What a rotten day!
Our garage door broke on Friday and we had put in a call to the company that installed it to come out and fix it. They called this morning and were supposed to come out between 2-4 pm. I got a call shortly after the first one asking if we could move it up to between 9-11 am. "Sure, no problem. Just call me before you come out so I can meet you there."
Phone rings
"Mr Dawson. My installer is at your house and says that he can't get anyone to answer the door."
No **** Dick Tracy!
So we rescheduled for tomorrow between 8-10.
We also had to take my dog Gizmo to the vet due to a limp in his left hind leg. We knew he was going to have to have surgery on it similar to the other one but he had been doing so well that we thought it might hold out for a while. Nope. It won't stay in the socket so he has to have surgery today.
On a better note we started working on Colby's room last night. We got the crown molding installed and hope to primer the room tonight. We picked out the color for the room as well.

Panthers, hummingbirds, and our entertainment center.
So it has been a while again I see. Sorry!
Today's episode features the Carolina Panthers, some really small birdies, and a new addition to the family...room.
On Sunday July 27th I went with a friend of mine, Clayton, to the Panthers' training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. It was hot, but a lot of fun. Not too far of a drive, we got there in about 1.5 hours. We found a spot and parked it next to a fence beside one of the practice fields and I set up my new lens for the event. I got a lot of nice shots, but the press and team staff always seemed to get in my way.
Last weekend I set up our hummingbird feeder, not expecting much action but to my amazement we had our first hungry bird in under 15 minutes. We have had a lot of fun watching them the past few days and they have already gone through the first batch of nectar. There are 3 that seem to rotate, and play. I have been trying to get some photos of these guys but they are fast and small. I still need to practice but I have been having fun. Some of my favorites are here.
We bought an entertainment center a few weeks ago and have been working on running some wires to prepare for the delivery. I finished up everything on Friday and the unit was supposed to be delivered Saturday morning. Well Rooms To Go decided to overload the truck and couldn't fit our stuff on it so they moved us to Saturday night. We finally went to bed at 10:20 PM after hearing nothing from them. We got a call Sunday asking for directions and they showed up about 9:45 in the morning. The crew immediately made things worse by cutting the box open with a knife and adding two fresh new grooves into the front of the bottom section! Then they somehow chipped the top piece as well. Our replacement is supposed to be delivered on Thursday. We'll see.
That is all for today. Check back later for another episode.
