Jolly ball search underway

Another early start waking before 7 to play some games before starting the day. The wall art lady was planning to come today so touched base on time only to find she changed mind :( No meds for Switch fingers crossed she and Roo are on the mend. I made coffee just for me; S has not been enjoying it since surgery so maybe we will quit the habit?? I worked on marketing and tutorials after feeding H. S popped out briefly to lay on couch then back to bed to sleep longer. The transition and perhaps the walk a few days back have him uncomfortable.

The tray had another coat of clear added after staged photos were taken.

I ran to town at 1 dropping of the box of expired drugs at the pharmacy and mailing the Etsy parcel. Next stop was to walk with Mom and Dad in the nice sunshine. After grabbing a cooler with veggies for us and Paetz's - thanks Mom, I picked up Cooper. A quick stop to grab a few groceries, grab some ice caps then drop the cooler at Paetz's was next. I also got some of AJ's sourdough starter in exchange for zucchinis. I grabbed a free cabinet on the way home with Cooper.

I delivered S his ice cap, unloaded my goodies, moved garage laundry outside to dry and put a coat of paint on the dresser. For supper I cooked up a delicious HF meal; sesame crusted salmon over cold noodle salad. It was so yummy and would make again.

It was beautiful evening so decided to load up H with Cooper running behind and go look for the missing orange ball. As soon as we got to the winery hay field I spotted the blue soccer ball I did not even notice was missing along with a green ball from way back that went missing. 

Score.. this spurned my pursuit to find the orange ball so continued east along the canal to the old house. Cooper was running out of steam but caught up at old house and helped me look on foot for a bit then we set off around the field along our fence line then back to canal. As Harley and I looped around thru the winery I checked to see Coop cutting across the field to the house. H and I continued all around the winery, along their trees and ours with no luck, in our yard S suggested the far west paddock that has such long grass but no luck there.

Back at the house H stayed in the ranger while I checked in with S. I waited for B to arrive at 8 after her meeting then she and Coop loaded in the back and we looped the dugout at the winery as S thought a den near there. Crazy if we did not find a coyote cross our path on our second loop. No luck with the ball so we headed back so I could park ranger back in shop and get H unloaded while B fed horses.

B and I went out to far paddock , she drew switch's blood and tested if with great result of 24! Then She and Coop headed home after 9. I sourced cables and set up a movie S wanted to watch called Running with the Devil ; a documentary about John Mcaffee. He was a bizarre billionaire and this is a bizarre movie. I say don't waste your time, I actually showered closer to the end losing interest in the murdering madman story. Seeing all was hooked up we also watched an Animal Kingdom episode. Seeing it was now midnight S was off to sleep as I watched a making the Cut before turning out the light.
