Sonny and Ian finished shingling the west wall of the house in the morning while I scrambled to get the window and door trim painted on the south side of the garage / half bath / kitchen. The crises of the morning was that Billie’s dogs somehow managed to lock the doors after they were put in Corrie’s car preparatory for their departure back to North Carolina.  Fortunately (considering the hot temperatures today), Corrie had turned on the car air conditioning when she put the dogs inside.  Unfortunately, the only key was in the ignition… of course!  A complete jerk from the local AAA affiliate showed up an hour later and quickly jimmied open the car.  After lunch Sonnie and Ian put on the west side frieze boards, then shifted to shingling where I’d been painting while I shifted to painting where they’d been boarding.  A longish swim after work took me up the lake for a nice chat with Chuck Munger (owner of Green Mountain Garage, where I have Delores’ and my automotive servicing needs attended to), who lives on the other side of Marty & Merry.  The lake temperature is getting warm… very warm!
