Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 15, 2018

I like the way every part of the broken deck railing is accounted for – but not Steve. He left his pipe and paper, and went into the abyss.

I think we can assume that Steve was not using any sort of yardstick during his most recent attempt.

Unfortunately that is a Gorse bush and Steve will be picking briars out of inconvenient places for the next few days.

Steve has left the porch.

“Measuring distances.”

Is that what they’re calling it these days?

If you’re gunna run with the big dogs….

…and Scooter there is laughing !

That left Steve railing about the rail.

He must have wen’t over backward.. his pipe is still there.

…and to add more misery, Steve will be attempting a lot of measuring in the near future when he attempts to repair the railing! ;o}

Normally, steve just sits on the porch and barks. Lord knows what he said in " dog" Which must have caused Tempest to but the bite on him.

Steve’s first day with bifocals.

Steve obviously has trouble with planning.. first up then… forward. Or.. use the gate.

On balance, Steve hasn’t got any…

The chair cushion goosed him.

Am I the only guy who gets the urge to do a one and a half gainer off the porch?

Oh, dear! Steve’s gone off the rails again.
