S'pose to be really heavy by tomorrow afternoon. Was going over to Trudy's and see her new dog. A 2 year old black lab that needed a good home. This dog has fell into 'dog-heaven'. She told me with the lab being there it has calmed her Dobie pup down a lot. It is a win-win situation, for sure. So, we agreed to wait until next week and hopefully have a decent day to sit outside and let the dogs play in her huge fenced-in back yard.
Helped Dad with his latest acquisition today. He told me he was greasing the post that connects the wheel to the axle and water was coming out of the top. Probably from sitting out most of the summer in all that rain we got. He is now tackling the little things like putting the proper nuts and studs and bolts on the tractor. For instance, the front part has a triangle thingy that is bolted on. One is a square stud and the other is the proper hexagon stud. Looks awful. That's the small crap that drives him crazy. He cannot understand why people do things so half-ass, and, neither can I. The radiator is gonna need looked at 'cause the block is getting too warm too fast. And, the brakes are either rusted tight or worn out. Other than that, he's enjoying it.
Well, stopped raining for a bit, need to take the dogs out and get to bed.
Later................

It is really dry here and that dust from Africa is blowing in, too. That, and along with the high heat, it is best to stay indoors. We need some of your rain.
DD....I wish I could send some to you. My yard is like a sponge, but, the flower beds are easier to weed, for sure.
