Heat

 Well, we're supposed to ramp up temps end of week.

Great, eh?  Especially since there will be idiots out there shooting off fireworks.

Today it will still be in the high 70's.

The little black manx kitten went to some friends of mine Sunday.  But Monday, she had diarrhea.

She tested negative for everything, at least, so its likely stress and diet change.

Worry time, for me.  I'd imagined all the kittens, turns out there are four, would be quickly caught and then we'd catch mom and she'd take care of them for a couple weeks as they weaned.   Not the case.   The tenants trapping did catch one more, who, after a day or two of hard stools, also got diarrhea.  She's still with them.  

I finally decided to go to the lake so I wouldn't worry.   I was tired though.  I forgot the clip in kayak seat.  Oh well, turns out my kayak might be more comfortable without a seat.

I paddled maybe a mile in all.   I didn't swim.  Just tired out.  I just relaxed and even took a nap in my kayak.   How does that happen?   Well, get old, do too much, worry some, then go to the lake with your kayak and you'll find out just how easy that is.

There was one very reckless motor boater out.   He had passengers.  He'd roar to full speed then suddenly throw the boat into a high speed tight U turn.  Each time, the boat would nearly capsize from one side going under water.   His passengers would be thrown about.   What an idiot.  He did this over and over and over, until I took a short video of the boat to give the deputies so when he did capsize,  they could know what they were looking for, underwater.

The lake was nice and not an excessive number of motor boats out.   Mondays are the least busy day to go.

I bought some dry kitten food, for the tenants with the 2nd kitten and took it to them, in Sweet Home, before I came home.   I stopped in at a friends in Lebanon on the way home, too, who had her truck detailed yesterday, to see how it looked and wow, they did a good job.   She was headed off to the car wash with it.

The kayak is still in the car so I might go back up today, since it may be too hot to go for a few days after that, and probably busy since the 4th is Thursday.  I like to be home on the 4th in case the idiots (the usual suspects) start something on fire with their fireworks.  Also, my cats like to see me all normal when it sounds like a war zone outside.  Keeps them calmer about it.

I'll probably go with the neighbor to the breakfast in the park that benefits veterans I think it is.  We go every year.   It goes on four days.

I emptied the kiddie pool a week or more ago and maybe I'll fill it again this evening.  I cleaned the algae out.   Don't worry--that water didn't go to waste.  I siphoned it onto my yard bushes.

Nothing new here.
