet dry. That reminds me, I need to work on re-waterproofing my hiking boots or getting new ones. I can’t remember how long I’ve had my current pair ... 4 or 5 years?
For tenting events, we’ve got to figure out a way to keep water from getting under the tents. It must be possible! In the Old Days of Boy Scouts, you could dig a trench around the tent to keep water from flowing under, but one isn’t aloud to dig any more.
With a 3 yesterday and a 5 today, I guess I’m averaging a 4.

Good morning. I hope the doggie takes to the new food without too much wolf.
Good morning.
Hopefully, between the milk thistle and the new food, her seizures will stop or at least be less frequent.
She must be scared each time they happen to her. Bless her little doggie heart.
There doesn’t seem to be an “average” for me. My puzzle solving skills are better than they were at the onset of CFIDS but still a far cry from what they were before the onset. Still, I have to keep trying to outwit the disease. So I’ll own the shame on the days I get the X. ;o]
Good Morning!
We had some overnight rain, finally... will have to see how much later...
As far as Wordle goes, all that I can say is: “Good grief...”

Good morning. It is gloomy here today, but not raining. The young mockingbirds are eating bugs in the grass and ignoring Shannon.
Good Morning! It is too bad that the camping trip got cut short because of the rain... what kind of camp ground doesn’t allow one to dig a ditch around the tent?
(Hope that Shannon doesn’t get a complex from being ignored... 😂)
All of them, basically. State Parks, Federal land, etc., have fixed tent pads. They probably had good drainage when they were designed decades ago ...
I didn’t do much better on the Icelandic one. Both were a struggle.
Good morning! Yes, the overnight rain was nice.
Sorry the camping trip got cut short, TC. Will there be another attempt in the near future?
This one was a little tough…

I don’t think I was in Hurricane when you got hiking boots the last time. That would have put it at least four years ago.
That’s a real poser about keeping the water from under the tents. Straw?
Too tough for me! LOL!
Even the Icelandic one was tough. Must be the weather!
Part of the issue is that the tents aren’t designed for major, multi-day downpours.
Ah. Of course. Cost-cutting by the manufacturers again.
There will be more and more multi-day downpours in the future, I suspect.
