Can I come visit you in TX and play with all your toys Alice ??
I've only been to TX once and it was Houston on the 4th of July ..... Holy hot !!
Open house; come on. You can sleep on the top bunk in the "kids" room. SissyDog has the guest room. Or you can bunk with us on the muddy recliner sofas as long as you don't mind sharing with the dogs. No bottom bunk bed because I have storage boxes under it. I do have a bunch of toys, from months back, that I've only opened and looked at. And some of them aren't even vaping toys.
I just put tumbled mini to rest for a bit after a good soak in alcohol, blow out, and now air drying. Neglected green/silver and purple/purple Minis are now keeping me company. They are so thankful for the attention. Purpleheart is getting a good cleaning so one of the Woodvils will join the gang.
BTW.... There was a mar on the tumbled door. I wanted to attempt to rub it out a bit. I used a low viscosity brass polish and Q-tip and didn't go at it too hard but when I rinsed it I could see that area looking more shiny. So............. if anyone uses a mildly abrasive polish on the tumbled it will actually polish it and make the spot a little bit shinier. I ended up getting a piece of cotton and doing the rest of the door. I like the finish as it came. I can see that if one wanted a polished it probably wouldn't be too hard to do.
When I was dog showing one of the biggest shows, in the US, was/is held in Houston, in August (or early sept; I forget). We set up crates for the dogs in the hotel and at show site and took them to hotel for the night. We would get up at 0500 to walk them before heading over to the show site. At that time in the a.m. it was so humid it was hard to breath. It actually gets hotter here but not nearly as humid most of the time. We've had a very cool spring. Usually by this time we are in the 90s during the day but temps still drop to around 80 or high 70's at night. In late July, all August, most of Sept, night time temps usually don't get much below 90, if at all, at night. Past few weeks we had a few nights get in the 40's. That is extremely unusual. But very nice and helps lower the electric bill.
My battery 510 passthrough bit the dust the other night. I use it to dry burn all the attys after cleaning, using adapters for 801 and 901. So now the oak/oak Woodvils are filling in, one 510 and one 801, so they are right here by me. Just have to make sure to move them out of reach of doggies when I get up for more than a few minutes.
After pizza, in a few minutes, I'm getting out some toys to sort. Come on over.
Hugs and have a good rest tonight, Alice
