Mornin' gents. 7 degrees here this AM. Better than -7º. Ice fisherman will benefit in February as the temperatures turn a bit milder. I saw were the Seahawks are losing Pete Carroll to the Raiders. Carroll has long been one of my favorite head coaches, and him going to the Raiders is almost as concerning as going to the…

Mornin' gents. Steve, you posted like 2 sec before I did. So I posted under your start and then discovered you deleted. Low sodium cooking is challenging. LOTS of garlic, peppers, and curries. Mike, I take hydrochlorthiazide daily to help with lower leg edema from insufficient venous return. Not sure how it came up I…

Mornin' gents. Steve, you posted like 2 sec before I did. Not sure how it came up I wasn't feeling well. I'm fine, left shoulder is a wee bit sore from getting my flu shot way late but before I go in for knee replacement. "Golden Trowel" LOL. That was indeed a cold ride, Bob. I did a slow cooker gumbo with chukar…

Warming up to a 5º wakeup. Getting used to wearing insulated coveralls. Too cold for dog training. So I will do household stuff and grocery stuff today. Any word on DMIL? So good of Joanne's doc to see DMIL instead. I love my crockpot. M calls it one pot slop whenever I cook with it. I call it delicious. I usually can make…

Mornin' BBB (((Leo))) That had to be tough, Dave. Cool shot of the snowy hood, Dennis. You have a drone? I have definitely strained the intercostal muscles coughing or sneezing. Hurts like a mofo. Warming up here. 5º this morning. Hope DMIL got in to see a Doctor. DGS is keeping M on her toes. He has had an ear ache and so…

Mornin' gents. -7º this morning. Ugh. Warmer temps on the horizon. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Hope Skipper is shaking off the flu bug. I imagine there was some strong memories and feelings yesterday, Dave. -7º here. Yikes. Today is supposed to be the end of the polar vortex. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Brutal cold snap after light snow. It was -2º when I let the dogs out, it is a balmy 2º now that the sun is up. I wish I was in Costa Rica right now. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. -2º here this morning. The girls went out and then I brought them back in. We'll go back out when the sun comes up. Might hit 19º today. Had a Cubano sandwich from a local deli yesterday. I charged myself 25 pts. Good thing I had made a zero point chicken and bean soup this weekend to heat up for dinner. Hot…

Mornin' BBB Gotta gear up and ride the tractor to move the 5" of snow we got overnight. 12º and windy, so it will be no picnic out there. Dogs just ran into the barn into their heated kennels when I let 'em out. Two good games in the snow yesterday. I think the Eagles and Bills definitely had the advantage in that kind of…

Mornin' gents. 12° and 5 inches here. Gotta get out and start moving it soon. Got the snowthrower on the tractor just in time. Even remembered to put the chains on the back tires. Actually watched a wee bit of football yesterday. Both games were in the snow. Classic. Onward an downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Commanders win! Hot, hot, hot team. Chiefs survive. Rained last night, gonna hit 40 here then the big chill and some snow is coming tonight. BBB OP ;-)

Steve's Chiefs survive the Texans. Did the refs give the Chiefs a hand? Commanders upset the Lions. Did I watch a game? No. Got the low down from Yahoo Sports. I vow to do better today. So glad Joanne was feeling better yesterday. How was dinner? I would miss spicy dishes, and maybe a little of the greasy, like brisket, or…

Mornin' BBB Winter storm coming...rain tonight, snow tomorrow. Gotta get the sno-thrower on my tractor today. Tractor has been in the shop. 2002 model...needed new head gasket. Still runs like a deere. Some good football this weekend. Might have to actually sit still long enough to watch a game. BBB OP ;-)

Warming up for a couple of days, then deep freeze coming. Might get a bit of snow tomorrow. Rain this afternoon. Chinese noodles (traditional) are not point friendly. Someone put a couple of spicey ramen type noodle packs in my Christmas stocking. I checked the points for just the noodles, 14 points. No thank you, they…

Mornin' gents. Deep freeze coming our way too. Ugh. There was a time I would welcome all that winter could throw at me. Happy belated Birthday Joanne! DMIL story was classic DMIL. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Yep, luved me sum Bob Uecker. Always made me smile, and often guffaw. Very sorry to hear the headaches persist. There has got to be an answer and solution. I forget, have you tried acupuncture? I'm not a big whammy jammy guy, but I've seen acupuncture work wonders with dogs and people. Hope Riley can find a…

Mornin' gents. Great news about Collin! New crowns take some getting used to. If they can grind it to help it meet up with other teeth better, then I'm guessing it is not gold. Back to dog training this morning...got a trial in Tennessee first week of February. Dinner out last night. Would have rather stayed home. Onward…

Mornin' BBB I never logged on yesterday. Did I miss anything? "You're a stubborn little man aren't you?" Leo is a Shih Tzu. Bred to look cute and do what they want. Very mediocre food at a pretentious restaurant last night. I'll NOT be bach. Back to training with the Greek this morning. Meet with my knee surgeon this…

Thanks. Got super busy and never checked in yesterday. Another trip around the sun completed.

I hope I'm not moving out before January 2026. I have committed to work at the practice until then. Mary, you are so right, $$$ talks. Kelly, those kind of horror stories are unfortunately too common when selling a house. Yikes. We will make sure that the buyer does their due diligence.

Be careful in the snow. I feel it is a bit ironic that there is snow and near zero temps in the midwest and there is bare ground and a lot of open water on lake and ponds. Prayers for those undergoing treatment, especially Joanne. Fitbit tells me that I'm 100% ready for the day. I'm feeling pretty good, but don't jinx me.…

Mornin' BBB Looks like we have a buyer for CT house. My practice manager, her husband and 7 year old daughter, love the place and we can avoid the cost of a realtor, thus making the purchase price 6% less than fair market value. It is almost too good to be true, because it is a perfect property for them, and less stress…

Mornin' BBB Redskins! I have been assured that folks west of the Blue Ridge still call the team by the original moniker. "Doink you very much" was one of the sports headlines this morning. Won the game by a field goal that doinked in off the up right goal post. Funny, I used to hate the Redskins because I was a Cowboy's…

Mornin' gents. DDIL swears the kid will be a veterinarian. I imagine he'll enjoy hunting too, but he'll for sure enjoy working with spaniels. Can you play Piano Man, Mike? I don't think Billy Joel knows the intricacies of the piano like you do. The internal workings of the piano are much more complicated than I ever knew.…

Mornin' gents. DGS with his nanny dog. Taken yesterday morning before the final vet visit. Hoo-boy :'( Bob, I am sure EVERYBODY knows you. You are an icon. Cleaning day. Then a young couple with young daughter coming over this afternoon to look at the property. She is my practice manager and the hope is we can sell to her…

Mornin' BBB So did you guys drive to Costa Rica, Steph? Definitely a bucket list destination for me. Today is cleaning day and then friends over for cocktails and dinner. Probably won't get to watch any football. Got all the mail from Post Office that they held while I was away. Huge bundle, some professional magazines and…

Mornin' BBB Werking today. Getting a dusting right now. I'm just happy the wind died down. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Today would be a good day to fish the hard water, I imagine. Not that it would ever be on my agenda, but maybe for Mike. I am working this morning, then I plan on doing some training with the girls this afternoon. Sad day for DDIL. Her 12 yr old great dane mix has reached her expiration date. A vet that…

Mornin' BBB Good luck to Skip. Good luck to Kris. Prayers for Joanne. R knee looks real ugly of xray. Date set for Feb 17th. BBB OP ;-)
