Mornin' BBB Yep, tracking works. Good job Lou and Steph. I told a fellow sexagenarian veterinarian about my upcoming gig in Colorado Springs, he's retired, and he told me I was prostituting myself (I should retire and do volunteer work). I thought it was an odd comment, then I thought if it was true, then I'm just a…

Muggy 66 degrees. Icky, but not as bad as Steve's heat. Hope you are feeling better, Steve. I feel like dermatologists think they have to do something, so they zap you with the liquid nitrogen. Work and dog training has me hopping. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' gents

Mornin' BBB Oy. Tales from the scales. Hang in there Kelly. I got an NSV this weekend. A fellow trialer mentioned how much thinner I appeared. The dark side of the NSV is that I re-gained the weight in the first place, but it was encouraging. Hot and humid here. Glad work has AC. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Whoa, where did the weekend go. Got lost in doggy stuff. My field trial club sponsored a hunt test this weekend and I was supervising BAL's hookup with a very impressive stud dog. Hopefully there will be a puppy for me to take to Colorado in January. I will need to catch up on posts later. Nose to the…

Whew. My past few days have been very intense, but enjoyable. Rolling out of bed and getting caffeinated while I have a short phone call with M, then dealing with dogs and other non work related responsibilities, then either going to work or working at the two day hunt test my club sponsored this weekend. My younger dog…

"The whining is a behavior". Yep. Glad you found a sitter. Congrats on the cruise.

Mornin' BBB Yup, it has been insane since I got home Saturday night. Good to be home with my girls, though. I missed them. Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Laddy. We took him to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to feed the giraffes, because we couldn't get in to tour NORAD. Traveling is exhausting. Great to hear the…

Just caught up reading all the posts since Saturday…after getting home Saturday night, I have been super busy with various things, but especially with the vet clinic that I just signed an offer with this AM. I will be working 3 - 10 hour days (30 hrs is considered full time) at a practice where they have all the surgery…

Mornin' BBB Dropping M off for routine colonoscopy soon. Tough situation with Sam's DMIL and Kelly's neighbor. Really sorry about the Leo situation, Lou. Sins of the previous owner. What about the boot camp people? Praying the old trees survive. Tomorrow is DGS's 2nd b-day. Small celebration today, big kid's party…

Mornin' gents. Both my interviews went well yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised with the VCA hospitals. My experience with VCA in CT has not been the best. I will interview at another hospital today and drop off my resume' at a couple of others. M has a colonoscopy this am. Dropping her off at 6:30 Mountain time and…

Got hearing test done by a very competent gentleman. Glad M talked me into it. Got a set of good quality hearing aids. Lucid 64 channel. Wore them the rest of the day and no one even noticed. Lessened my tinnitis almost immediately. Purchased an rechargeable electric weed whacker for the house. Grass grows only in the…

Mornin' BBB Ha! Funny about pool guests. In Colorado with M now. Feels good. Recruiters are hounding me. I'm not crazy about the opportunities being offered, but I have consented to an interview this Thursday at a VCA pratice. I really do not want to sign any contracts with a corporate practice. But, I will do the…

Mornin' gents. In Colorado with M. High 80's here, but very dry. Sweat just evaporates as it is produced. Much more tolerable than Florida. DGS is awesome. DS#1 and DDIL are a little stressed out with their jobs and DS#1's looming deployment. Glad we are here for DDIL and DGS. Hearing test (per M's insistence before buying…

Mornin' BBB Jacksonville has been H.O.T. Heat indexes over 106 every day. Never cools off at night. Even the hotel pool is like bathwater warm at first light when I've done lap swimming. Can' imagine living here without AC. That was a good price on a whole beef tenderloin, how did it eat? I'm looking forward to grilling…

I've been enjoying swimming laps at the hotel pool here in Atlantic Beach FL. I will miss it. Although, the turns have been a little much for my recent knee replacement. The thrusting has caused significant soreness and swelling. It is a relatively short pool, so lots of turns in a 45 minute session. That is what ice packs…

Mornin' BBB "Dr. appt. with urologist this morning. That's my weak link." 😆 Boarding plane to Dulles then to Jacksonville. The word is that it is hot in Florida. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Waiting to board my first plane. Great news about the truck! I have heard mixed reviews about air fryers, but I'm sure you have a good one. Glorious photo, Mike. Stay cool, everyone. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Sorry been MIA. Glad you are feeling better, Steph. DGK was running such a high fever they had to take him to ER. He is better now. Heading down to Jacksonville on Thursday to see my sisters for a few days and then over to Colorado for a week. I wonder if Gary will wish he hadn't retired when the honey-do list…

Mornin' gents. Once again, I've been delinquent. My personal computer time is usually in the early am and those times have been disrupted the last few days due phone calls with M mostly, but Monday got an emergency call to do a c-section. Yesterday putting together a new business card. Have I mentioned that I will really…

Mornin' BBB Yes, finally, the Yankees won a game. M is the real Yankees fan, I am just a fan by marriage. They need to make up some lost ground to be in the playoffs at this point. Worked like a dog yesterday. We were all kind of worn out at the end of the day. I would like to decompress today, but too much to do to…

Mornin' gents. Glad it was just a black snake and not venomous. We old farts should not move so suddenly or quickly. I remember going to the range with my boys to sight in their .308s before deer season about 15 yrs ago and the two stations to our left were occupied by two young fellas that had just purchased twin .270s…

Mornin' BBB No three S's, Sam? Heat and humidity has broken. Thank you, Great Spirit/Mother Nature/God, whichever you prefer. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Working for a living... Sweated my tookus off yesterday doing yard work. Thankfully, the heat and humidity has gone away. Gave away my inflatable to a young couple who love fishing yesterday. It was a fun boat, but it ain't making the trip to CO. Photo is from 2013. I had to replace the actual inflatable…

Mornin' gents. That is brutal, Steve, about the rain, but especially about your truck. No way you could find a salvaged transmission and have the guy work on it when he can to save you some $$$? Mid 80's here, but max humidity. Yuck. Great to hear that Ortho doc likes your progress, Sam. Love to hear Joanne is doing better…

Mornin' BBB Day off…working on a plan. Sounds like you and Carrie have a plan, Skip. Does Tucker approve? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Congrats on the baby girl, Mary! DELMARVA is a 3 hour commute to DC? Just googled Pocomoke City to DC, almost 3 hours. So good to hear Joanne is healing. How is Hannah feeling today? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. MIA due to being busy at work. Mea Culpa. Congrats on being such a loser, Bill! Woo Hoo! Great photos, Dave and Mike. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could figure out why I cannot get the MFP app to allow me to post photos anymore. I have allowed permissions. Not sure why all of a sudden a few weeks ago I can…

Up early to go fishing. Thanks for the tips on Pods vs the U-haul options, Bill. I will check into U-haul today. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Up early to go fishing. BBB OP ;-)
