I'm nailed to the house tonight since one of my dogs tried to interrogate a scorpion. The vet says he'll be fine by morning, but he's flat miserable now. Luckily he's about 110 pounds and it was one of those big brown suckers with mild venom.

I spent all day under the freakin' house. The ducts for our swamp cooler were only duct-taped together and after 10 years the duct tape let go and the flex duct deteriorated. Had to replace some of it and secure it with steel clamps. The intruder chase was a welcome diversion. I was probably dirtier than he was. Maybe that's why he didn't look too dirty to me.

Hope the dog gets better.

Sounds like my 4th of July weekend. Had to rebuild the cooler itself.
