Well the dog walk is here and I haven't assembled it because yours truly forgot the pins at class (goofball = me) and the weather for the next several days will be getting hotter and chance of rain and the white stuff until Saturday.
Getting the dog walk on the roof rack was a bit of a chore since I am short, 5' 7". Then I had to get the straps and the bungees around the three planks to get them secured. Because it royally blow if any one of them were to slide and do some damage to someone's car or property but it would royally tick me off if I scratched, broke a windows, or dented the new truck. It isn't even two months old and we finally broke 1000 miles on it. After two hours in the cold, mind you I had to walk into the building and carry each plank out. Luckily a mother and her daughter (her other daughter was part of the class after ours) held the door me. I was so drained and you know why? Because I ran all morning and didn't eat! Can you say.. D O O F U S! 
So I needed some caffeine and i have been really trying to stay away from it. But alas, "you gotta do, what you gotta do." So Mountain Dew here I come and I knew the next day am going to have a caffeine headache. During this whole process, Chloe didn't even whimper or make a noise. "Good dog!"
The drive home was a long one because I didn't venture to the highway and as soon as I left the parking lot, I started to hear some funny noises up top so I stopped. It was the towel I left up there. Anyways, back to the drive, as as soon I as went past 45mph, the wind noises prevailed and then i would hear a creak. That worried me because I wonder if one of the planks were sliding back and if they were flapping. They shouldn't be doing much moving at all actually but that wind noise was horrifying to hear. Mind you, I am on some small road and its hilly and bumpy and i was a bit tense. As I near the house, Chloe started to do her normal thing when she needed to go to the bathroom. What timing!
After parking and getting Chloe to do her thing, I rested for a bit and then ....
The bloody neighbor across the street parks really close to the truck and I can't take the planks off. I was so hot. She has always been a royal PITA (look this up at an Internet acronym dictionary website if you don't know what it means) ever since I have lived here. She is never home and now she is. The sun is coming down and its getting colder. She finally leaves 30 minutes and later and its dark. I decided that I wasn't going to leave the dog walk at the house but leave it i the garage - doofus strikes again! So I had to walk to the garage which was a good 200' away. Ahh, did you think I should drive to the garage? Haha. Not on this day! I already too all the straps off. Oh that part of Monday really blow chunks.
Last week, I had to do some touch up painting on the teeter plank. And I am debating whether or not to lowering and mostly i will be but Chloe is doing her 2o2os fine. Three weeks ago, I lower the A-Frame back to 3' to work on 2o2o.
Today, I hosed down and clean the jumps. And the more I think about it, I need 3 more jumps. I'll get them through Denise this time around. I haven't decide if I need a triple, double, panel, or broad jump but for sure I want a tire jump since the chute seems to go hand-in-hand with it. Just one of those things I have noticed.
When its cold and wet outside, I usually take one of the jumps inside and luckily, I can break down the jump width even further to work on some flatwork. Getting a rear cross tight takes some work but boy is it awkward.
Today is suppose to be near 60 degrees. I wonder what I will to do with Chloe?
