Afternoon gents. Strawberry rhubarb. Kaluah chocolate chip pecan pie. Mixed berry pie. Ran the dogs this weekend. No love from the judges. Sometimes I think I need a new game to play. Onward and downward ;-)

Good afternoon BBB Tough trial weekend. I could not convince either judge either day that either of my dogs deserved a ribbon. How is the graduate doing? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Medicare sign up stuff arrived yesterday. (( sigh )) Hoping Joanne is back home. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Praying for the news that Joanne is OK and can go home. Naps are healthy, in my opinion. If you need one, and have the time, take it! Obviously, the quality and quantity of your overnight sleep will have an influence on your need for one. Even when I'm at work, if I've had a rough night, a 10 minute power…

Mornin' gents. (((Joanne))) M is recovering from some kind of Colorado daycare upper respiratory bug. She is usually pretty resistant, but it got here this time. DGS seems to be sick more than he feels good as a result of going to daycare. Pediatricians say this is normal for the first 6-12 months, but I say that maybe we…

Mornin' BBB (((Joanne))) Pulmonary embolisms are scary stuff. "Hoe"? Dog training canceled today because our fearless leader has a dog at home having puppies. I will have to train solo today. That is OK, and probably a good thing. I can reinforce obedience before going into the trial this weekend. Last training session,…

Mornin' BBB Fingers crossed, Skip. BBB OP ;-)

I was reading that Larson won the NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway yesterday. I thought of my friend Steve who lives just south of there, thinking it must have been a noisy day. Yesterday was fairly productive for me. I got a fair amount of things done around the house, including a nap and some play time with the dogs. I…

Very proud of Leo and his reluctant masters.

Happy Mother's Day BBB Glorious day here. How is Joanne feeling? How is your DBIL, Kelly? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Glorious day here. So good to hear Joanne is home. Prayers continue for her and her one armed nurse. Enjoy the day with your favorite mother if you can, and give remembrance to those in absentia. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB I thought you'd maybe do the professorial thing and help shape young minds, instead of the office thing, Skip. Either way, best of luck. Hope there will be video of your oratory efforts. Prayers for Joanne and Kelly's DBIL. BBB OP ;-)

Afternoon BBB We have an American Pope. Who woulda thunk? Hannah is one fine looking hound. Prayers for Joanne and Kelly's DBIL. Amputation is radical, but prostheses and rehab have come a long way. BBB OP ;-)

Afternoon gents. Dog training this am. Grocery shopping on the way home, then stopped by DMV to get duplicate registrations and stickers for my boats that I some how lost. Probably got thrown out with junk mail when sorting. Anyway, you can't just walk in anymore, it is all by appointment and the first appointment is June…

Afternoon BBB

Mornin' gents

Mornin' gents. The spots on the fins identify it as a Northern Pike. I didn't messure the length, but am guessing 20 + inches. That would be a monster pickerel. The lake I was fishing used to be managed for pike, but I guess the powers that be decided that the population was doing a good enough job propagating itself, so…

Afternoon gents. The nicest one of a few takers this am. Nice little pike. Very cool about the song, Mike. I'd love to see your lyics. Wish I could say I was productive this weekend, but I can't. But I did catch a few fishies, and confirmed that my outboard is running as it should. Onward and downward ;-)

Afternoon BBB Good race indeed. Fun to watch. No $$$ on it. Got boat wet. Running very well. Now just need to degrunge it from when it was sitting in mechanic's shop yard. Caught a little pike, I would like to post the photo but somehow I cant get permission. I used to but not since they updated the site. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB " I hate being alone." So Tucker is chopped liver? Not working, so off to train dogs with BTG. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Great sib pic. No obvious resemblance there 😉 Great day dog training yesterday. Then grabbed a couple of steaks and salad fixings and went over to cook dinner for a bachelor food critic buddy who just had shoulder surgery. One steak was from Aldi's and one was from a local butcher. The prime cut from the…

Sorry to hear about Heather being in a bad "pain season". Somehow I missed that she had chronic pain too. The pro mowers around here tend to mow unless it is a straight up deluge. My biggest problem is getting my guy to mow high, sometimes they forget because the next door neighbor they also mow for likes it low and it…

Mornin' BBB Who is doing the doctoral research presentation? Good to hear the last interview was encouraging. Didn't Dennis used to work for IBM? Happy belated ….wait, wrong Sam. So sorry about your Emmaus group member, Dennis. Those dermatologists, alway digging deeper. Cecelia could be right about the sandbagging. Since…

Sam Threewood has a Japanese Chin, maybe Leo would enjoy a playdate.

Mornin' gents. Am guessing today is really Monday. "Dew hampers"? Is that when the overnight dew fall hampers cutting the lawn in the morning before it dries off? Yup, rarely see 80 degrees this time of year in New England. Got cold and windy yesterday and I felt the crud coming on that has been making the rounds at work,…

Mornin' gents. Beautiful day. Lots to do. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Drying out from rainy Saturday. Chomping at the bit to get going on the day. Buddy dropped in last night from VT. His kid has a lacrosse match in Middletown, so I invited him to use our guest room. Pizza and non alcholic IPAs (he is sober). Good company. BBB OP ;-)

Looks like it came out perfect. Yum!

Mornin' BBB Love the Lexus. My Saturday off and its raining. This means I have to do housework. I swear, I gotta get a cleaning person. I just hate doing vacuuming and dusting and mopping. I enjoy being orderly, and cleaning up after myself in the kitchen and bathroom is automatic, and making the bed and laundry is oddly…

Mornin' gents. Meant to mention yesterday that I read about the hiker mom that fell to her death at Purgatory Chasm in Massachusetts. Isn't that an area that you go hiking, Mike? Really bizarre accident. Its raining here all day, of course, its my Saturday off. I'll probably get to the lake and swim the dogs, and I might…
