....Coffee is really good, slept in til almost 6 this morn'n....supposedly cooler today, 80's, rain/storms??.. ;D...but we're heading out to watch some grandkids in a bit....#3 son and wife are going on some errands. yada yada...so it'll be a fun morn'n.....maybe we'll go to the park, if we can beat the rain...
now i need more coffee...MMMmmmm
Just got back from my 3 mile morning walk and it was already starting to get pretty sticky out there. supposed to be one of those HHH days.
Coffee is good this morning and now that I am back I can finish off the pot. I often wonder why when I fill my coffee pot to 8 cups before brewing I only get three real cups out the back end. lol ??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I guess my coffee cups are too big or the coffee maker's cup measurements are too small. lol ;D ;D ;D

What a great day today! not only did I have a full day of dogs, the Carpenters got the ceiling almost completely put back up, they pressure washed it, too! When the first guy installed it He set it out in the rain to get all nasty before he put it up, then put it up with his filthy fingerprints all over it. I had to get on the ladder and clean it with cleaner and a sponge as best I could. I couldn't reach the places that were over the tanks so it wan't really clean. Now it sparkles. My fluorescent fixtures are back in. My Exhaust fan is installed and working. It will be trimmed out tomorrow. The boss man brought the big thing that you bend tin with and made a lovely cover for my air pump to protect it from the rain. I may leave it outside forever or I may bring it back inside during the winter months. Nothing is glued, just stuck together so moving it will be easy.
They even did a little weed eating to cut a nice path from the fish room to the gate and trimmed back some branches on my holly tree so they wouldn't have to duck. They had to take down my big water storage container that sits on top of my other big water storage container to get to installing the last of the insulation and ceiling. They said that they can fix the leak in the valve that has existed since it was first put in. I never again will run out of water when I do a huge WC, and they've saved me from having to hire a plumber. They may finish up tomorrow but they also may have a few bits and pieces that will take part of another day. I'm so happy to have found a guy who takes pride in his work and does things right. Tomorrow is pay day for him and his helpers. I think I'll have enough left for a carport but I'll find know when I get home tomorrow.
