Day Three

The weather, not satisfied to have already ruined any thought of outside activity during our vacation, has decided to graduate into a tropical storm and just SIT right on top of us. If it gets wind (pun intended) of the fact I have no need for flood insurance in this area, the rain will probably increase in volume just enough to challenge that assumption. There is one saving grace to a double wide, my friends, and that is elevation. These things don't sit flat on the ground like more "respected" forms of housing, thus have a nice cushion above the ground for water levels to rise without getting into the house. I don't think I have to worry though, as the bodies of water forming in the dirt road haven't yet approached anything the size of Lake Superior as of yet.
The poor goats are having to spend the day in their "barn" digesting yesterday's bonanza of fresh grass. I'll feed them some hay tomorrow if there's no break in the weather.
The wife's appointment for her now biyearly titty mashing test was today, which meant the 9 AM appointment kept us there till around 11:30, since her fibrous breast tissue always gets the radiologists in a tizzy, which results in them calling her doctor to see if she wants an ultrasound as well, while poor wife sits semi-naked in the cold-assed room waiting for it to be all over with, and I'm out in the lobby wondering what they did with my wife. Oh well, better safe than sorry.
Being members of Netflix there always seems to be a movie laying around the house, so we watched one during the afternoon. Now that that's over with, the wife is puttering around cleaning things while I read my blogs, listen to pod-casts, reply to posts, or call up some nice eclectic internet radio.
One of my commenters was new to me, so I backtracked to her blog and discovered another wonderful blog to bookmark. Her last post had several Monet paintings, but as I delved further back I discovered posts headed in entirely, shall we say, "different" directions which I found equally entertaining. Pleased to meet ya, Cherish!
Well, that's it for today's report on THE VACATION. If this begins to really get to you, feel free to end the misery by sending us two round trip tickets to someplace nice, but do it soon, THE VACATION ends this Sunday, then it's back to the grind.
