We dug it out alright. Got down into the mid to lower 20's every night! Froze our gazebo's off!!! BUTT, pardon that lil pun, we still sat by the bonfire at night regardless complaining about the cold with a blazing fire!

This is what the wife does best....



This me after I was totally exhausted from doing everything. I fall down and go boom.



hehe, this Diane chasing Howie...

I hate to keep nosing in on your business Howie and Diane but, has the date been set yet?



You know, these are the bear facts. You could make a cute couple.



This cute lil feller is already celebrating. He just drank all of Howie's stash. Hiccup!

Will soon have a CHIP (ICE CHIP) on my shoulder, so a SPRING Wedding is out since Horowitzian gave me the COLD SHOULDER! And . . . I can`t RUN in THESE shoes! grin

Speaking of animals, my last two tunings both had dogs peeing on the carpet. The stench at both was awful. And, at the first stop, I took off my shoes, and stepped on a wet spot. Stupid me.

A guy was here doing work and he didn't take his shoes off, but instead, he had these black, kinda, slippers that went "over" his outdoor shoes. Was really smart actually. You could simply leave your shoes on from now on and just wash these "cover thingys" instead of getting your socks, awwwwwww, wet! smile

Or, show the piano owner THIS, and explain that the dogs need to put the pets peas, in a pod! Explain that "slippery" when WET! grin

Think the SLIPPER COVER idea would work for you! Here's to the DRY look! . . . and feel! Can't hurt their feelings anymore than they should fell already, one should think! smile

Don't you hate it when that happens, or when a big lovable mutt finishes a noisy visit to the water dish and suddenly remembers he hasn't greeted the piano tuner properly? You can see him coming, jowls swinging, water flying and there isn't a thing you can do!

I liked the cat hanging off the mounted fish, Diane. There are a lot of fish in the sea, but you'll find mostly Piano Tunas here.

They are called "rubbers" Diane. Um, reminds me of another funny story. I went into our local Meijer super store and without thinking, asked someone where they kept their rubbers. They said, "in the Pharmacy section." I thought, HUH? Wouldn't they be by the shoes or boots? I wandered on over to the pharmacy area where I found rubbers alright but, NOT what I was looked for.

So, I proceeded to ask the next salesclerk where they kept their galoshes? They never heard of them but when I asked for rubbers for shoes, they wanted to send me back into the pharmacy section again giggling as they walked away.

I finally found some over in the shoe section but I had decided in the meantime to start having some fun while I was at it by asking more WOMEN salesclerks where I could find rubbers. I embarrassed a few of them. Sorry but, THEY started it! grin

Here's a picture of what it looks like Diane.

Yes, and I could see you enjoying teasing those salesclerks Jerry! Funny!!! The salesclerks probably all know your wife! grin

Well so, he wasn't wearing "rubbers" like the picture you showed Jerry, these were more like lab covers for the feet! Like this . . .

Jerry, you would JUST wear these cover INSIDE when you are working on someones pianos,
and take them off before you go OUTSIDE!
In the WINTER, OUTSIDE is another problem, right! smile
