Not envious of anything. Okay, maybe cooler weather.

Since selling our pickup truck last year, I’ve been on an intermittent search for a little utility trailer because, sometimes, you need to haul stuff that’s not appropriate for the inside of the wagon.

My requirements were simple – 5 x 8, reasonably robust and cheap. Like many things, I was finding I could have two of the those three.

This weekend, though, I scored – it’s well used, but solid and was right at my preferred price point.

Now, what to haul around?

Karo syrup does many wonderful things – it makes for great pecan pies and stops our beloved Duncan’s semi-regular shakes when his body forgets how to process insulin. A little dab calms him right down.

Alternatively: Together, Alone (which is a fabulous record by Crowded House).

Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, when the porta potties appear in our parking lot, the first home game of the season must be near.

Was happy to get a neutral tone for the backgrounds here.

The groundwork continues alongside my route to and from work. A new gas station and quickie mart is expected here, along with a lot of traffic, I suspect.

Fabulous.
