thanks for your "be careful" concern. I was cautious. The roof is very crumbly & soft (like step thru soft) in spots.

I managed to NOT fall off nor hit my thumb or fingers with hammer (as I did yesterday).. I am very sore /tired from dozens of trips up & down ladder hauling the roofing material.'

I completely covered one area that had leaks thru to house (no kidding.. rain & drips) & a couple others where bad tiling damage. The estimate we had was about 14K.. it might as well be 14M.. so I did my best effort to keep head above water. Did also mow, some weeding & trimming back of the perennials. I love yard work year round.

Eleanor.. that cake you posted looked wonderful. Pumpkin cake!

well, going to check my pings, email, the Dose & get mom some dinner.

Josy cut her front upper tow pad on our outing late this afternoon. Her first. Have had many with the other dogs. Lots of blood & they lick continually. Where it is cut will not interfere with her outings fortunately as she NEEDS to run off all that young dog energy.

My back is VERY ROUGH.. the normal bad back magnified by dozens of trips with roofing material up the ladder. Hurts to sit so I might not post much more tonight as I have to also do the thread for tomorrow.. Maybe a hot bath & more Excedrin will help..

later
