At 4:00 today, I received an email with paperwork and a lease for #2. I filled it all out and dropped it off at the housing office 30 minutes before closing. I have a signed lease. I will pay them tomorrow and should get keys.

We were invited to the wedding rehearsal dinner tonight. It’s at an Irish pub with about 25 people. I’m on my second Guinness. Ordering fish (haddock) and chips for supper. Tomorrow at 9:00 is brunch with JtM and Silent Doug. Son of Parsnip is going golfing afterwards with Doug and members of the wedding party. Chill all day with the puppies then dinner with LAJ. Saturday chill until 3:00 then drive up to the wedding venue that starts at 4:00. Drive back to Virginia on Sunday.

Was mostly yanking on my arm...ok slow manipulation either way..distraction topic was donuts..there is a place called donut hut not far from my place..never been there but heard recently that they have good donuts..my PT detoured there to bring donuts to the secretaries this week...I may have to bring some to work one day. I got tears in my eyes..and not due to donut talk

Friday night...motorcycle shop party Saturday...I'm judging a motorcycle show Sunday....the American Legion post 149 fund raising. It the only day the across the street is open. Also on Sunday we will be loading up the motorhome because Monday morning we are leaving on a trip.

This was a golf day in Vegas but the hand kept me from all shots but putting. He gave me regulation greens and i had to putt from the fringe. At a buck a hole I only lost 9 bucks for the match. Now for a Garth Brooks concert and a late flight.

I am going to drive twenty minutes to practice giving Otto a syringe of sedating medication. We are practicing with chicken broth. I need to be able to get a very small amount of the real medicine between his check and gum on Tuesday. He tolerates it at home. Need to try the vet’s office. More about this later when I have time to explain.

All my number 2s are very short term. I am fine with this. Congrats.

The kids are having a garage/yard sale. I’m hoping to have nothing to do with it.

4/25/24. 51.3 miles on the group ride this morning. Also 2500 ft of elevation gain

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm kind of eager to see who shows up tomorrow!

Be careful what you wish for. Last week I wished Jax had someone to play with. Judie said one dog is enough. Then yesterday Oog showed up. We brought up Jax’s first crate and set it next to Jax’s new crate for Ogg to sleep in. This morning Judie and I were having some alone time when one of the doggos woke up and started to fuss. Then the other one started to bark. We hadn’t got up yet when we heard a third one join in from the back deck. I got dressed and tried to let Jax and Ogg out. Jax ran out and Blackie ran in, then Ogg ran out and Jax ran back in. This went on for quite awhile before I managed to get all three out and close the door. The three dogs ran and played like they had been raised together. I forgot to grab my phone so no photos yet. No we are not adopting Blackie. When I was talking to the neighbors yesterday one said he had a black and a brown pup. I showed him Ogg’s picture and he said that was not one of his.

I thought his name was Ciuch.

You have lost control of your vertical.

I just about had Judie convinced to keep Oggie and then blackie showed up and chaos ensued. Judie is looking to rehome Oogie. It’s anyone’s guess if she will succeed. I would like to keep him. He is adorable and makes me laugh. I just posted a video on FB.

Hang in there, Petite. It ends.

Yes, and it’s named thusly because of the large eye spots on its wings. 😊 I’ve held each of this moths. They are magnificent!

He’s got one. Look closer! 😁

Walk 2.7. 20 minutes on weights.

Whew!

The size of my hand.

Very little planned. A quiet weekend in the midst of several full ones. Taking a half day tomorrow. There’s an early morning bird watch Saturday I might go to. It would involve leaving around 6:45. Church on Sunday.

Tiger swallowtail. 😊 🦋

…how else would I have been made aware of this astounding truth?:

I drove the 2005 Prius 260K miles. I'll guess it's dead now. I know I don't get any notices for that car. I'll guess the 2001 Civic is dead now too. I only drive that car 128K. It was uncomfortable and the locking torque converter died at 125K.

What would Jobs do?

And battery tools do not need to be plugged into an outlet. This is some pretty profound shit, right here.

That is why they pass out balloons and helium canisters to the passengers to keep them busy inflating the balloons. Boeing recommended backup plan.

I don't see why. The aircraft should be a lot lighter.

It is so cute that they think this decision it is up to them!

DJI Manic 3 Pro *edit* I'm leaving the autocorrect, Manic<sic>, in place See below This

17.1 miles on the road bike. I could have ridden further, but when I reached down for my water bottle, it wasn't there for some reason.

I think LJ was jamming to some old Hippie music with the door open.

I suppose that could be done, too. That said, this was a pure convenience play. Next time I buy fresh, I may form and freeze a burger patty for comparison. It might take me a while to finish these burgers first, though. I finished round 2 just a couple of minutes ago. This time was largely improved from not too much overcooking, this one turned out 'medium'. A little more tweaking, and I think I will have it. I do think the convenience factor is very high, you don't have to go to the store and buy burger fixings when all you really want to do is quickly make and eat something substantial. Is it gourmet? Nope. Is fast and little fuss? Yes, and that convenience might be worth it for some of you bastards, you'd have to decide that for yourselves.

PERVERT!!! I bet you are the kind of guy that flies around with his drone looking for sunbathing chicks to perv on!

So it is agreed that you are taking/keeping Blackface Oog, LJ?

This is just silly talk. Three is just right! With only two, if Jax or Oog do not feel like playing or whatever then what? With three, at least two will always want to play or go for a walk, or chew up the furniture, or whatever.

I blame the feral cats, they told the dogs I’m an easy mark.

How do you think these dogs found you?

the naked old hippy with the three sloth dogs?

2.1 miles walking with WoJSTL.

Yesterday - 4 kms. walking & 3 kms- cycling

Fleet? No, I don't know anyone named Fleet. You say he is tall and thin and has long hair? Oh, you are looking for the crazy dog man. He lives down at the end of the street. Honk first though, as this will give him time to put on pants and round up his ever growing pack of dogs.

How about four? Mine is being a complete pain in the ass today.

#2 and keep looking....oh and see if they are hiring

#4 Live in a van down by the river

I dislike flying when there are a lot of deadlines involved - where I'm worried about getting home in time because i need to work tomorrow or I'm going to an event. I do like the idea of a flight being the start of an adventure, though.
