Paddy is in and out so often during the day that I have to set the timer to remind me to call him in. Sometimes, it's five minutes, but when it's in the thirties, he can have more time. But, twice today I forgot him. He just sits on the picnic table and surveys his territory. He's fuzzy enough that he's safe.
I spent nearly all day tightening the language of the two day hike chapter and then printed it. It was more time than I planned, but I like the changes. The "the" count started at 610 and I reduced it to 560! It may seem trivial, but it forces me to cut extraneous prepositional phrases and other useless words. Then, I started the four day hike chapter. It requires a lot of editing and will probably take a full week. The last time it was edited was in January 2013.
