I got up as soon as the alarm went off. I did a few minutes of Minions and then got out of bed. After pet stuff and breakfast I went outside. It was ugly, high 70's and high humidity.
I started by gluing the concrete blocks for the pump shelter foundation. The glue seemed to work well. It immediately bonded the blocks. There wasn't any sliding them into place. I had just enough adhesive to do the job. I put the extras away and got things read for laying out the rocks for using mortar to put them in place.
That job took about half an hour, so then I went to work on the deck. I put in the last to boards. When I removed the first old board I was greeted by a large mass of fire ants. That required a detour to the garage to get ant poison. It had just been getting hotter, so I was soaked in sweat and tired by the time I got that done.
We left for the dog party after I took a shower. It involved driving I35 from 290 to about halfway through downtown. I35 was uncrowded and moving at speed. I've never seen it that way at 10:30 in the morning.
We found a parking space right outside the dog party. It was pretty neat. They had two food trucks and free beer. They also had all you can eat doggie ice cream and doggy treats. Lucy had two bowls of ice cream and a bowl and a half of dog treats. She would have eaten more, but Ellen wouldn't let her have any more. Lucy got to meet and great a whole lot of doggies. There were 1600 people there and I don't think there were any dog fights. It was fun.
We left about 2:00. Because we'd never been in that section of the city, we spent some time driving through the neighborhood. It's a lot of cheap student housing (old houses) and a lot of restaurants and bars. A lot of it was brightly colored.
We stopped at the post office on the way home. When we got home we surfed (I played Minions) because the weather was really ot and humid. Apparently it's record temperatures.
In the evening it was TV, reading, and football.
