I was moving in to assist Maggie in getting down, when she jumped. We were all laughing about having to call the fire department to get a dog out of a tree.

In the 25 years I've been involved in it, I can only remember two animal in distress calls. One was a cat stuck in a tree, and one was a dog that fell in a well. Both were rescued with out incident.

The floor machine ran low on battery power again today. The charger has code SRT when it used to show .0000.
SRT means possible short circuit.
I reckon one of two batteries is kaput.
Hopefully she got hold of the mechanic and he came today. But we'll see in approximately 10.5 hours.

Good morning, peeps. 55 overnight, expected to hit upper 70s today and stay dry; pretty good for the Caps's parade.
Work Fire/EMS had a call for woman on a bridge (I-95 overpass) threatening to jump. When she made a movement to go over, one of the EMS crew and a bystander quickly go to her and pulled her back.

Here I think it's the heat, we've had some more "violent" ones the past couple of weeks. Had a domestic dispute yesterday with shots fired (no injuries thankfully), but doesn't always turn out that way, and the summer is still young. Few years ago a woman emptied a 9 shot clip at her husband and only grazed him a couple of times. SO told her "you could have killed him". She responded "I was trying but he wouldn't stand still long enough". LOL

Howdy Hosers! I think I'm caught up on the coffee house crew.
Gary - looks like it was a fun concert. Miss Maggie is amazing. Our dog is not into heights at all - the couch is about as high as he'll willingly climb.
JC - sorry about your injury. I can sympathize. Threw my back out on Saturday and have been wincing around in pain ever since. Feels ok when I get moving and keep moving but any prolonged sitting or standing still will tighten it right back up.
Our softball team is in the midst of a double elimination tournament. We won the first game and lost the second. We play again tomorrow night in a Win or Go Home scenario. It's been a long season and while I would love to see the girls win out and move on to the next round, I won't be too sorry to get my life back if we lose... Had to speak to some of the player's parents last night about standing too close to our dugout/sidelines and "coaching" their kids (and the others) from the stands. I had a player thrown out stealing third because her dad was screaming "Go" and she listened even though the 3rd base coach was clearing indicating stay put. Every year our league asks for coach volunteers and all of these parents sit on their hands and do nothing. All season I have told the parents that they are welcome to help out at practices and only 1 has stepped up and helped out with the team. Then when we get to a playoff game they all want to be the coach????? Not going to happen.
On the homefront - new roof on the deck is just about complete - they are doing clean up and installing the ceiling fan and other lights today. Then we can get the pool situated and enjoy the nice weather. We're converting our garage into a bed/bath suite and work will be starting on that at the end of next week.
What are everyone's vacation plans this summer? We'll be heading to the beach in Maine for a week in July and we're also going to the White Mtns for a week with extended family in August.

I expect we'll go see my Aunt again.
She and Dad are NOT getting any younger.
It will be a day trip because I can't afford to vacation. On that note...
4.11 hours today and 9.11 for the week so far.
Sold my box of pennies. Going to see if I can get another. Then PO and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home. No breakfast at the deli today because there are hamburger patties at home.

@ Peg: Boy can Gary empathize with you. Gary's blended family of softball, soccer and swimming left no day untouched. For years nearly every weekday and every weekend had something going. Gary cannot tell how grand it is to have an empty nest and a calendar of mostly "our selfish stuff". Good Lord ... there are days which are void of commitments of any kind. This is movie Tuesday's when popcorn is half price and the theater is empty. Midweek we can see a play and not worry about a practice.
As to a vacation ... yesterday, Mary Lou and Gary discussed that subject. Mary Lou does not like the heat, consequently, she doesn't want to go anywhere unless it is along the coast. Even wine country is too hot for her comfort. So we're pretty much staying home this summer.
