Good morning Cape Breton.Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.
I was chewing on my little toy, but got tired. So I just curled up on the love seat and the toy was next to my face. I know exactly where it is so that no one takes it from me.
Yesterday the Big Guy cooked up two packs of ribs. Then he feed both Elaine and Clarke the ribs, along with Tonya and himself.
When they were all done, the piled the ribs on a plate. Just sitting there. Staring at me.
That meant there was about 20 ribs bones. I wasn't allowed to have ANY of them. Not even one. Not a nibble. I could see them. I could smell them. But wasn't allowed to have them.
THEN, Tonya took the entire lot of them and put them in the green bin.
GASP
The rats are going to have a field day. They go in the green bin and have been feasting on everything inside the green bin. They have been ignoring the traps that the Big Guy has been putting out.
Not the birds though. He has caught a few birds in the rat traps. That and a few mice too. If only the birds weren't so dumb. But they are curious.
There has been a few traps that have gone missing. The Big Guy thinks that perhaps the rat gets trapped and another animal, like a fox, takes the rat away, traps and all. At $6.00 a trap, he is hoping that he doesn't loose too many more traps.

Good morning Cape Breton.Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.
So after years and years of dealing with these tree stumps that are in the front yard, the Big Guy has finally come up with a solution to his problem.
The problem was, when the trees were cut, they were not cut close enough to the ground. So when the Big Guy is mowing his lawn, more than once, the lawn mower would be stopped because it would hit the tree stump.
He tried a few things to encourage the stumps to rot faster. Like Epsom salts. He tried using his chain saw, but because of how low they are to the ground, he was cutting into the dirt. That only dulled the blade.
He had a size-able stump in the back yard. So one day, after doing his BBQ, he dumps the hot ashes on the tree stump. It doesn't catch fire, BUT it does smolder and burn the stump.
The Big Guy got a eureka moment. If he could contain the area where the charcoal would be, he could just burn the remainder of the stump.
So, he was at the Dollar Store and seen that they got a cute tin bucket. He is going to cut the bottom out of the bucket and then put that over the tree stump. This will contain where it burns. Then light the charcoal on fire. This will smolder, vice catching fire. Once the charcoal is burnt up, there should be no more stump.
Ta da...
Now, lets hope he doesn't set the house on fire.

Good morning Cape Breton.Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.
Yesterday the Big Guy re-installed the screen door that leads out to the back deck. I guess he got tired of waiting for the contractor to finish that job, so he went and got the door and did it himself. Took him about 10 minutes to finish that job.
So, now... how long do you think it will be before I loose my mind and break the door again...
You can certainly see the paint that is flaking off the house. They tried to get a quote to get the house painted and it was almost as much as new siding. But the new siding will last for the life of the house. So they are waiting for their mortgage to be up so that they can get that done.
Yesterday the Big Guy had his lawn mower out. He would hit some parts that were pretty dusty. He was pretty happy that his car was with Tonya at work. Otherwise, it would have been pretty dusty.
Yesterday the Big Guy took me to the dog park. We also went to Ford for a couple minutes to drop off the pop can tabs. The guy that the Big Guy normally speaks with wasn't there. But he still dropped them off and left.
I was the only one at the dog park for about 20 minutes. I didn't leave the Big Guy's side. Yes, I like being at the Dog Park, but I didn't have anyone to play with. So that was boring.
The Big Guy took the time to wash and wax his car. He really likes that car. But he doesn't like it very much when Tonya will lower the window and I drool on the side of his car. You can see the drool marks on the side of the car. Oh he doesn't like that one bit.

Good morning Cape Breton.Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.
Here I am at the bottom of the stairs and the Big Guy is whispering to me to start barking. Why does he want me to do that? That will only wake Tonya up and put her in a foul mood. Does he want me to get in trouble?
So it's Friday and I can see bags of garbage that have been put to the curb.
I'm saving up all my pee for my walk.
I gotta pee on as many garbage bags as I can.
So, do you know what else the Big Guy has done this morning? Well he got to cooking. He has made is "ultimate meaty spaghetti" sauce.
I drool on the best of days. But if you could only smell the smells that are coming out of the kitchen.
Did I hear you right? You would like his recipe for the sauce? If you click >>HERE<< it will bring you to the right place so that you can see his recipe. I hope that you can make his sauce just like he does.
So, this is going to be the 3rd day in a row that the Big Guy is still home with me. I sleep most of the day anyways, unless the Big Guy starts moving around. Then I will get up to see what he's up to. Otherwise, I just leave him alone to do his "thing"
Normally his "thing" includes playing on his XBox or watching TV. I see that he does both very well. Then he will also take naps. He takes several of them. So I guess he's a bit like me then. Just napping the day away.
