Ladder-back Larry

Ladder-back Larry
Did our regular hike this morning in hot, breeze-less conditions.  The good thing about today's outing was the absence of ANTagonists; we were able to take several shade/water breaks without worrying about Heelers being bitten.

When we got home we took our time going through the usual routine:  giving dogs treats, doing a few chores, taking showers.  We were expecting the delivery of our new refrigerator from Lowe's between noon and four o'clock.  Unfortunately when I stepped out of the shower at 10:20 I heard the beep-beep-beep of a vehicle backing up.  It was the huge Lowe's delivery truck with our fridge.

Dr. K and I had to scramble to get everything out of the old fridge--which we had planned to do in a leisurely fashion--while the delivery men were bringing the new one in.  Fortunately everything worked out OK.
