In The Shade

It's warmer today. I don't know the exact temperature, but I don't have to wear my fleece jacket, so its over 50. No matter what the temperature,  Scooter prefers to  lie in the shade by the car. I think it is because it is cooler, although I suspect he senses his vantage point for catching the attention of admirers as they walk by. Yesterday someone walked by the camper, patted him and said "hello scooter!" Apparently my dog had introduced himself to this person earlier in the day...
As of now we are still waiting for the travel lift to come and get the boat and put it in the water. We are hoping it floats, since one year we put it in, it did in fact start to sink. (They quickly pulled us out again and let Darryl put in the plug he had forgotten about). The good news is we would only have gone down six feet. Let's hope we "splash down" in a relatively uneventful fashion this year. Keep your fingers crossed!
