Cat Alarms & Climbing Walls

Didn't update my Portland family portraits so that will have to wait a few weeks. 

Ryan & Judy have an alarm system but it is pretty low tech. None of those pressure sensitive mats at the windows, just pressure sensitive cats. 

Strategically placed to trigger the alarm should pressure be detected. 

We got the climbing wall done; except for the gripping rocks, which the play ground  store had, once again, none. 
Still needs one more board and the knotted rope.

Teri gets back from LA tonight. Always a good place to get back from; I'm sure she will be unwinding for a while. 

Not a cloud here, light breeze and high of  93 today. Guess I'll hide out inside till the afternoon. 

Stay cool.
