What's Up Hiker?

Got up around 7:00 am and headed over to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. When I got home, Hiker and I went for a 1.5 mile walk and I did a few other things around the house. Watched “The Young and The Restless”, had lunch and then cleaned my guest bathroom. I guess sending that “decline in property value” form to the county accessor helped. I had paid my first installment on my property taxes and I saw that they had cashed my check, so I went into the county web page to see if it showed up on my account. I saw that they had made an adjustment for my next installment. I'll be saving almost $100.00. Hiker has been acting strange since I used the steam machine on the carpet yesterday. She seems to be afraid of something. I know she is afraid of the vacuum and I think she is more afraid of the shampooer. I hate that she cannot tell me what she is afraid of or what causes her to act a certain way. Only got up to around 83° here today. They say tomorrow we will be even cooler. That's good because after Jean and I take the dogs out on their walk we are heading over to Lombardi Ranch and then out to lunch.
