It's hot here. It was supposed to be 100f today. I don't think it got that hot more like mid-90s. Either way it sucks. It was 100 yesterday.
I was going to go up to the lake this weekend but I decided to stay home and work on the kitchen instead. Turns out it was too hot to spend any time in the garage without having a heat stroke so I didn't get much done. I probably would have been more productive working on the retaining wall up at the lake. However the local TV stations keep interrupting 60 Minutes and The Simpsons to talk about the tornado warning for Lake and Cook counties. Apparently a tornado went past Eagle Mountain a little while ago, that's about 5 miles from both of our properties. Sandy is hoping that the "cabin" will get blown down. If that happens we'll probably wish we had insurance on it so we could get some cash to build a new place.
Speaking of building a new place here's a website with some interesting houses we might want to try to model our place after...

Interestingly the Small House Society is based in Iowa City, or at least that's their PO box address...
FYI they're talking about Ronnie WooWoo on ESPN right now during the Cubs game.
We might be getting ready to walk the dog over to the lake so she can go for a nice wade. Also there's a Dairy Queen over there.
Remind me not to linger around the garage at Dad and Kathie's cabin...
