I wasn&#8217;t much help except I got to push the button every time he was ready to test it. He would make some minor adjustment and then he would tell me to push the button and then he would make some more changes and then I&#8217;d have to push the button again. I suppose I saved him from having to go up and down the ladder multiple times so I was useful that way. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/35679345536\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4206\/35679345536_983af1daa5.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Touchdown!

And, I&#8217;m happy to report, my Apple Watch survived it&#8217;s second water test (an hour of being submerged in the pool) with flying colors. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/35726068235\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4237\/35726068235_8c8942ee1c_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I must say, I much prefer taking Aqua Zumba to teaching it specially when it&#8217;s 100+ degrees outside. If you&#8217;ve not tried Aqua Zumba before, come join us at Andover YMCA on Saturdays at 8:45 AM. We only have a few more weeks left before they close the waterpark. (SIDE NOTE: Hideki is filling in this Saturday while I&#8217;m at ZINCON but I&#8217;ll be back next weekend.)<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/35557033262\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4279\/35557033262_17c5c71c57.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later that day we went to Cory and April&#8217;s for a real-deal 4th of July BBQ, complete with ribs and deviled eggs!

We had to get back home to comfort our dogs. Not so much Molly, who we are convinced has gone completely deaf in her old age because not only do fireworks not bother her like they do most dogs but she pretends not to hear us whenever we call her so I&#8217;m thinking maybe she&#8217;s not pretending &#8212; LOL &#8212; but Saki gets really anxious that she starts shaking. <\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I didn&#8217;t mind missing the fireworks portion of the festivities. I love watching the pretty fireworks in the sky but I&#8217;m not a huge fan of the loud, booming fireworks on the ground &#8212; specially the ones thrown at me. No thanks!<\/p>\n<p>That pretty much concluded our holiday weekend. It was quite and uneventful, just the way we like it. We both still have our fingers and toes and didn&#8217;t incur any injuries. I call that a fantastic weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian spent most of the day on 4th of July finishing what he and Chad started on Sunday afternoon: the partially complete garage door opener installation.
