In the morning I'll wear flip flops to sit on the back patio to drink coffee. And then I end up barefoot.

Why because my golden floof at times will camp out on my feet. And i just do not have it in me to move him to get my flip flops, so i go in pour a refill exchange my cup for bigger coffee cup as to not interfere with cuddles.

Then I sit back down and insert feet under my golden right paw and he wiggles to get into position usually accompanied by grunts of contentment.

5. Stop looking over my fence.

7. Replace the missing slats. I don't need no ladder for the full view, dammit. Stepstool's plenty good.

3. Side question, unrelated to your foot warmer. I believe you are a truck driver. So,

heavy duty trucks have an "engine brake." This is in addition to the brakes on the wheels. Drivers call this the "Jake brake." How did it get that name?

4. That I do not know the answer.

8. Stuff like this comes into my head once in a while.

6. All standard transmissioned vehicles have "engine brakes", it's using engine compression to slow the vehicle.
