Went for a 2 mile walkabout around 10 pm. Spent too much of the day sitting on my ass in the house because it was so humid out and it was last call to get something moving. Observation: My hood is very dark and quiet after 10, saw nobody.
I did not. Just one barking dog and fireworks in the background. And some strange animal fight noise in the woods.

I guess our third preceded these. One of kiddo's Chromebooks (she holds onto stuff) went down around that worldwide crash thing. I think a system restore will bring it back for a while, but there's probably a new one in her future this fall.
Found a new TV for a very non-budget breaking price. Found a place that shoved my lenses into a pair of glasses for a stopgap solution. They're loose, so last week's nights of cleaning auditorium chairs sucked even more than I'd expected, and loose glasses just aren't that great. They should do until we get something new with likely a new prescription.
When the owner rehires someone that was let go 6 years ago for saying the "extra mileage" he was turning in on his expense report on his car for company business was a second source or income, has me scratching my head. I was the one that discovered his "second source of income." So much for business ethics, I guess.
The one night my foreman doesn't lock his truck, it's gets broken into and tools stolen. 3 Nail guns, hammer drill, dewalt impact and drill and batteries, dewalt battery saw, and a few other things. They left his golf clubs, a corded saw, and his pouch, so he thinks he must have scared them off when he got up in the middle of the night and turned a light on in the house.
Planned a canoe camp this week in northern WI. It's only a 30-40 ish minute paddle so backcountry lite.
1st night was going great (except for biting flies) until the wind stopped and the sun went down.
Then it was millions of mosquitoes all over the place. Worse I've experienced. Then they were still there in the morning along with biting flies.
Instead of spending the rest of the time finding ways to keep them off (and my dog) I left that morning and threw down for a hotel and have still been able to go out adventuring in spurts.
Makes me ready for fall.

All the rain leads to lots of standing water which leads to lots of mosquitoes
Just got a text that eta on fixing the Internet is 10:55. I really wanted to watch the women's team gymnastics tonight
Yep and they've had plenty of it.
I figured there would be a few but that was the first time I've gotten to that point.
Back before me my friends became family guys and abandoned canoeing with me, I still would only agree to boundary waters treks in the spring or fall. Just nope to those ******* biting bugs.
Edit: Worst mosquitoes I ever experienced, houseboating on Lake of the Wood in July, JFC!

Usually this time of year things have dried enough but they've got plenty of water.
It was also real humid that day/night which only made it worse.
I've decide fall must be the best. I was up in May and the mosquitoes weren't bad but the ticks were there to make up for it.
