So sorry my friend.

Labs make such great family members.
It is a shame they can't be with us longer.
But, they will be there to greet us with their normal joyfulness, when our time comes to cross that river.
Sorry for your loss...
My best,
Blair

Just realized it's my nephews birthday and remembering the one 25 years ago when we dropped the kids off at the party and went and got Midnite.
Rowdy just got a treat.
-
Sorry for your loss,Slim. I know how it feels. At least you had 16 years :'( :(
-
Also sorry , I feel the pain ....
Jake has to go to the Vet Thursday , he has small bump on his head about the size of an Aspirin.
My daughter a Vet in training , thinks it should be looked at, and she works at the Vet Hospital where she's taking him....
We want to be sure it's benign.

Sorry to hear of your friends crossing, Buck and Slim; It's not an easy thing, no matter how many times you go through it.
Thanks for the memories, Del; I've put what seems like a million miles under my wheels in my lifetime, a great many of them accompanied by Tom T. Hall and his music and stories. That one is one of my all time favorites.
-
Howdy y'all. I got the pot on for you early risers.
Sorry to hear about your dogs, gents. I too am familiar with the situation.
Well, the "S-word" hit Californee yesterday. About an hour of it, though none stuck. temperatures were in the 10s for most nights since the last time i was here. Tonight is supposed to be warmer at 25. :-\
Anyway, just thought I'd poke my head in, remind you that I'm still kicking.

I'll start the pots heating ;)
In the 30's and damp here. Still dark ::)
-
I’m so sorry for the loss you both have suffered. I have suffered for every friend I have had to be the care giver for and recipient of their affection over the years.
A roast is in the crock-pot preparing to be chimies and burritos for supper tonight.
Cloudy right now and about 50. Tomorrow is a 90% chance of rain or snow or both.
-
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your pets/friends Buck and Slim. May the memories be eternal.

A cool and crisp 41 this morning. Thanks for the coffee, I could use it.
-
Major 2, I just had mine pumped out on Monday. ::)
-
Got the last of the light posts put in today, was pretty chilly doing it, too. At least the ground was still pretty soft. ::)
-
Been sitting here watchin’ a mass of leaves go blowing by in the street in the front of the house. Our street ends at the cross street on the side of our house with houses privacy fences and garages lined up facing the oncoming wind (20 mph gusts to 50+). Went out and looked to see what was happening to all the leaves, but they seem to just disappear at the end of our street.
Waiting now for the rain and snow to slip over the hill and start getting us wet.
The neighbor across the street has inflatable yard decorations (a Santa, Snoopy and a penguin). They are deflated and staked down quite well, but they are definitely getting whacked up and down on the lawn.
-
Major 2, I just had mine pumped out on Monday. ::)
Must be a Major event ;) for us...
They say my drain field needs attention ( might cost $4500 + ) they said that last time 4 years ago...
lets see I pump it for $250 in OH say every 3-4 years ....or spend $4500 + maybe pump it out in 5
I said " see you in 3 years " ;D

Slept in today. Not sure what I'm going to get into today ::)
-
Got a tenderloin for New Year’s Eve. It was so big I cut six steak off it and still have enough for the Beef Wellington on New Year’s. Going to grill up two of the steaks for supper tonight, to test out the meat.
The wife is busy making Fairy Food. Don’t know what else it’s called, but it involves Kayro syrup, baking soda, vinegar and whatever else, heated to a precise temp. Poured into a baking pan and allowed to foam up. Then it cools it gets broken into pieces and coated with chocolate. The smell of boiling vinegar has permeated the house. :P :P If the weather were a little better Jake the cat and I would have retired to the great outdoors ‘til the house airs out.
-
Can't stand hot vinegar myself,Rus-T :P But I have to put up with it to clean out my coffee maker every few months.
We brought our little girl's ashes home last night. They're on the top shelf of the bookcase now along with her collar and tags. I really miss that tap on my leg when she had to go out :-\
-
:'(

I'll stir the coals and put the pots on ;)
Woke up hacking again, couldn't get back to sleep. 29 and dark here ::)

60° & Foggy.... Topping out at about 74°
-
Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. We are finally drying out and the Sun is out.
-
The weather is still holding on the warm and windy side. Did the last round (I hope) of foliage recovery yesterday. Filled seven more garden bags with pine needles and leaves. The trees are lookin’ naked enough now that we should be done for the year.
The steaks cut from the tenderloin came out great! Very tender and tasty. One more cooking day for me (Wednesday) before I ship the wife off to Wisconsin for Christmas. Then I’m on my own for a while. It’ll include my required trip to Outback Steakhouse while she’s gone.
-
We managed to get to 50 today. Stayed sunny for most of it. ::)
-
Weather was OK , considering the fog we started with ....as the day went on , I slid under it :-\
the Grip is back, Cough, sinuses, headache, generally BLAH !

Maj 2
Slather yourself in bear grease (don’t know how easy it is to get in Florida), roll up in a yellow wool blanket, and hope no one tries to turn you into a burrito until the contagion passes. ::) ;D ;D
Hope this doesn’t last too long!
-
Can't get back to sleep, so I guess I'll put the pots on the fire!
-
I'll start the pots. ;)
36 and dark here. Guessers are saying top temps in the 40's. We're working on getting the barn/storage area straightened up. What a dusty poopie mess! Hope it doesn't cause a flair-up with this dang sinus stuff :P

Got up early to ship the wife off to Wisconsin for Christmas. She’s on her way and somewhere over Iowa right now. Haven’t decided what to do for sustenance tonight. The cats and I are on nap alert right now!
-
I got my HO set put up around the tree today. Had to let it run for quite a while to get it running smoothly. Had the G scale out last week, but it had problems again. Wish I could've gotten it running :-\
-
Hey y'all.
I've been a little distant here, but I have finals this week/next week, so those have been taking precedence. Got the first couple out of the way, now just two more and I'm on to Christmas vacation.

I'll start the pots goin' ;)
49 and dark here. Guess we're in for a warm spell so they tell us. Got several appointments today ::)
-
thanks...need some
-
Got about 2”of wet sloppy white stuff last night. Got out and cleared the driveway so the folks coming to remove the sleeper sofa from the den and the love seat from the living room can get up to the door. The pine tree in the back has enough snow that it has developed the droops on a couple of boughs that are blocking my way to the grill. Need to take care of them so I can grill my tenderloin steak for supper tonight.
-
I slept in this morning. I think that finished off the last of the Cawffee. The temps got up to the low 70s yesterday. Warm for this time of year. I had some toast this morning. No clue for lunch today, or supper tonight.
-
Last day of 60 here.
-
we had 62 yesterday and 58 today,warmest Dec I can remember in a long time.
-
Still dark outside (except for all the Christmas lights I put up), but I’ll put the coffee and water on for the early risers.
-
just chugged the last 1/4 cup coffee in the pot....a tad cool but was OK .
Craziest wonderful dream ...jotted down some notes so I may not forget it :-\ though it is fading already .

I had some toast and Cawffee for a late breakfast. I skipped lunch. Moose is out on the town. I hope that she does some grocery shopping. I'm waiting on the rain to start. The house is dark, Victoria and I are planning on a nap.
-
We got to 67 today,but had light showers at times. Ran around some today looking at the Humane Society and the Tusc. County pound. Thought maybe we could find a deserving pup to fill a void in our hearts. Alas, the one we thought might be deserving was adopted by someone else and the other lead( long coat black and tan dachsy) turned out to be an 8 year old bonded pair which we could only have taken one and couldn't be separated :-\
-
Changed the oil and oil filter in the Caravan. Trimmed horse hooves.
Went to the Christmas program at church tonight.
Slim
-
Gave the X-over a MUCH needed bath , errands run, lunch @ Firehouse .... stopped by the Toy Store (FFL)

-
Rain here today-was sunny for the last several days while I worked, now I'm off for 2 days and.....
Power went off at noon due to some big transmission line problem, right at the end of Church, we were warned ahead of time because one of the members is a lineman. Still off when we got home. Rope on the generator broke on the third pull. Fished it out, got generator started with the short rope. Came back in the house to find the power back on. Make mental note to get new rope for the generator.
-
The rain has let up for awhile, not a good day to be outside. Moose has gone for the grocery run. I'm thinking about zapping a couple of pizza slices for a late afternoon snack.
-
39 and raining here, may have snow by morning.

I'll start the pots ;)
57 and dark here. Guesser's are saying about 60 today with rain ::)

Thanks for the Cawffee. It looks like we are done with the rain for awhile.
-
The rain lasted most of yesterday, but then things cooled off and it turned to sn*w. Only got about an inch or so, but we’re not supposed to break freezing until Wednesday, so I guess we’re stuck with it for a while.
-
No real rain here so far, just occasional "misting rain" but quite a bit cooler. Fired up the Farmall A and cut a wagon load of wood, will do another if the rain stays away.
-
Looks like we are blessed with some good weather for this week, with a cool snap (as much as we ever get) coming around Thursday.
-
43 degrees today with rain. 4 inches over the last two days and now we're looking at flooding. This is DECEMBER - Right?!?!?

Hello All.
We got some fluffy white stuff falling from the sky here today, and over the weekend. Beyond that, nothing that interesting going on.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. It is cloudy and overcast. I need to rustle up some grub this morning.

Well,Susie found a deserving little girl. A little pekinese mix that needed a new home. Blond, 7 months old. She's fixed and chipped, and approximately the same size as our long coat dachsy. Named Chloe. We now have to get the dachsy to accept her. Not going well at the moment, but the other two have no problem with her, though. Don't know if she barks yet, haven't heard a peep out of her ::)
-
Hey y'all.
Almost done with final exams! Just two more days, and I'm off until the 19 of January.
Weather update: Chilly with a chance of cold. Depending on who you listen to, it's supposed to get down around 0 next week, with negatives up north by the lake(opposite of the lake effect. All the cold air from the alps runs down the valleys and gullies, and collects in the town of Trinity Center. When Weaverville has 2-3" of evil stuff, they typically are working on 5+ feet), and on top of the mountains. Looking at some precipitation at the same time. Could get fun. :-\

No coffee. grumble, grumble, there, I made a pot.

I knew if I waited long enough somebody would put on a pot.

Break it to him slowly so if he does make it to the muster next year it won't be quite as bag of a shock. ;)
-
I do look forward to the Muster...which reminds me...I need to send in my registration!!
-
Sorry,I forgot :-\
Been busy doing other things. Got the filters and canister washed out for the vacuum. Hopefully it brings the suction back up, otherwise new filters will be in order. The new little girl is working out pretty good so far. Little did the wife know, though, that she picked out a Daddy's girl. Sticks to me like glue. Our female dachsy is still being a pain about it ::)
-

Yeah, if it fills you'll be out of luck, but I won't, somebody else I know or would like to know will get yer place. ;D

Hey y'all,
I'm pretty much done with school until after the turn of the half-decade(yes, I'm poking fun at the "youthfully challenged" there.). One more assignment tomorrow, and I'm a free man. I do have two essays (standard 3-page MLAs) to finish before January 12, but those are for scholarships, not grading. ;)
Another bit of excitement is a surprise visit from my grandmother. She was supposed to be here Saturday, but showed up randomly today while we were eating lunch. So my mother took off with her, and left my two younger siblings with me to go to the school Christmas party, and drive home from the city. Got interesting going over the mountain in 30 foot visibility...
And the final (perhaps most interesting) piece of information I have is that I sold my 1911. I took a loss on it. but only about $100. So the money from that is being put toward a new S&W M60 PS. I'll work the rest off over the next month. (did I mention that I've started working at a gun shop?)
--TK

No, you didn't,TK ;D
I'll start the pots so's the Cosie won't get grumpy( fat chance) ;D ;) ::)

Another lab, Slim? ::)

Getting packed and ready to turn over cat care to our house sitter in the morning. Heading off to Wisconsin to join the wife and her family for Christmas. It looks like Milwaukee will be about 10 degrees warmer than Reno for the next week. A balmy 40 rather the 30s here.
-
Hey y'all.
I'm set free of education now! Until January that is.
Got a bit of white stuff today, though pretty much only while we were cutting a Christmas tree... Naturally.
Going to be setting it up tomorrow.
--TK

Well, I’ve turned over house sitting duties, and waiting for the cab to show up. I’ll put the pots on for everyone. Taking the laptop, but not sure how often I’ll find a wi-fi hot spot (no car to go to the library while I’m back there).
So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Pots still on, made a fresh pot, got a cup, wicked old slave driver in this sewing sweatshop gave me a coffee break. ;D
Doing the machine sewing on 21 quilted Christmas stockings for presents. Got her a good one, I can sew them faster than she can pin them and a lot faster than she can sew them on her machine. LOL, she don't think she has ever done her's, I clean and lube mine after 3-4 hours running time, guess I should do that for her tomorrow.
-
Yeah, if it fills you'll be out of luck, but I won't, somebody else I know or would like to know will get yer place. ;D
Is that to imply you'd rather another get the spot!
Gee, I missed doing registration again this weekend. Too much Ho, Ho, OH NO! shopping going on this weekend for me.

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.
On vacation this week. Doing to a neighbor's house this afternoon to fix computers.

No never, but I always like everyone that shows up, so if you snooze you lose. ;)
-
That seems like a heck of a combination,Slim ;D
Our new one is doing pretty good, Slim. house breaking is a bit of a problem yet, but she's just a little love button. The dachsy has relented some, but when it comes to food, all bets are off. ::) :(
-
Cleaned and lubed both machines today.
How redneck is a Sears Craftsman sewing box, moving it to a larger one when this project is done. ;D
Pay back later, gathering material for some new shirts, she will cut and pin and I sew, should be able to whip some out pretty quickly.
-
Bullet is house broken, but sometimes he gets excited and has an accident. ::)
He was quartering this morn on our walk tracking something.
Mother-in-law has a black Singer like that.

Ours is having somewhat of a problem with the water switch,I think. Somewhat runny. Or, the pain pills the vet sent home with her might be the problem too. She sticks to me like glue. This evening when I took Sandy's senior citizen girl out, Chloe followed me right out the door. Luckily she stopped right in front of me when she got to the grass :o ::)
-
I'll start the pots ;)
57 and rain here, still dark. All 4 dogs have been out. we have a grand over night and the new girl does have a bark. Barked at the grand 5 or six times yesterday evening ::)

Christmas gifts that is, Rita did the quilting and pinning, I just sewed them all together. They are lined, I went through about 400 yards of thread, about 2/3 rds of 2 spools. Works good that way, i keep my main sewing machine tuned and lubed well and can really turn stuff out if she does the prep. I guess our dining room is Rita's sweatshop.
My project was to did all the cast iron I've collected over the years for cheap or free and clean it up and season it. My daughters and SD, 2 nephews and a niece get to take turns picking what the want, need to sort more in the cupboard and figure out what I'm actually keeping. Got two 15" skillets, two 12" chicken fryers, 3 stove top dutch ovens, sauce pans with lids and bread pans, none in the picture that ain't going out of my kitchen. Will likely keep 3-4 of the smaller skillets.
-
Those stockings look great,Del ;)
I'll start the pots. It's 51 and damp here. Two out of four have been out. ::)

Worked on putting in a storm door on the front of the house. Need to finish this morn before the rain starts.

I got the night-watch covered!
We got the evil white stuff a couple days ago, about three inches. It disappeared this afternoon. We're expecting about 3-10 more inches tonight (so much for accuracy of the weather service). That's about the extent of the weather in my neck of the woods.
Y'all have a good Christmas.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. I had to make a surgical strike to the grocery store for some last minute items. Congrats to Slim and Buck on their puppies. The temps around here have been in the 70s for the last week. Moose and I bought each other new phones for Christmas yesterday. They had a promo for an I-Pad Mini for $99, so we got her one. We had a nice lunch together, bought Tamales, and got Ham and Turkey for Christmas Dinner. It was a full day. It is time for Victoria and I to have a nap.

We stayed in the 50's today. Our Christmas is going to be tempered with the loss of another one of the dogs I'm afraid. Cissy the oldest dog here, is passing blood and has lost control of her bowels. She's about 18 :( :'(

Got me one of them tablet things for Christmas, won't even think of giving up my desktop (SIL tuned it up last night) Will use it in camp for radar, but love it at home, cheaper than a radio anymore and I can do Pandora, listening to Old Crow Medicine as I type on my desk top, got it on the Guy Clark Channel. LOL
Desk top don't have good volume. Also if I get a bunch of windows open doing research Pandora slows it down.

If the rain eased up a bit, it might be raining cats and dogs. As it is, more like raining cows and horses. Water over the road all over the place.
Wife's got a tablet she uses more than the laptop. She uses it for music, but downloads, not streaming. When you use satellite for internet, streaming anything will eat your data up! If you want to get better sound quality than the tablet speaker gives, you can get one of those small wireless speakers to go with it. Sound's better that way.

WI Fi at home and have a bunch on the card I had for the phone. May get one of those speakers, but with my ears it ain't a big deal.

The worst missed us, saying 2-4 now.

Made it back from Milwaukee without a hitch. The weather was very unseasonal (rain Monday and Wednesday, temps in the mid to upper 40's all week). America Airlines got me there and back in fine shape (don’t know what United might have done to me).
Got back to a layer of snow and temperatures hovering right above and below freezing. Still managed to grill some chicken outside last night. The house/cat sitter kept everything together quite well.
I had cleared out the old furniture in prep for delivery of our new sectional, and now they are pushing out the delivery date from the purchase date by about 9 weeks. Told the wife I won’t go near an Ashley store for the rest of my life. Oh well!

Somebody's inventory computer really goofed,Russ-T :o
In the 30's with a right cold rain :P Got myself pretty damp doing rounds this morning. ::)
Got Cissy interred at our oldest boy's place Saturday. Finally hit the SIL yesterday after she backed off the new meds VA put her on. The new pup is getting to be quite a character. Helped me fold clothes yesterday( snitched my socks). Have decided that the pound didn't really know what she was. Believe now that she's a Lhasa mix, mixed with what don't know. ::)Her new alias is PP( Pound Puppy) ;D
