The vet seems to believe that the dog that adopted us this past week when the A/C was out is a full blooded Yellow Lab.. Other than a mild ear infection and fleas he is in good shape, and already becoming a integral part of the family. The vet scanned him for a micro chip, but there was none. We haven't gotten a reply to our add in hopes his family would claim him so the flyer's and the add have stopped and "Scooter" is now an official Inside Out in Houston to! I know "Scooter"...... Well as you know I have 3 girls so one has got to expect that any animal we get wont come out with a cool name like "Harley"...sigh.
Update on Scooby the New Mexico dog that my father has inherited.. They are both doing great. I knew that was a perfect match. We invited Gram pa to Sunday lunch and sure enough he showed up with Scooby in tow. He actually looks healthier and the reason is he now has a reason to get out of bed and not just sit in his chair drinking Gin all day. Scooby makes him get out and walk. That 17 hours car ride was well worth it.
Its Monday!!! quit surfing and get to work people!!!! That goes for me to! Like usual I am slammed. Have a tolerable Monday and just think you are one day closer to the weekend....

Appreciation for the little things
Little things, like A/C in Houston Texas in the middle of the summer. We however do not have any right now. Seems that our compressor outside took a direct hit from lightning Sunday night and completely fried the whole system. The weird part was that nothing else in the house was affected. In fact when I woke up I assumed that it was just the old thermostat that had finally given up the ghost.
I called in a personal day and headed to Lowe's with all the confidence needed to be the man of the house and save money while being the hero and restoring the lovely cold air in the increasingly hot day in Houston. I expertly removed and installed the new device, and everyone held their breath as the LED display brightly glowed from my efforts. The moment had arrived, my finger gently relocating the switch from off to the heavenly coolness position........ waiting........ waiting...... nothing!! except however from the very cold looks from my family.
The next thing I see is my wife in shorts, t shirt and hair in a ponytail on the phone with the A/C repair guy. " Yes Mrs Inside Out I understand how hot is is". " We will try to be out there today before 4 PM" As my wife put the phone down and I glanced at the clock on the wall we both sighed deeply as it was just 8:26 AM. It was going to be a long day.
While we sat around sweating and feeling sorry for ourselves we noticed that we had some company in the back yard. It seems that a yellow lab with no collar and no obvious home had taken up residence on our back porch. The girls of course were right there to welcome him with a huge bowl of water and welcome pets and scratches. I sat down with them and let them know that this was not his home and that we would allow him shade and water but he was welcome to leave anytime after he had rested. When I woke up this morning I was greeted by him staring at me through the window wanting in. Looks like we are adding a new member to the inside out family. He has chosen to adopt us and stay around. So before work there was a trip to the store for food and of course a collar. then the dreaded call to the vet to get him a check up and shots. I guess good thing come from dire circumstances...

seperation of home and church
Tithing!!!
I should have known that this would be a hot topic when my wife read it. What I didn't know was that it would lead to marital problems of epic proportions. Without going into much detail I was forced to delete Inside Out in Houston and create a private blog.
Blogging in the past had created issues with people getting their feelings hurt after reading a few of my posts, and would further cause problems when i advised them that if they didn't like what they read don't read it. I am not the Burger King of blogging so I don't write it your way. I have always been the you get what see kind of person.
The only issue I have right now is that i have never felt the need to keep something private from my wife. I just cant and wont stop blogging because it the only therapeutic outlet that I have. I enjoy writing and having a place to get my frustrations out.
So for all of my three or four blogging friends I am back with a new page..
To Blog or not to Blog that is the question I am answering here. I choose to BLOG!!!!!
