Took Coco for a long birthday hike and swim yesterday. She turned 6. Then decided to take it mostly easy and play frisbee and dokken.
…………………………
Wishing you many many more trips around the sun Coco.

RNG, I had to go back to see what everyone was talking about with incline. Somehow that did not show up on my iPad. Very steep. What is building for next to house. Shop?

That's an office trailer I purchased almost ten years ago as "temporary" storage, Ron. It's mostly full of Vanagon camper parts, and stuff being kept on hand because of the "never throw anything away" creed I try to adhere to.:laughing:

Epidural on neck finally scheduled for this Friday, having challenges getting a ride, they won't let me drive home. Calling around, hope someone is available. They don't allow cabs either. Earliest time I can get consult with neurosurgeon for lower back is April 1. Things sure move slowly here. Meanwhile I am working on finding the surgeon who did my neck surgery at U.Penn 10 years ago. That hospital is probably my first choice for serious surgery. I want to hear what the local guys says but will likely hunt down my own doc. Epidural doc not critical, not much downside there, but lower back surgery has some risk to it. Which is why when I go up to PA in a few weeks, one of my stops there is at local Quaker continuing care facility, my Plan B if surgery does not go well.

My how life can change rapidly...just trying to be prepared for Plan A and Plan B.

Hope that procedure brings relief, Drew, and I really appreciate the difficulty in getting rides. I was able to convince the surgeon that did my last one to keep me in the hospital an extra day until I could drive myself home, but that's not an option for most outpatient procedures. I've been tempted to round up a street person and give 'em fifty bux to come and spring me next time...:confused2:

Good Morning!!!! 60F @ 5:30AM. Abundant sunshine. High 77F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.

Managed to piece together a plumber's nightmare of electrical conduit fittings yesterday and end up with something I hope will reach past the upper terrace from the generator pad. It's about 30' long, and when I tried to move it into position after gluing the last 10' section of conduit in place, the glue let go and that section came off. It was past time for lunch anyway, so I glued it again and just left it alone for overnight, so fingers crossed it doesn't come out again. I was happy and more than a little relieved that the propane line was still holding pressure when I checked. In fact, it even gained a few PSI as the day warmed.:dance1:

Picked up more propane pipe and PVC couplers in town yesterday, hopefully all that's needed to complete the projects. But plumbing jobs never quite go the way you plan. My record is 11 trips to the hardware store over one weekend when I ran black iron for compressed air lines at the last home...

Drew .. hope you're able to get a ride to your procedure. No cabs?
Choice number one too busy, second choice, even better, because he will absolutely show up on time, which
female number one never does...my fireman next door neighbor, luckily, is off that morning. Yeah.
Rick, cab drivers won't sit in waiting room, which is required, so they are prohibited. Whoever brings you must sit there the whole time.
You can clearly see whose time is valued, and it sure isn't mine...Over last 10+ years, have had a dozen of these, all with
good results, but too bad numbing effect doesn't last longer than 6-9 months. They won't do my lower back at same time, plus said everything was so jammed in there they weren't sure that lumbar injection could be done without some pain. Fluid has to go somewhere...

Rain has stopped, headed downtown to pay my bill at hot tub place for new insulated cover, then to food store to get the things I forgot the first time.

39°F and light rain this morning, dropping through the day to 30° this evening. Rain is supposed to change over to snow around 7-ish tonight, and fall into tomorrow. 0-3" accumulation predicted.

Ron, one of the main reasons my Wife prefers to train at the home is that she gets to see how the dogs (and owners) react in their own comfortable environment. I think you and Sassy will benefit much more from in-home training than from just going to a big pet store group session.

11 trips, RNG? I don't feel so bad now. I hate plumbing jobs. Nothing ever goes as planned. Nothing. Half-a-dozen trips to the store is not uncommon for me either.
