Day 1201

I woke up at 8 today.  Cooper was crying in his room, so I got up and brought him to bed.  We stayed in bed with him for a little while and then got up.  After pet stuff and breakfast I did a little surfing.  I really wanted to accomplish something, so I went on the wen to look for a post to mount the windmill tail.  I found a likely place and emailed them.  Before the email I went out to measure how long the post should be.

Ellen and I used the pole saw to figure out the height.  We adjusted it until we had what we thought looked good.  We decided on 11 feet high with 2 feet in the ground.

While I was out there I identified a couple of things to work on.  Some of the brickwork at the end of the deck had been covered up with dirt.  I got out the rake, shovel, and garden cart and removed it.  I washed off the brick, but there was too much to wash off at once.  I'll have to give it a second spray later.

I also noticed that there was a dead branch laying on the play house roof.  It was about a 3 inch branch and about 15 feet long.  I got out the sawsall and cut it off.  Then I dragged it off the roof and hauled it back into the woods.  I also took out the garbage and recycle.  By the time I was finished putting everything away I was tired.

I went back in and had lunch - brisket sandwich.  I discovered that Cooper liked brisket.  We're both worried.  He hasnt eaten very much since we got him.  He's acting hungry though.

Devon is still getting medieval on Cooper's ass.  I spent a lot of time spraying him to discourage him.  He still hasn't got the idea yet though.

After lunch we went out to buy fish flavored cat food for Cooper.  We stopped at both pet stores and the post office.  We also stopped at HEB for some needed groceries.  The final stop was Circle C for a short walk.  It was a nice day, 65.  That gave Lucy a great doggy day - two pet stores and a walk in the park.

When we got home I did a little surfing and then took the dog to the mailbox.  All that time I was spraying Devon to keep him off Cooper.  We bought a "cat calmer" scent generator.  Maybe that will help.

Dinner was fish burgers and salad.  After dinner was TV.  Cooper and Devon were both on my chair.  Cooper moved next to Devon and Devon started licking him.  It was really cute.  They stayed that way for a whole movie.

After Kong time they got back on my chair.  This time Devon stated chewing on Cooper.  I had to whack him a few times to remind him that that isn't allowed.

The rest of the night was TV.
