Signs of Summer

**Buster Highmen** · 05-14-2018, 08:34 PM

0) Cussing out the tangled wads of garden hose and electrical cord when it was stowed so neatly. How does this shit happen? Hose gnomes? Electrical cord sprites?
1) Searching for the tools, again, so carefully catalogued and stashed. Where's my socket set?
2) A fresh bottle of gin.
3) Limes and avocados in the fridge.
4) Callouses ( and the blister preambles).
5) Sore back from digging, raking, dealing with tangled wads (see 0).
6) White wine.
7) Getting smeared with winters tarp goo unfurling the garden and lawn furniture.
8) Sweep the deck.
9) Digging out the tennis rackets (raquets?) and balls. No I don't golf as long as I can move fast enough not to have to.
10) Setting up the fans, unsticking windows.
11) Stashing the winter blankets.
12) Fill the potholes in the drive (more).
13) Exhume the shorts and cotton t-shirts from the bottom of the clothespiles.
14) Bemoan the lack of nonblack socks. Style maven I'm not.
15) Bags of shit (bull and chicken). Compost applique'.
16) Tune up the lawnmower. Fuck that, buy a new one.

17) all those young ladies in town now wearing clothing that would temp the Jesus

18) all the old farts with the ragtops out of storage and cruising the ‘hood

19) seeking out the high country for the May long weekend to escape the low valley biting bugs that make gardening in the late evening an exercise of extreme will.

thunderstorms and panicked dogs.

Pemberton being the Canadian hotspot with a record-breaking 34C. Most interior towns recorded weather-breaking temps today. Creeks and rivers are raging!

May 6th I dirt biked and sledded in the same day! Fark yeah !!!

Isothermal in Alpine was spooky. The shity shale up there was water logged like mud. Creek crossings were next level sporty. Just a day in the life of a ratbagger eh ...

But then a clear forecast for overnight and nothing on the radar for 500 miles at least so we went to bedbut at around 3:00 AM it fucking went nuts again. Insane lightning and thunder right over the house.

House damaged by crazed dog before we even woke up, dog hurt himself trying to chew and claw himself through a door into a bathroom trying to find safety I guess. Blood on the doorframe, splinters everywhere. This is nuts. Gets worse with every storm with this guy. He still looks crazed many hours later. More in the forecast for later today and overnight tonight, fuck. He can't keep living like this, it's like torture for him. Literally like torture. Vet hasn't even called me back.

Rental cars full of Chinese tourons driving like idiots have appeared the last few days here.

No bullshit..thunder jacket. I've seen the craziest dogs immediately calm down when one is put on. I was skeptical until I saw it.

yeah we have 'em. does a lot of good for the little guy, none for the big guy at all. he even sees that thing he starts to sketch out, he knows why it's out.

little guy sees it, he comes and sits at your feet until you put it on him, he wants it.
