Let's tackle these one at a time:

• The SUV didn't pass inspection last week.

And despite extensive probing of the Ford Explorer message board, I haven't had an "A-Ha!" moment. Today I cleaned the mass-airflow sensor (again) and re-set the computer. I'll try the inspectors again next week.

• The picture-windows still need some finishing out.

Rained out. Though I did get some more foam sealant pumped into the perimeter before it came a-gulley washer. A lot  more, actually: so much that some of it squished around the side and obstructed one of the panels from sliding. What that actually did was demonstrate how much air is leaking at the moment.

• Roomba's invisible barrier projector mysteriously burst in two, and warrants a bit of solder and epoxy.

First thing I did this morning was solder the wires into place and epoxy the housing back together. Roomba has direction again.

• Wolf Dog is running a two-walk deficit.

Solved with a brisk morning stroll, where I observed Giant House's progress:

Apologies for the low-quality photo. It still conveys how badly this house dwarfs at least one neighbor's.

Along the way, we saw the results of last week's high winds: sycamore bark lying around, looking as if each of these magnificent trees had been startled out of its wits:

• And, oh yes, the family needs its father for the weekend.

Fell short on that one. Squeeky took the kids to the Galleria to give me some working room. I'll make that up tomorrow.
