We’re back from our weekend trip to Michigan. It was complete with a EF 1 tornado ripping through there, flipping over pontoon boats and taking down trees. Then we lost power for about 24 hours. All in all we had a great time. The town was super cute and the kids had fun swimming and running around with each other.
Lots of good food, lots of beers, lots of good music. All of our clothes smell like campfire and lake water. Can’t wait to go back!

We got our first ash fall. Everything is covered in black volcanic sand.

Went to the Nats game on Friday night and it was beyond miserable. Not fit for humans. At 10:30 at night I had sweat in every conceivable place on my body. Car said 89 driving home at 11:30 and the humidity was through the roof. I love having to shower at midnight so I can go to sleep.

On Friday we had to say goodbye to SweetDee. Some may remember that I adopted her, 14 years ago, almost to the day. My parents took her in due to my shitty small apartment and my mom working from home and she quickly became an absolute staple of my parents house. It's going to be weird going there when she's not there anymore and I certainly did not take it well on Friday. Berg took it the worst and was an absolute mess about it Friday. 2.0 seemed very cognitive of what was happening but was taking it like a champ. She did tell me yesterday, though, that she really misses Dee and that made me sad. She was a great dog and lived an incredibly happy and long life, for that we are grateful!

We cancelled our plans to see the Richmond flying squirrels on Friday night due to the heat. I think we made the right call.

Thanks guys, I had a dream where we lost our dog, Hunter, too. I felt shitty this morning when I woke up but I'll get over it. He's 11 and not getting any younger but he still is in good form and a very happy good guy. Our other dog, shithead Chihuaha is 14 but also in good shape other than the fact that she's blind, and shits everywhere. We have been talking about rescuing another dog....well my wife has been talking about it for 2 years, I'm finally giving in....

On a happier note, our 4th of July was pretty lit. We invited Bergs friends and their parents over for smoked meats, meets and drinks. We all had a real fun time and we drove out together to see fireworks. The kids had a blast and the parents all had a good time as we all get along real well. It's safe to say we have made some new friends and it's nice that all our kids are the same age and go to school together because we all have a lot of fun together.

When you take the chihuahua to the vet is that what you tell them their name is? I really hope so

Lucy, our 16 year old car has to take gabapentin before her vet appointments.
She has an appointment in about an hour.
Legs gave her the dose before I got home and when I got here she's barely breathing and almost totally nonreactive...
I want to take some!
