Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 17, 2020

Attaboy, Carl. Every little bit helps. Use it or lose it.

Personally, I would have put more effort into making the chair level.

Yes Carl, you have to earn the right to sit down.

It would appear Carl has plenty of free time on his hands.

So that’s how American Ninja Warrior got started. I always wondered. I expect Carl to add to this obstacle course as time goes along and his skills increase.

The quarantine has finally Gotten to Carl. Hmmm, I wonder if I have enough lumber under the house….

And before one you asks, I’m speaking metaphorically of course.

Handrails, Carl. More handrails. You’re not a Flying Wallenda.

I think it’s a great idea.

Should have faced the chair toward the steps…he could just fall into the chair with hardly any effort at all…..(eye roll).

I assume Carl goes back the way he came, or is that just TOO much effort?

This would be a great idea for me. I live in Florida and keep reading “easy health tips” that include “just take a few extra trios up and down your stairs.” We don’t have a lot of those. I have one step come into my house. (No I’m no really planning this.)

He calls it his 17-Step Program…

Carl.. a keen observer of nature has noted how happy his gerbil is. He considered, but gave up on the idea of an exercise wheel and went for the chair instead.

My favorite chair is my sofa.

Four steps up and ten steps down??

Three weeks later, his wife is complaining about the dead grass trail from the door to the chair.

Carl has strange ideas.
