21/Aug/19 you put your right paw in, you put your right paw out

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

Apparently were due to get some thundershowers tomorrow.  So far, the thunderstorms that the Big Guy has spoken about are all in the past.  It's been a long time since we have had a really good thunderstorm in these parts.

But I'm sure there is other parts of Canada that's been getting more than their fair share of thunderstorms.  Then there is the hail that can go with those storms.  Some parts of Canada has had really BIG hail.  The size of golf balls.  That would really dent the Big Guy's car.

I might be getting to see Aurora today.  They are supposed to come over for Fish & Chips.  Not sure how the Big Guy is going to make his beer batter if he doesn't have any beer.  Tonya will have to sort that out for him.

We got to sit outside for a bit last night.  There wasn't any mosquitoes at all.  The Big Guy was really happy about that.

I'm looking at the Big Guy and he is really tired.  He was up late last night.  He wants to go for a nap.

Just like me, I nap quite a bit as well.

Nap nap nap

We both like our naps.

20/Aug/19 am I not sexy as hell

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

It rained a bit last night.  Kinda surprised the Big Guy as he wasn't expecting rain at all.  He will often watch the weather network website while he's at work.

Now, Thursday, he was expecting rain.  

As to the amount of rain that fell.  Not very much.  Just enough to make the car dirty.

You want to get him going.  Just rain a wee bit and then let the rain drops dry on the car.

This leave a bunch of water marks on his precious vehicle.

He prefers "rain" rain that rains a lot.  This tends to clean the car.

It's been a bit of a Summer this year.  It would get really warm during the day, but then cool off in the evening and then the mosquitoes would come out and ruin everything.  Tonya and the Big Guy really haven't sat outside during the evenings very much this year.

I can see that the Big Guy is going to be making some balogna sandwiches this morning for his breakfast.  Do you think that he is going to share this balogna sandwich with me?

He doesn't even share the crust.

He says that bread is not dog food.

He doesn't share very much.

19/Aug/19 the garbage is next to the bar stool

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

When the Big Guy is cooking, he always uses this bar stool.  Sometimes he is in the kitchen for hours.

So, yesterday, the Big Guy created his "Mum's Macaroni", only this time, he decided to put some cheese in it.  Well, he did that, plus he added some of this KD Shaker cheese that he got at Sobey's.

Now, he thought it was pretty good.

Tonya told him, don't do that ever again.

So he will not.

He's going to have to find another recipe for that KD Shaker cheese that he bought.  Besides just on macaroni.

This is the second day in a row that the Big Guy has slept in.  Till almost 6 in the morning.  That's not like him at all.  He must be catching up on his sleep that he's missing.

He is also going to have to unplug the phone so that Tonya's sister doesn't call and wake her up.  The last couple days, Tonya has been getting up a little early.

Although it is Tonya's day off tomorrow, she will be running her family around.  One person needs a drive and then someone else needs a drive.  Here a drive and there a drive, everywhere a drive drive.

18/Aug/19 I'm glad you were able to open that door for me

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

Since I don't have an opposable thumb, I do need humans to open the door for me so that I can come inside.  That is a bit of a draw back when you need to do your business outside.

Either that, or you just want to go outside to "hang out" and be one with nature.

So, earlier in the week, the Big Guy made some ribs, Tonya did some potatoe salad and the Big Guy followed up with some Cole Slaw.

They even have some donair pizza left over, but that's frozen.

So, once again, the Big Guy finds himself in the kitchen, in the early morning.

What's he making you ask.

Well I will tell you.

Goulash, or as he calls it "Mum's Macaroni".

But, like most everything else he makes, I can't have it.

Frickin onions.

Always with the onions.

Couldn't he make just a little without onions in it?  Then we could call it "Gou".
