Good Morning, Everyone, and Happy 4th of July!
Rusty slept with us most of the night and didn't want to get up this morning. His right hind leg is still bothering him (he pulled a muscle or strained a tendon yesterday evening, playing vigorously with his bell ball). But he did get out of bed and seems to be walking better than he was last night. We had a good test, breakfast (turkey combo of Wellness and FF T&G), and a shot that seemed to be OK even though Rusty shook himself just as I was pushing in the plunger. I am disappointed with my "good" old box of Monojects from last summer: in addition to needles that don't come down to the zero line, some of the cones themselves don't even come down to the zero line. I will start experimenting with the Terumos next week (Marje is going to start her research today!). The only problem is that the Terumos I have don't have 1/2-unit markings. But I intend to count drops. The measurement with the calipers will be totally different from the MJs, because the Terumos have a skinnier barrel.
We are celebrating the 4th of July with a cook-out at our friends' camp on Hoel Pond in the St. Regis Canoe Area. The camp is only accessible by water, so we will paddle there. The weather report isn't great: damp and cloudy this morning, maybe some sun this afternoon, but also a 60% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, some with damaging hail. We'll have to time our departure from the party very carefully if we have some of those thunderstorms. No worry about loss of power at this camp: it's entirely off the grid.
Rusty will hold the fort today and rest his leg. His automat will provide good fuds at the appropriate times. I hope he doesn't go too low while we are out. We expect to be back in the late afternoon, probably around +10.
Wishing everyone in the States a Happy 4th of July. Stay safe and stay cool!

Hey Kitties, Wow, that was a great Full Buck Moon Party last night. The fishing was spectacular in the rain and we really had some great grilled fish. Too bad we couldn't see the moon, but we know it was there. Moonie and I went out for a midnight paddle in the rain, hoping to see the moon, but we were not in luck. When we got back the whole gang was "singin' in the rain" and Tobey was reeling in lots of fish for the grill. Chef Mannie was busy with his creations. Maggie, Gracie, and Trixie were whipping up Moontinis. Tess was baking Moon Pies with some help from Raja, Ella, Rosy, and Daphne. And Zener, Shadow, J.D., Tarragon, Leo, Punkin, Checkers, and Rupert were chomping away in a hot-dog-eating contest, having outlasted the rest of the competition. At the end of the party we all paid tribute in song to our GAs, who were partying too, on the other side of the veil. At Halloween the veil will be the thinnest and we will all be able to celebrate together. It was great to see so many of our newer LL kitties at the party. This is a monthly event, ya know!!
