The Dog Days of Thursdays #440.

[slick]

I hate to admit it but the other day I was so cold I turned on my fireplace. We, technically, have not had a summer yet, although we are being teased with the odd day or two in a row where the temp reaches an all time high of **wait for it**........73F. As I sit here and wait for summer to arrive, I'm reminded that it's only 5 months until Christmas. Richard, you'd better dust off that Santa suit.

Jokes aside, please rally up a Spanish Coffee for me please??

**waves** High everyone.

Glad to see you back Richard - place just wasn't the same without you. Hope you don't mind the remodeling work that Gini and I did in your absence (hee-hee)

we're having a heat wave - high of 83 for a couple of days and then back into the 70's.

I'll have a talk with Orc - its not like him to misbehave so much.

Are there any more slushies left over from last week?

[pomtzu]

We had a little break in the heat, but now we're back in the soup. It's only 90 right now, but the heat index is 107. Much of the same 90's+ for the 10 day forecast.

I'll take my usual lemonade please, if Orc didn't squash all the lemons by jumping up and down on them. Did anyone tell him that you trample grapes for wine, but not lemons?????

RICHARD, I'll get out ye olde cement shushie mixer out of retirement and get Orc to clean the inside with his super-blaster to try and keep him out of trouble. Is that a pile of squashed lemons beside me ?!

[pomtzu]

Oops - looks like we're a day late and a dollar short when it comes to keeping that one out of trouble. Do you think he could be trusted to go get more lemons??? Wait.....maybe that's a bad idea afterall. Maybe I should go instead.

pomtzu,do you think I can trust him to clean the inside of the slushie mixer?

As long as he stays outside and doesn't get in it, thinking it's some kind of tumble amusement park ride. Maybe a leash on him to keep him from getting close enough to get in would work???
