Dog days of spring

There was a bit of a delay getting my solar panels installed. They're all on the roof now, but the service can't start until the inspector comes by and approves the installation. That's been scheduled for Monday.

The other big news is that Benny retired this weekend. His last day of work was on Saturday, after which I brought him to my house to get acquainted with Rei and the neighbors' dog. Early indications are that Benny and Rei will get along rather well. I had all of today to get Benny settled, and then tomorrow morning I will be taking off on an early flight for my four-week beagle replacement class. My parents will be dog-sitting until I return.

I won't be taking a computer with me the way I did last time. I'll just have my Kindle for internet. I plan to pack a few solitaire board games to keep me occupied in the evenings.
