  1. Were in the pool today. We planned on everyone being here at the same time but John didn’t get up here from Georgia until Ben and his family had just left. Today we are going to try to get everyone here at the same time. I didn’t get any pictures of John’s kids in the pool because it was too dark. I did get Ben’s crew.

  2. Heading back from my parents this afternoon. On the way here Friday BuffCarla got an offer letter for a job. Turns out she starts tomorrow at 8:30. One and a half months of unemployment was enough for her. 2nd picture taken from the bedroom

  4. Wicked pissa. I love having the top down. We just went food shopping with it. Perfect morning, weather in about 70, a little cloudy. My wife has surprised me, she hates the wind, but will ask to go for a ride in it. I planned to stay home on Friday, she took my car to work and drove with the top down. It handles amazing, and is pretty peppy for a 6 cylinder. 320hp. Holds the road like it was one with it. The color is awesome.

  7. Soooo.... The dogs chased a toad under a bush. And Finn ate it before we could pull him away. Now he's foaming at the mouth and puking. All while trying to chase down another, larger toad. If he is still alive by the time our son picks him up it will be a miracle.

  11. I am actively trying to figure out how and when to get to Wisconsin to see my aunt and uncle. He is in his late 80’s or early 90’s and just had a shunt put in for a brain tumor. He was in the army and then a career marine physician. Brilliant man. I like these two a lot. He was a pediatrician in Green Bay for years. Now they live in the house he was born in which is in Grafton. Two years ago he was still in a soccer league. Last year he was cutting firewood.

  12. Always. As our family tends to be large get togethers, they are almost always in the summer and at the lake. Being East Coasters, it will be a pot luck and a good old fashion lobster boil where we will cook up to 100lbs of lobster in an afternoon, depending on the crowd. There will also be a supper of plank salmon anither night. Being such a big group, restaurants are out of the question as we can never get us all seated. It is so engrained in our family that my daughter wants her wedding reception this summer to resemble our family lobster dinner so her new in-laws can experience an east coast family feast

  16. My son John is going to meet his half sister and his birth mom for the first time today. He located them through a DNA test and a phone call. They have been talking on the phone for about six months. They will be coming over later for more pool time and get together with the cousins.

  18. While I was tinkering in the garage, Mrs calls me in a panic. Says Finn is no where to be found and must have escaped. I went to the back door and just called for him. He pokes his head around the seat like "Hi Gramps, whatcha need?" The hazards of having a dog the same color as the patio furniture I guess. Sorry for the highjack Air.

  19. This is why I banned the use of them when I managed a large corporate flight department. I made it a rule that rather than saying "no" or "can't", the Captains would have to find a better way to express it and offer a solution, when dealing with the passengers. The top brass didn't get to the top by accepting "no" as an answer. I always said "They are allergic to the "N" word.

  24. The bag problem is real. My problem is that I buy shiny new ones whenever I travel. His problem is that he keeps them forever. He has reusable bags from the 70s. They do not belong in his nice new car. We can use the older ones for clothing donations and such.

  31. I paid something like $8.88 at Walmart for a 4 oz. cannister of Aspercreme with Lidocaine Dry Spray for a lower backache that is diminishing as I get in ever-better shape, but still feels a little tight when I mow the lawn or take Jake for 2-3 mile walk. I think the stuff works, but you have to apply it 15 minutes before it kicks in. I'll report back after I finish mowing the lawn today - I'm doing it in 10-15 min. segments because of high heat and humidity. I sprayed it on my lower back at 2:20 pm and began mowing the lawn at 2:25 pm. I felt the usual back tightness right away and figured I should have sprayed it on earlier. The damn instructions want you to use it up quickly and say "spray 2-3 times per day." The only advanced spray advice I could find was for a lidocaine early-ejaculation preventer that says, " Using lidocaine spray for premature ejaculation is simple. Apply lidocaine delay spray to the underside of the head and shaft of your penis 10 to 15 minutes before sex." I'll bet that also applies to when you have no muscular pain until exercise. So I see how it works the rest of today. I also hope to walk Jake 2-3 miles and do a short (5 miles or so) mountain bike ride during the week and I'll also use it then.

  36. Yep. Remove the screws and slide it out. Where the water supply hose attaches (normally a 90 degree fitting) is where most leaks occur but how old are we talking? A water supply leak would be constant though, not just when using the D/W. I have done kitchen Renos where the case itself is corroded through. The pump is also a common leak as is the drain hose. Easy stuff. 9 times out of 10, you will be off to the appliance store shopping for a dishwasher though. It just makes economic sense.

  37. Beatles will always be studied, they present a nice compact portion of music history. Simple early banal stuff about holding hands, but well executed. The move to more exciting and diverse topics, then other textures and experimenting. The Beatles moved the needle, and were kings of their time. Good tunes, interesting personalities, strange times socially, clear progression, developed depth, they had it all. Yeah, kids will be forced to learn about dinosaur bands, then grudgingly like some of it, then like it more and more. Beatles are an easy case study, they changed music history.

  41. More from the 4th. As a little history, the city gives us free use of the Community Center (typically reserved for $150/day) for photo club meetings and in return, we support city activities such as 4th of July Fireworks, making the photos available to the public. I won't post pictures of kids on rides, but parents know how to get the photos. Gives us access to genre of photography (events in this case) that normally would not do, and special permissions such setting up past the police line for an open direct view and away from the parking lot lights where the public was.
