Chill...

 

The weather?  No, it is "warmer than usual."  At least, here in the desert.  Another high of 79º kinda day.  I would say that this makes up for all those triple digit high temp days, but... well, you know.  I do appreciate the moderate weather.

This "chill" is about Murphy.  I have mentioned our morning routine: he gets breakfast as soon as I get up.  Then there is generally the "morning crazies," where he runs around the house.  I open the door to the bedroom so he can have some time with Joan while I am doing the rest of my thing (getting pills put out, checking blood pressure, then having some hot cocoa).  When I am done with that, I take Murphy outside.

When he and I come back inside, Joan is usually up, and having her first cup of coffee.  There is a treat for Murphy.  And, eventually, the boy chills...

 We put one of the kitchen bar stools (with his pad on it) at the patio door so he can look outside.  The boy has grown to the point where he hangs off the chair, but he seems very content there.

Then, some play time, where he bats his toys around and runs through his tunnel. 

He likes his routine.

The Man In The Mirror...

If you said, "A song by Michael Jackson, 1988, from the album Bad," you get 15 bonus points.  If you added, "Written by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett, and produced by Quincy Jones and Jackson," you get an additional 20 bonus points.

Is this going to be another post about some old guy looking back at you?  No, but thanks for asking.  This is actually about a mirror.  Well, a couple of mirrors.  Joan ordered two different mirrors for our bicycles.

The one she got for my bike turned out to be more work than expected to install... in order to fit it on the handlebars, I had to move the throttle and the controller.  With that done, I got on the bike and looking in the mirror, all I could see was my arm.  I took it off and installed it under the handlebars... nope, the mirror itself then extends inward, giving me a view of my crotch.

Joan said, "Try the other mirror."  I did, and it is a better fit.  Still took me about 20 minutes to install and fit it.  Then, she came out to the garage and installed the first one on her bike in about 12 seconds.

So, that was fun.
