Yesterday was log-splitting day. Joe has a side gig selling firewood, so he occasionally buys a log truck. He has the equipment to handle logs, but occasionally recruits some helpers.

Sparky-cam version 1 works, but not well. Sparky doesn’t mind wearing the camera, and the image is decent unless he’s running. His head blocks the camera and the mount isn’t adjustable.
The backyard ice field is a death trap. Going down on ice seems to happen extra fast. My first fall shook me up. After that, I was super cautious. I have fallen a few more times, but since I went down from a sporting stance, there have been no injuries yet. I can’t live like this.
Morning dog and I were very comfortable, when the sun had risen high enough to interfere with my bliss. Morning dog had already been out to pee and come in to investigate the snack pit, so neither of us wanted to get off the couch.
I could endure the morning sun shining in my eyes, when it occurred to me that with my phone, I could command my robot window shades.
It breaks my heart to see the look of disappointment on Sparky’s face. None of the boots stayed on, but he had unrealistic expectations.
When it’s this cold, Sparky’s feet get cold, but he doesn’t want to look like a French whore or poodle. He asked me to come up with an innovative solution. Sparky thought I was kidding about having him wear my ankle socks.
Everything is a trade off.
Sparky likes car rides, but is having a problem with stairs. I like Sparky, but have a problem cutting his nails in the house. We usually trim his claws on the deck, but that’s covered with snow.
On Sunday, President Biden repealed the Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision. Since I will start getting a windfall, being frugal is pointless.
Tramping around in the snow with Sparky, I get wet boots. Two weeks ago, I knocked up a drying rack for my boots using shelf brackets, scrap wood and my CPAP machine. It folds up for easy storage.
Now that the SSFA is passed and frivolous spending is encouraged, I spent $45 on Amazon to get a boot dryer like regular people use.
I am eager to try it out.
