Formula for a pretty darn good Fourth of July @ the Parker-Parker House of Rolls

Here's the formula for pretty much a picture-perfect day in the Parker-Parker house of Rolls.
1) Sleep in. Himself slept until about 11:30am, I slept until 12:30pm. Seriously. I NEVER sleep that late. Guess I needed it.
2) Pancakes and coffee. Yum!
3) Very light running of errands - grocery store to get more vinegar to use for dyeing, and hardware store to pick up some Plasti-Dip/tool dip to finish off the ends of steel boning. Side note - those who use the stuff, how the HELL do you keep it from drying out once you open it? I've tried saran wrap plus the cap, foil plus the cap... and I can't keep it from drying out. Pointers appreciated.
4) Dog park! We packed Bodhi into the car and went over to the dog park. We ended up hanging out there for 3-4 hours, just watching the dogs romp around and chatting with a very friendly group of short-dog owners. Lots of beagles and bassets and the like. Bodhi fit right in. :) One of the ladies broke out a bottle of wine, and we had a lovely afternoon chatting dogs and other random bits. Exchanged cell numbers so we can keep each other updated when we're going to be dog parking, because us short-stack dog people have to stick together. ;)
5) Study time! I spent about an hour at the dog park off in a corner, tackling my reading for school for next week. Granted, I would have preferred not to have to do the reading, but in the grand scheme things, sitting under a shade tree to do my homework with tons of dogs romping around like idiots really doesn't suck. I think I might end up doing that more often.
(Side note: Drea? Helwynn? Charlotte? We should totally dog park sometime. :) Personally, I think dog parking combined with SCA handwork is a win-win-win situation all around. :)
6) Hot dogs (Snoopys!) and ice cream (Goodberrys!) for dinner. YUM.
7) We bought a small bag of assorted fireworks, and then set them off once it got dark. Most of them were silly little sparkly things, but there were a couple of pretty impressive fountains in the mix. It was just enough to keep us happy. :)
8) Dyeing! I put more stuff in the dyepot. Desperately need to photograph all the stuff I already have done. Maybe tomorrow, if I can get my reading done first.
YAY! Hope everyone else had a great day. :)
