Happenings

So it's been a week. Still trying to get the trailer ready to go. Had to replace the kitchen faucet since it froze and cracked during the winter. Not too bad overall.  Got the hitchhall and bike rack mounted. Kids closet is done, with new hanging clothes holders.  Propane is filled, and new "larger" battery is fitted.  Leaving in a few days, for some nice R&R, very much needed.

On the Nanana side, she finished up her training, of ObII.  Instructor didn't think anyone was really ready to move on, so it'll be OBIIa if we have the money just after labor day.  She had a couple of really good, long days in the house that she didn't do anything. Then BAM!!!!!  Last night she eats the remote for the new TV $$$$$$$$$$.  Got the new remote, Logitec 650, all programmed up and functioning. Gonna look at turning in the remove from the cable company to save a few bucks.

Tried to mow the lawn and ran over a sweatshirt that was buried in the lawn.... didn't get to finish, since it is now wrapped around the blade, I'll have to pull off the deck when I get back and pull the blade to get it off.. Guess I'll take the time and sharpen the blades at that point too.

As always, Nikki and I couldn't be happier together. Just wish we could figure out what is causing the headaches so she doesn't have to suffer with them.  It's nice having her here all the time, but not under these circumstances.  Quickly approaching 14 years of married bliss. Hopefully we will be able to save up enough to celebrate 15 years with a trip to Alaska next year.. Here's hoping.

Hectic is the word

So big party at Aunt Dar's on Saturday the 6th. Then it was up bright and early (4am) Sunday to head down to Brian's. Packed up the dogs and picked up Connor from moms and we were off. Got down to VA about 1pm. We were planning on going to Kings Dominion, but it was around 97 degrees in the shade.  So we just hung out and caught up on lifes events.  Worked from Brian's house on Monday, and heading home at 4pm. Leaving Michaela to enjoy her Aunt, Uncle and cousins. She seemed to have a really great time. Her posts on FB were entertaining at times...  It is very strange when she isn't around though.

Threw my back out on Tues, so couldn't do Nanana's training wed.. Will need to make up for it tomorrow, since it is raining today.

so, Friday comes, and I work the early shift, and we head back down to VA.  Stopped at DB deli and not only did it waste a lot of time, but we had the worst sandwiches ever from there (new girl doing the deli).  We got down to VA around 11pm.  Got to bed around 1am.. Got up early since I needed to go to Harbor Freight for a part for the camper.

Harbor Freight was a success, so I headed back to no one ready to head to KD.  So Nikki and I ran out to Vitamine Shoppe looking for a gluten free bar for Nikki.  We found and few and she picked up a chocolate peanut butter... (It was grass with dark chocolate around it..) needless to say she didn't enjoy it.

So off to Kings Dominion we go, we found the season pass vip parking, which is really close to the gate. it was a long hot day, it poured for about 2 hours and they shut down everything except the indoor stuff.  We still had a great time.  Left around 9ish, and had Cracker Barrel for dinner(a very late dinner). Got up Sunday and Brian had to go to work. We showered and went shopping with Annette. Picked up some stuff for the camping trip coming up.  Got back to their house around 6 and then packed up and headed home.

Got in around 3am this morning, and am sooooo exhausted. Luckily worked from home. Now watching TV with the Mrs... just chilling and enjoying our time together.

More later.

and the Training continues

Nanana did great today. We had our first off leash stay and come. She did great.. me however, bent over too soon, and was corrected. understandably, you don't want to bend over too soon and make the dog think they may have done something wrong, or think it is play time. Which is usually what I do with her when I call her over, play time....  She is getting her left hand turns really well, with the back statement, and allowing me to make the left turn.  Her stand is getting better, but still needs work. She does well as long as I have the food, need to work on the stand/stay, when I stop she just wants to sit..  All and all I couldn't be more pleased.. I also used the martingale all night instead of the prong which I think is a major improvement also.  Night Night.
