Sparky is an outside dog. He doesn’t care how cold it is, as long as he’s got somebody to talk to, it’s not raining and it’s not too cold.

If this was your high school guidance counselor, you’d have gotten your shit together much sooner.

At our morning fellowship, Sparky wanted to see if he could sit up like a prairie dog longer than I could suck in my belly. Neither of us did very well.

I try not to wallow in filth, but my furnace filter is disgusting.
Here is the old filter next to a new filter.

This is how far I got with the aux driveway yesterday. I will finish this section and the pad next to the garage if we get another couple of warm days.
I told Sparky to stay off of the new sealer. There may be blobs or extra thick spots that aren’t completely dry yet. Sparky got a little salty.

Sparky is still worn out from yesterday and is sleeping in.

I don’t like to work anymore.
Today might be the last day warm enough to seal the aux. driveway, so I did. To apply Drive Maxx 700, it should be over 60o, and above 50o for 36 hours with no rain.
Reviews say that it looks great when it’s dry. It does. That’s what pisses me off.

Sparky got a car ride as I hitched up the camper, and moved it back 30 feet off of the aux. driveway. It was barely a car ride, but Sparky didn’t seem to know the difference. After that, Sparky got to spend the day outside as I edged and scrubbed the driveway.
A week ago, it looked like I’d be able to seal the driveway, before the weather turned too cold. I need two warm days, but it may be too late in the year.

We are watching the trailer for the Brad Pitt movie, Heart of the Beast. Sparky thinks we should go see it because he is a hero, like the dog in the movie.
How are you a hero?

I’m not good at sleeping in, so early this morning, I moved out to the couch. Sparky came over to stand guard.
I thanked him for his service.
Sparky is so vigilant. I suggested that maybe the windows and doors would be enough to keep the chipmunks from invading.
