19/Jun/20 I try to get as many toys in the same spot

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

So it was warm outside yesterday.  It's going to be another warm day today as well.

Tomorrow, it's going to be cool again.  Totally unlike Summer at all.

It is the extremes that make life interesting.  The temperature goes from very warm, to very cold in the span of one day.

The humans can't adjust properly.

The Big Guy was watching the news and people are going to the beach.  But the water is still very cold.  Same with Swimming pools.  It may be warm outside, but the pool water is still very cold.

Although that is the fastest way for me to cool off.  Is to soak my paws.

That bit I don't mind too much.  But when Tonya chases me aound the back deck with the hose.  NOPE.  That is not enjoyable at all.

The Big Guy built some new chairs for the front deck.  The reason there is a blanket on the chair, the little rails, cuts into the back of your legs, unless your wearing track pants, like the Big Guy was yesterday.

Now, Tonya says that she is going to be staining the chairs.  She doesn't know what color just yet.

But it isn't like she will need a gallon of stain.  Just a small quart.

18/Jun/20 certainly not going to drown if there is no water in the pool

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The Big Guy was cleaning out his garage and he thru my wee kiddy pool up on the deck.  So far, no water in the pool.

I mostly use the pool for drinking out of.

Of course Tonya thinks that I would be better served if I would lay down in the pool and cool off.

But when I get up out of the pool, now I've got heavy wet fur.  The wet fur holds in the heat alot more than if I am dry and let the wind blow thru my fur.

Remember yesterday, I said that the Big Guy was going to BBQ some pork loin.  Well he did.  Tonya said that it was wonderful.  It was juicy and it was so delicious.

But because it's pork, I can't have any.  For some reason, pork gives me the trots.  

I wonder why they call it the trots.

English language is weird.

Last evening, friends of ours were supposed to drop by and get the last of the cut up wood that is in our back yard.  But, because the Big Guy was doing some BBQ, Tonya parked the car in the grass, over by the wood.  So, when this couple dropped by to get the wood, they coudn't see the wood pile, as the car was blocking the view.

So, they are going to come by today to get the wood.

17/Jun/20 Summer finally decided that it was time to visit

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Yesterday, Tonya and the Big Guy were cleaning up the yard.  He mowed using the lawn tractor and Tonya mowed, using the push mower.  It's always the hill part of their lawn that is difficult to deal with.

Now, the Big Guy was actually supposed to trim the hedge.  Well he didn't do that.  So he may end up doing that today.  He will see how he feels about that.

They also put some stuff out to the curb.  Well most of it is gone.  Which of course pleases the Big Guy quite a bit.  To him, it was all trash.  But to other people, well, they seen it as something they could fix.  But it's all gone.  So the Big Guy is quite happy about that.

There is just this final stump that is in the front yard that the Big Guy would like to deal with.  So, today might be the day he finally deals with it.  He has some rope upstairs that is 900 pound test.  So if he can tie onto the stump, and then use his lawn tractor, that stump might me coming up.  Then again, he burnt a different stump to the ground.  So he may end up doing that too.

The Big Guy took this pork loin out of the deep freezer.  He says that it's time to cut it into steaks and time to have a BBQ.  He normally gets about 16 steaks out of the pork loin.  He will BBQ them all and then pick away at them over the next few days.

As the Big Guy was cleaning up his garage, he put my little wading pool up on the deck.  They didn't put any water in it.  I guess that will be later today.

Yesterday there was a lot of activity at the elementary school.  The kids and their parents were at school, cleaning out their school stuff for the year.

16/Jun/20 here take my paw, just let me sleep

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It is rather bizarre how the weather people forecast good weather on the weekend.  Now with the way that people work, it isn't always Monday to Friday.  Just like the Big Guy, he works the weekend and gets the week days off.

With that being said, he is rather pleased that the weather is going to be sunny and not too hot for the next three days.

Just like the Big Guy also has this MONSTER prime rib roast in the freezer.  He knows that it should be cooked before too long.  But it was way too much for just himself and Tonya.  So he's going to have to cook it and invite his brother inlaws and sister inlaw over.  They will not be able to eat too much of it.  This thing is rather huge.

Will I get any of it?  Well isn't that the $64,000.00 question.

If I'm lucky, I will get some of the fat that Tonya will not eat and some of the bones.

As it is, Tonya made some Pizza yesterday and wouldln't you know it.  There is no real crust on it.  She got the toppings right up to the edge.  

So I'm sitting there, drooling and staring at Tonya as she is eating her pizza.  Just waiting for the crust.

Of course she gave in.

I tried it with the Big Guy when he was having his piece of pizza.  I stared at him.  I put my mussel on his chest to watch him eat.  I tired drooling.

That guy is a rock.  He just stared back at me and blew in my face.

Then he popped the last piece into his mouth.

I went and laid down and sulked.
