August 4, 2014
We are having a heat wave and I'm loving it. There is no better excuse to do nothing, than thirty-five degrees.
Well not exactly nothing. I made a pot of coffee. That's something. My alarm goes off at 8 am. I was lying there awake waiting for it. I could have just turned it off but last time I did that, it took me two days to get it working again. I grab the dogs and let Lisa sleep. Her call time tomorrow is 2 am!
I seem to have a lot of energy these days. Even before the coffee! I sweep the floors while the coffee is brewing. Then I wash the dishes left from last night. I mean, I put them in the dishwasher. There's five seconds of my life I will never get back! When the coffee is ready I pour a cup and watch the local news. I have a couple of hard boiled eggs and change into my workout gear. One more cup of Joe and the phone started ringing. Steve, Momma Lee, twice, and our friend Alida from the Island, who was sitting in our back driveway.
She was in the hospital in Nanaimo last week and now she's out gallivanting around Vancouver! After another cup of Java and a quick visit with Alida, I started my workout.
I am up to fifty reps each set on the Four Stair Stretch, One hundred One Stair Steps and one hundred and twenty Belly Crunches.
You must be tired of reading about my workout day by day. For the next while I'll just give you totals.
The Iron Maiden was particularly hard on my fat ass today. It was the final episode of season two. Ninety minutes long. I was a little disappointed with the way they wrapped some of the story lines up. Also the story is getting a little far fetched for me. Still, I'll watch season three.
Standing naked in the bathroom fresh out of the shower, Lisa made me an offer I couldn't refuse. " Let's go to Buntzen Lake"
We packed the cooler, grabbed Elvis and Nutmeg and we were on our way. The sign said full and the road was blocked. I have a a handicap sign that I use when I have Momma Lee and her wheelchair with me. I flashed the sign and she moved the barricade. We were in! I didn't park in a Handi spot. I didn't need to. There were dozens of parking spots available. We parked close to the Dog beach trail in the shade. It's about a kilometre from the parking lot to the dog beach. I had two chairs, my backpack, a cooler and Elvis. Who decided that this was the perfect place to drop a dog bomb! I picked it up and added it to my load. Lisa had the dog blanket, her beach bag and Nutmeg. She had a bag of food for a while but soon I was carrying that and she had both dogs. The stuff was getting heavy. Lisa let the dogs off the leash. I staggered under the weight of all our possessions to our final destination. We had a great spot in the shade, right on the water.
Lisa had brought some Sushi and a cheese plate. We ate our lunch beside the lake, the Aspen leaves whispering in the breeze. Then we dunked the dogs!
They both swim very well. Elvis has three inch long, skinny poodle legs. Not really a water dog. It was thirty-five degrees. They needed to cool down.
We brought our masks and snorkel's with us just to have a look around. Lisa had her flippers too. She also had the camera. That's too bad because she looks really cute in her hot pink mask and fins! I am more Manatee like. I broke my fins in Hawaii...wah.
I saw trout of a fair size and a few catfish. The thing I saw the most, was nice clean bottom. I mean, no trash. No bottles or cans, wrappers, nothing! I sat and read my book for a while when Lisa was off snorkeling. Elvis was being a jerk to all the other dogs. So he was on lockdown. He doesn't know he's only five pounds. He's thirteen now and a cranky old man. He goes after every dog that comes close. "Hey you kids, get off my lawn"
We splashed and baked and enjoyed the peace and quiet until 5 pm. I packed up the two chairs, my backpack,the cooler and the garbage. Lisa got the dog blanket and her beach bag. Carrying the extra weight is probably good for me! We went home and I had Lisa pose for a photo on our front walkway.
Momma Lee called. She was Jonesing for a McFlurry. Oreo McFlurry. I did a quick shop at Stupor Store and called it a day. It was a very relaxing day at that. Tomorrow at 8 am, Papa Squatch Dayscare!
That's all I got.
Till next time
Peace Out Y'all
