Good morning!!!!

[m7040]

Kilroy- I hope that get some relief tonight; Good luck.

The sun is starting to make its appearance this afternoon with brief periods of blue skies and/or sunshine. The current temperature is 51ºF which may become today's high temperature. I took advantage of the weather to vacuum the hair out the . It's futile, but the only alternative is to wear a full face respirator mask or a hazmat suit. At least he is "dry-mouthed" unlike our St. B.'s so I do not have to deal with drool stalactites or stalagmites.

I know what you mean about dog hair. Our Sheltie sheds hair and it turns into tumbleweeds no matter how much we brush him

Our very first boxer was an all white male. We also had a cadillac Deville from ‘94 until ‘98. With a rug over the back seat that was his car and he went most everywhere with us. When parked he would immediate jump into the driver seat. When we got rid of the caddy, (blown engine), there was enough white dog hair under the rear bench to weave a rug.

Cody did not know Kitty and his tendency to sleep with legs straight up.But he has adopted some of the same habits

 

[jbrumberg]

My background in "behavioral psychology" and my own ownership of 13 different dogs over the past 40+ years has led me to the belief that dogs have programed at least one humanoid and maybe even Wifey as to at least to feeding- "Is it 2 eggs over easy?" One never knows, I may need this skill in some roadside diner sometime in the future.

Good one Jay

We still find golden retriever hair from 13 years ago

Jay, our President of our company had a background in behavioral science and he changed a lot of processes to reflect that. A big departure from his dad and grandfathers approach. He is now retired after buying a 270 acres ranch at Montecito, Santa Barbara and letting his son run the company.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.6C and it's presently 15.2C, overcast and calm. Some rain is expected this arvo but the amount predicted constantly changes from a 'torrent' to a 'smattering'.

There's not much planned for the next few days so we'll see what 'comes up'... or not. I'll need to wash all of those new socks, though.

That's about it, take care all.

Poured first cup of coffee. 38° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 68° with mostly cunny skies. Grocery shopping went well. Got all that I wanted on list. Moved all the limbs to neighbors fire pile. Started it on fire. Did not take it long to burn down to ashes. Lots of smoke. Another neighbor could not get mower to start. When over and checked out why. Bad connection a battery. Cleaned up connectors and it started up without problems. Have a flat tire on my JD tire mower. Ordered new tube. Going to help another neighbor power wash house siding today. Then help another neighbor spread mulch. More seat time.
Only one Duck showing up at feeders and pond at a time. Must be some little ones at their nesting area.

Everyone one stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[KilroyJC]

Gilroy hope your Chiro appointment goes well and gets you some relief

I got some relief, but it has not gone completely away. I could get up from the office chair without using hands, but still could feel it with certain movements. Laying abed now, I would say I am looking at about a 40% improvement, so today will be an energy-conservation day.

it is still considerably Less sucky than this time yesterday!

good morning all
44 going up to 63 in fog and clouds this morning, more showers this afternoon.

have been having fun planning my next rv trip to Cedarville MI over July 4th.
Will be staying at Ron's home near Detroit thanks to his rv hookups on the way up and back, and then visiting with RS and wife
on way home. Until then, have a few minor things to get fixed on rv.
Sprayed the ground all around the parked rv with a mint bug spray, supposed to keep the ants away.

beautiful full moon last night

Kilroy, hope you feel better

Over the years, I have had momentary instances of shooting pain when over extending/exerting, but this is the first time I am having the cattleprod almost continuously being applied to my lumbar spine. Chiro visit helped a lot, but far from completely. PA trip may go on hold if it lasts through the weekend… yay.

Kilroy, hope you feel better

Thank you - I do feel better, even though I have a way to go to be full mobility and pain-free.

I know what you mean about dog hair. Our Sheltie sheds hair and it turns into tumbleweeds no matter how much we brush him

Remember: Dog Hair isn’t just a fashion accessory — it is also a condiment!

 

[KilroyJC]

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

41.5F, going to upper 60s.

Back still giving me grief, but not as bad as yesterday. Energy conservation day today, only thing officially scheduled is vet visit for Harry for final shots so he can go to Boot Camp.

I sorted through and disposed of unnecessary accumulated papers, and made the office somewhat presentable.

Yesterday was also the first sunny day that did not have howling p, gusty winds, so I (very delicately and deliberately ) inspected the two beehives, which are doing quite well, and added the second box to both of them. They had drawn out all but the end frames, and were well on their way to finishing them, and their was comb above the inner lid, with honey and larvae, so it was the right time. plus the mountain laurels are starting to bloom, which will give the bees an extremely close source of pollen and nectar while they start building out the next frames. Plus I will continue with sugar syrup feeding as needed, and give them beeswax shavings to speed up comb building.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy, safe, painless Blessed Friday!

I have a way to go to be full mobility and pain-free.

sure hope you make it.
I had to give up on that a long time ago.
Primary doc told me last week when looking at latest CT scan,
do you realize how bad your back is?

like Bill, I just try to keep on trucking...

no cartilage left, all bone on bone, you just try to tune out the discomfort.
not always easy, and constant pain can make you a grump...
so far I have avoided all opioids, that has always been my ongoing goal.
am thankful a heated mattress pad, my hot tub, etc has really worked to reduce symptoms.

most of us are not recliner types. We get out there instead of staying home and watching tv.
just each year there is so much more I just can't do any more. Humbling for sure. But not depressing, every day is a gift.

looks like a very pretty morning, clear blue sky

[KilroyJC]

Oh yeah - the spare tire mount for the quad should be ready today, so when I pick that up I can go across the street to the auto parts store and pick up some studs and lug nuts for it, and stop at the Post Office to send something Registered/Return Receipt.
