Well then. Instead of having four things I wanted to accomplish, I suddenly had three. I don&#8217;t mind riding in the rain, if I&#8217;m already out and it starts to rain. That&#8217;s fun, and funny. <\/p>\n<p>But it takes some doing, getting everything clean and dry at the end of that ride. Price of admittance, though. And you&#8217;re honoring <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.velominati.com\/comment-page-8\/\">Rule #9<\/a>. Somewhat, that is. If I&#8217;d gone out, willfully turning the pedals just as the rain began, it would be a perfect expression of the rules.<\/p>\n<p>But if you can stay dry, stay dry. That&#8217;s not a rule anyway, as far as I know, but maybe it oughta be.<\/p>\n<p>So I stayed in and worked on one of the other three things. And, hey, one-third of one of those three things was accomplished. And here&#8217;s the proof. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june21\/june07.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>So a few more sets of cufflinks, ready to adorn sleeves. Don&#8217;t they look nice? I especially like the pair on the bottom. This photo doesn&#8217;t really do them justice. And now I need more french cuff shirts. And then more cufflinks. And so you see how it spins out of control pretty quickly. When I get through with all of these I&#8217;ll have &#8230; way too many of these things. <\/p>\n<p>Which is fine, because a project a bit further down the list of things to do is build something with which to hold all of my cufflinks. <\/p>\n<p>So many projects, so little time.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannercapers.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The cats are no help with the many projects. But otherwise, they are fine. And to begin our weekly check with a cozy shot of Phoebe sleeping in her hammock seat.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june21\/june08.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Put something fuzzy in front of a window and she&#8217;s set.<\/p>\n<p>Here she was, one recent evening, cuddling and &#8230; volunteering &#8230; for &#8230; something. Most assuredly she was not offering to help with any running project.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june21\/june09.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>This is the way they&#8217;ve been lately. When one gets up the other immediately takes over. Like Poseidon, here, who has spent a lot of time curled up next to me the last few days.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june21\/june10.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s keen on taking naps on kneecaps. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june21\/june11.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Making this another week in which we won&#8217;t solve the mysteries of kitties.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, more progress!
