The search continues...

Fuck CJ7's. I didn't even go look at it. After doing a bunch of research and calling all my mechanically savvy friends I bailed out. Seems AMC bought out Jeep and tried making a motor. That's right, the people who make the machine that removes your downed bowling pins tried their hand at engines. It didn't go well. Furthermore, if I install an AC unit, the engine will overheat. I'm in AZ. It's been over 100 degrees daily. No AC is not an option. So as much as I would just love to see a CJ sitting in my driveway, I would also like to drive it without worrying about it breaking down every single time I turn the key.

I am going to renew my search for a treadmill and let the Jeep idea stay on the backburner where it has been all along. CL here I come. Tabitha and Jim are going fucking NUTS. Sure, we take them out to run at night, but still, it's bloody hot. Also, don't tell Jim but he's ten and his joints simply are not what they used to be. When I take him out with the Tabster he runs like he's two again. It's impressive and then the next day it's kind of sad. He gets all sore and stiff. As in help me get into the truck sore. I do believe a nice long slow walk for him and then a tough hard run for her is in order. Once winter is here we'll go back to the alleys. As of right now, burning the pads off their feet is just to real for me to ignore. Summers are going to be my bitch season now. I miss the woods. I miss hiking for hours. I am the outdoors type and I once again didn't think before I jumped. Maybe that will be my new motto? Jump, think, look. I will last as long as I can on the promise from Mr. F that we will someday live in the woods again. Until then, technology will help ease my troubled mind. It will also save Tabitha from becoming the most annoying dog on the planet. Today isn't as bad as usual with the promise of monsoons and clouds blocking the sun. I might go check out a dog park near by. Then Lowes. Thank you Lowes for allowing me to drag my dogs around your store, I really appreciate it. Thank you to the woman who brought her overly aggressive Chow into Home Depot and let it maul someone. You did in fact ruin it for the rest of us. But then again, you own a Chow. It's expected.

I have a little project to take upon myself. Our AC lets the excess water loose next to the front door. This wouldn't be an issue but it's next to the house and that means all the water runs in front of the door, soaking the mat and creating a little tiny river. This equals wet feet entering the house any time we use the front door. That is often. Teaching J & T to wipe their feet didn't exactly work out. As cute as they are, I don't want to look at little muddy dog prints on the floor anymore. I am going to go to Lowes and get some PVC piping to attach to the drain and then direct the water so it goes across the walk way and into the ground by the grapefruit tree. Everyone wins.
