The weather is just fabulous right now- windy and hot, but not too hot. Bb's allergies are acting up a little bit from the dust, but otherwise it is perfect.
The only downside is that the surf is horrible. A few miles south they tell us it is head-high, here we are lucky to see it past 2ft. Lousy. But the dusty skies make for pretty sunsets, so at least we've got that going for us. Which is nice.
Ever wondered what the inside of the steering column of a landcruiser looks like with the ignition cylinder removed? Yeah, well, just in case, here is a picture. Whoo-boy. Exciting stuff, no? Steve doesn't think so either, but since he spent an hour looking at ignition lock cylinders today trying to fix one, he thought he would go ahead and share it, juuuuust in case someone else gives a darn. And if you liked that picture, you'll enjoy this one too. That's a steering column with ignition cylinder on a diesel cruiser. Boy, the fun never stops around here.
Unless you are Caly. She's not having much fun. We pushed off getting her spayed just a tad too long and now she is in heat. Which, for those of you who have never had a dog in heat, is really really not fun. Not for her, not for us. We can't take her out for walks or beach time without having at least a couple of dogs following along. So far they've kept their distance with some persuasion from Steve (by "persuasion" we really mean chucking sticks and rocks at them to keep them at bay. Haven't had to actually beat up on one yet... but close) Being "mean" to strange dogs stinks. Having them put the moves on Caly is even worse. In the end, we just can't let her romp and play outside like normal.
So that's life right now. Still planning to backfill for our trip to the states, but not tonight.
