Long storage project

This is the vexatious project that took three times longer than it should have.

My bed platform has a tunnel down the center.  There is an IKEA chest of drawers under each side of the platform, and the bed is wider than both of them.  I did use that space for storage, but long things tend to be narrow, so there was a lot of wasted space.

Election Day

Spam season is ending, but we have to get through election day.  Social media and corporate media will be jammed up with fraught political commentary.  Consider today to be a day of contemplation.  Unplug.  Rake your leaves.  Wash your beagle.

Sparky smashes a bully.

I’ve been vexed by a project that’s taken three times longer than it should have, so I haven’t posted for a couple of days. 

Sparky hasn’t been getting as much attention as he should.  He can work around that by taking more naps, but he is concerned that the last couple of posts make him sound like a feeble dotard.

Sparky wanted me to set the record straight by getting video of him tearing up this bully stick like a puppy half his age.

I thought about adding music or wisecracks to the video, but sometimes it’s enough to see Sparky use his little paws like people hands.

Sparky gets comfortable.

Sparky has two crates, two additional beds, a ball pit and his own couch.   He figured the best move was to spend the night on my couch on the clean laundry that I didn’t get around to folding last night.

I don’t mind.  Not even a little bit.  Sparky isn’t a young fella anymore, so we make allowances.

When Sparky finally gets out of bed, do I put away my laundry or throw it back in the washing machine?

I don’t want to be a filthy beast man or dog boy, so I suppose I will do a load of laundry.
