Wandering down the street.

Are you watching? I have never watched the Grammys. I think I will tonight Best contemporary Christian music performance/song.

Well today, it finally happened. I had to squish Ylva's brains. I also steam rolled her during our nap today. It was fun! Naturally this should be a somber moment with deep inner reflection but I find myself oddly satisfied. I really truly enjoyed the experience. Don't worry folks, Ylva is safe and she is currently playing with one of the cats. But she's like ten times more smarter now after "The Squishering". Also to note, Ylva barked at a plastic bag that was swimming through the breeze today. She's absolutely brilliant. She's the smartest dog in Rochester Proper. Couch

Beautiful sunrise this morning.

On the way to church. She just discovered these photos on her phone.

We had a dog that everything had to be normal. If my in-laws were coming and my wife moved her car from where she normally parks and parked it further away so her mom and dad wouldn't have to walk as far the dog wouldn't stop barking at that car being in the wrong place. He also barked at a Mylar helium balloon that drifted in from who knows where and got caught in one of our rose of Sharon bushes. And oh my if I put on a balaclava to work outside in the cold, this dog wanted to eat me. I would take off the mask and talk to the dog and he calmed down, as soon as I put it back on with him watching me he would go ballistic again.

I hope not because I don't even know what the acronym stands for but maybe that means the answer is yes.

Not sure. I am thinking within the next 7 years. I was talking to a co-worker about the idea of a kiosk replacing me. Some of the questions that I get are quite complex. The human element is not easy to replace. By the time this could come online, I should already be out the door. 4 years, 3 months and 5 days. Not that I am counting or anything.

He donated blood every week for 60 years and saved the lives of 2.4 million babies

I didn't catch the father's shoes part. I just thought you were being cheap as usual. I apologize now.

What a sweet story, Wilbur. It's funny the memories that certain items can bring back. When my nephew graduated from college he wore a tie that my Dad always used to wear on special occasions and it was really nice to see it again.

I bet he was running to the store for milk and bread.

To give you a serious answer, I like winter. I can't imagine living somewhere that doesn't have snow for a good part of the year. Today I rode my fatbike in a national forest and nordic skied in a national park. Tomorrow I might downhill ski at the #1 ski resort in the country. I can do this all winter long, not just occasionally while on vacation. In the warmer months, I can roll out my front door to mt bike trail one block away. I ride my road bike to two national parks. During the month of April, the park is ours exclusively. No cars. Climbing, hiking, biking, skiing are hard to beat here. How often do you get to do these things? Living in suburbia would drive me crazy. To each his own, but being close to a Costco does nothing for me.

Music? You can thank me later, and be sure to tune in to Lonnie Bell Country Classics from 9:00am - 12 noon MST Sunday morning. The show is hosted by Ed McEntire, one of the local weathermen in Billings. You might even hear me make a request.

I just made cabbage and then shredded in a couple beers and carrots. Sautéed in olive oil. Piece of pork tenderloin is in the oven.

So I went to church this AM and the snow just came down..big flakes almost a white out..just on the drive into church...So 90 minutes...maybe and I cleared off a good inch or so of snow from my car....Then it was off to Planet Fitness..still snowing steadily but the flakes had gotten just a tad smaller. Did 16 minutes on the treadmill and then a modified weight workout...2 sets and I left a couple of things off..but I added a couple from our last workout Felt pretty darn good.... I am hoping our big snows and interruptions to my workout are done for the season..but hey I think I have had a good rest. Snow continues to fall....this is the "Sunday Storm"...must be about 4 inches....who knows if Tuesday will bring 6 or 10 We have gone from being below average...to normal or even above in the last 2 weeks.

Ok. A sister sent me a videoclip last wk. It was a 9 yr. old nephew playing guitar in a coffeehouse trio folk song performance with 2 other guys in their 40's. I had no clue he was playing guitar. Lots of things happen in a family especially when they live far away.

Update: I ordered the Breezer Doppler Team from Bike Nashbar. It was 10% off. Looks like BN is closing down. I also tried to buy some water bottle cages but the web site doesn't list them or much of anything else except for a few bikes.

I mostly smoke pipe tobacco now. Even though you no longer smoke, I can imagine you smoking a pipe. I don't know why I think that, I just do. Couch

She's not Jewish, Wilbur. She's an idiot. I don't know why AWWC likes to Jewish up things that are clearly not Jewish. The boy has severe mental issues, I suppose. And he's not Jewish either. Please don't let him fool you. He's good people though. He's just more than mildly crazy. But like I mentioned before, he's good. Mostly. Couch

My Mom really likes pitbulls and she called me this morning telling me I had to find the news article about Sadie the hero pitbull. Sadie sure is cute. I thought you might like the story too. https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/02/07/hero-dog-save-owner-gas-leak/

He seemed to be coming from DQ. I bet there was a stash of dilly bars and buster bars on his back. Everyone, even moose, loves the deliciousness of a buster bar!

I bought Ylva a watch with diamonds.

I think that with a bit more development Bison- Drive will put E-Bike to shame

I took a pair of my fathers shoes he had when I was a kid. Some really nice dimpled leather Imperials. Full wing bluchers from Florsheim. Back in the days when Florsheim made nice shoes for the masses. I had them resoled and they came out pretty nice. I almost don't want to wear them.

I had to take nanna’s Place this morning. After I cooked her breakfast I packed a snack bag for the six grandkids and headed of to pick up the girls for church. Nana always brings old smart phones and tablets for the girls to play games on the way to church. I brought the devices but waited for them to ask for them before passing them out. They never asked. Instead I got to listen to them sing all the way to church. They take after their mom and dad and are very good singers.

Ours is waiting until Tuesday, to mess up another week of snow. I am waiting for Death Jim aka @BuffJim to confirm.

I will be meeting with two Senators from NY to discuss the crisis in early intervention services for preschoolers with disabilities. The 13th which is my birthday, I will be doing the same thing in Albany. I don't love any of it.

Tektro are great if you don't reallllly need to stop.

It’s like déjà vu all over again. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded. Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six. The future ain’t what it used to be.

It's that Peter Graves distinguished look you guys have got going on. They just don;t hear you talking aboot Gladiator movies in the cockpit or checking oot the girlie magazines at the airport newstand.

We have some sound bar sonos thing. I can listen

They're probably too busy writing thank you notes.

I can listen to the station on my Amazon Echo. Alexa, play KGHL. Unfortunately, I will be visiting MomKirby and working tomorrow, so I fear I won't hear the show.

I had a pair of hiking boots that the sole blew out..I went to a repair place and the guy explained that the man made materials in hiking boots and athletic shoes breaks down over a few years...I had the hiking boots for probably 6 or 8 years..and they were expensive...but the repair guy said not worth the expense...due to the material breakdown...which I am guessing what happened with your Nikes..... Leather soles ...sweet...

I have a pair of cowboy boots that have been resoled several times. I'm the third generation to wear them.

Yes?

It is always 1975 in my life Dear Kirby.

We live in sad times. Back in the 70's, if RG found himself in this position, he'd form a band in his parent's carriage house. Write a few pop tunes, go on Dick Clark, make a quick million. Much like Sugarloaf.

Elk. Lots of them.

Resole, since I wear braces and have custom boots; I don't have what you would consider nice shoes and my running shoe days are over. I was wearing shoes made by Drew, but something changed in the manufacturing process, and the boot maker's glue would no longer work for reattaching soles to the shoes. In time the whole sole started coming apart.

Over parts of 18 seasons with the Yankees, Berra won 10 World Series rings: More than any other baseball player in history. He won three more championships as a coach, and made an astonishing 21 total World Series appearances as a player, coach or manager.Sep 23, 2015

I trust you will now like my Sugarloaf video?

I worry a lot about RG. Not about mental stability or anything. He has that in spades. Really a rock solid and fun guy. He is having more than his share of challenges right now and I wish I could step in and make his problems go away. He needs a job, needs cash, and probably needs to get out of NYC for a sanity break and breathing space.

Apparently the 2,500 purse that led to the $900 revenge bike resulted in a revenge - revenge purchase of a $500 matching wallet for the purse. Looks like she’s up by $2K so yeah he’s next.

Don't you have like twenty kids and fifty grandkids who could take care of this for you???? Or at least some Amish neighbor wanting to trade his work effort for a chance to watch an hour of TV in your den?

Asheville, North Carolina.

Taking BuffCarla to a swanky restaurant. We're going Tuesday as Thursday will be a zoo, and we don't like zoos. Flowers, a card - the whole nine yards.

Heck no..he is married..and at 37..young enough to be my kid...we are not dating..but we are "seeing each other"...and at least one of us gets hot and sweaty
