The house is practically a sauna tonight, lol. Quentin forgot to open it up and turn off the heater before he went to work. So not only did it hit near 70F outside again, the house is really, really, REALLY warm. I walked in and felt like I'd been hit by a brick wall. So off went the heater, interior divider curtains and windows were opened and after an hour, it's starting to feel like a more comfortable temp. I'll have to close up in a while though, it's threatening to rain and if it does, the way the house sits on the mountainside, it's liable to end up with rain coming in the main windows. But it's awful nice to have it warm again instead of barely tepid!
Bouncer is feeling spring fever, too. He gets a walk daily with Quentin around lunchtime, but now when I get home, he wants me to take him for a stroll, too. So I did that, and then I grabbed my little chainsaw (aka "the midget cricket") and got some wood cut. Not a lot because someone last fall decided it would be a great idea to see if an 8" battery operated chainsaw could cut a log off a 6" tree. (*coughQuentincough*) Said same person thought it would be a good idea to "help" the chainsaw "torque through the tree" by pushing it and using it in a sawing motion as it cut. This has worn out the engine to the point that I'm lucky to get half an hour of cutting done before it can't take anymore and has pulled way too much off the battery. There's a short in there somewhere because of that little stunt, so now I have to look into getting a new one and NOT letting you-know-who have his grubby little paws on it, lol. At least I'll have a backup battery that way and can cut even longer though.
My dinner is ready and as soon as I'm done eating, I'll get busy on finding some books for everybody! Hugs all, it's been a great day (even though next week, we'll barely see 40F to maybe 50ish all week), but I need to eat and do some other things. See you tomorrow!
