hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see

    My house was hit by lightning last week. Heres the pile of victims so far (Router, TV and PS4 not pictured yet but probably dead too). All of this was behind a UPS (well 2), but line interactive one and allowed the strike to run through the UPS.

    Oh and to top it off, had to put one of our dogs down last week as well. Hardest part is explaining it to young kids (and the whole holding him while he is put down wasnt easy either). RIP wally

    So not awesome. But better than last week I guess…so theres that.

        He was. One of the better dogs I’ve ever owned. Was in effect a therapy dog for our other pup that struggles with people. And always more tolerant than he should have been with the kids.

        It was a long time coming. He had tumors in his throat and nose and eventually his quality of life suffered too much. Just sucks.

        He’s also the first death that hit my youngins hard. My 5 year old has struggled the most. Has some disturbing anecdotes since. Having to choke back your own thoughts/processing to explain it to kids is hard. Harder than I thought
