Mornin' gents. Prayers for your DW and wishing benign results, Sam. That has to be scary. Freezer failure sucks. Good luck with that, Bob. Sounds like a cool piano. Hope you make beaucoup bucks at the bizarre. Are you "Zillowing" Bill? Green Chili Pheasant Soup today. Dogs have been finding birds and my shotgun has been…

Mornin' BBB I've been tempted to watch Tulsa King. Grew up there. Had a nice day playing with the girls in the pheasant fields. Managed to dodge other hunters, thankfully. I wasn't feeling sociable. Green Chili Pheasant Soup today :) Gotta do recyclable duty today. Amazing how much I have generated all by myself. BBB OP ;-)

“Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.” – -Agnes Sligh Turnbull So very true. Thanks for all the condolences. Already picked up and delivered pheasant for morning stocking at nearby farm for my hunt club. I used to hunt there, but recently the cover is being eaten down by beef cows that the farmer runs in…

Mornin' BBB Just ordered a boat cover...old one was disintegrating. NOT cheap. Off to get my few remaining hairs cut. Cooler weather making me hungry for calorie dense food. Need to make some point friendly soup and stews. I'm thinking Green Chili Chicken Soup made with pheasant. BBB OP ;-)

Sad day yesterday. Put a littermate of my older dog to sleep. He had multiple problems, but his biggest problem was the female co-owner. She has significant mental issues and made up symptoms and insisted that they be treated. It was indeed his time, though. Meanwhile all the rest of the littermates are fine, including my…

Mornin' BBB So glad the cath procedure went well. Sure hope it does the trick. That and the Lipitor. I take the generic atorvastatin 20mg daily. My cholesterol was borderline and it brought it right down into the happy zone. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Good luck today, Skip. I'm on my 9th vehicle. First one was a "68 Camaro. Then I decided I was definitely a pickup guy. I need to be able to haul sh**. Been busy. Planning my road trip to Colorado. Gonna spend the 1st night in Indianapolis Dec 19th. Maybe coffee with my favorite Hoosier gal next morning? My…

Mornin' BBB Prayers for your DB, Lou. Welcome home. I wholly approve of the new whip, Skip. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents.

Not really hard to stick to WW, Sam. Just spending my points on red meat every once in a while. I can only eat so much chicken breast and eggs.

Mornin' BBB Thank you for your service and those in your family that served. So proud of DS#1. As a former National Guardsman, I feel like I only dipped my toe in. This weekend, I rubbed elbows with several who served in Vietnam and one that was awarded a Purple Heart and the Silver Star. Humbling for sure. Still basking…

KC Defense and Kelce did me a fantasy solid this weekend. Exciting finish to the game with another W for the Chiefs. I had plans yesterday to get a couple of things done, but my body said to take it easy, so I did. I did have a very mild elevation in body temp (99.5). I am wondering if I am fighting off something viral.…

Mornin' BBB I echo the thanks for sharing your trip photos, Lou. Simply fantastic. Lucy got some judge appreciation yesterday with a third placement. We accept! How did Santa photo op go with Tucker? I have this image of him leaning away from Santa and giving him the side eye. Pablo is a kibble grazer? BBB OP ;-)

So after I did the Capt Face Plant thing, I got to take a cold shower. Per the lady at the desk, the hot water has been off and on during the last week. :o But both girls had a good day. Lucy did a wee bit better than her mum with third place. Got home about 10:30 PM last night after having dinner with field trial friends.…

Well, just went down in the parking lot at my hotel. No clue what I tripped on. Half asleep taking pups out for first morning wee. Thankfully just injured my dignity and only the dogs witnessed my face plant. Waking up now with good coffee I brought with me. Wish us luck today. Snowing in Monument CO. Onward and downward…

Mornin' BBB Wow. Lou. Amazing. Love the selfie with Cecelia. Field trial this morning. BBB OP ;-)

Yes, very sorry to hear about the carotid plaque, Skip. Are they talking the roto rooter procedure?

I was a bit tardy with yesterday's Roll Call. I chimed in this am, LOL. So the specialty pharmacy texts me that my Skyrizi was shipped yesterday at 3:53 PM via Fed Ex to my home address. The only problem is no one will be here, and I was planning on leaving from work to travel to Easton PA for the field trial near there…

So I have spent the last two days talking to people that have brought up the election without actually admitting who I voted for and artfully guiding the conversation to non political issues. It has become a game. I have too many friends and clients in both camps to be anything but neutral. My big go to is the antiquated…

Mornin' BBB Quoting Mussolini? Is that because of the Museum walk was more like a death march? Venice and no boat taxies? I would blame the US Election. I looked up the way to spell the pleural of taxi. Either taxis or taxies. I would try that tiramisu, either one. Southampton England, Dennis? I do not believe any big…

Mornin' BBB I think the tombs of Michelangelo and Galileo were points of interest in the novel Angels and Demons, or one of that series of novels. Cool. That steak is magnificent. M has Ikea on speed dial for house in Colorado, the truck with the stuff we want to keep from CT will go when we empty the house for good in CT.…

Mornin' gents. Fat lady has sung. Hoping for the best. Going down rabbit holes on the internet is the modern version of getting bogged down with a good newspaper or a library full of good reference books. It's just a wee bit easier. I remember me dad spending almost the whole morning on Monday, he was busy on Sundays, with…

Mornin' BBB The big gal has sung. Thankfully no violence has been reported, yet. Lou, I didn't know you spoke good enough Italian to explain the US to cabbies. Is that lasagna? Safe travels home. Running a two and a half doctor practice with just one and half doctors is getting stressful. New full time doc doesn't start…

I guess the threat of violence at polling stations is suppose to deter people who would vote a certain way. Praying for a peaceful day, and people get to vote their conscience. Well, the Chiefs defense didn't dominate and Kelce was ho-hum, so I was humiliated on the fantasy football field. Bob, Colorado is definitely…

Mornin' BBB Interestingly enough, the election has really had minimal impact on my life. I do not watch live TV, so no commercials. I automatically block or report all things related to politics, so not even much on my social media. I made my decision and voted early last week. I routinely avoid crowds, and am constantly…

Mornin' gents. I need the Chief's defense to be dominant and Kelce to score like 3 touchdowns tonight to beat my fantasy opponent this week. C'mon Chiefs! Mike might have to change his online moniker to Piano Man. Nice to be asked to play. I gotta get moving. I have to see a man about a dog. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB I likes the Grenadier, but I can imagine the used car salesman from Tampa and that is something I abhor. Corns are very problematic and painful. Sorry you are dealing with that, Lou. LOVE the photos. Keep them coming. BBB OP ;-)

I misspoke. I meant the end of DST in the fall back to standard time. I do love DST from March to November since it does gives me more useful daylight hours here in the North East. I think I would have preferred it to end a wee bit sooner.

Mornin' BBB Glorious Lou. Sorry about the pain. Feet or back? I hear bourbon and beer is better for pain. Hope you are not sensitive to the sulfites in wine, if you are having wine with your pasta. DST! Took advantage and slept in. Dogs wanted to get up at regular time. Transported pheasant for early stocking, then drove M…

Mornin' gents. I have this vision of poor Frankie crossing her legs and tucking her tail. 3 AM wake up and then 3 plus hours of driving to and fro the airport and not near enough caffeine made for very sluggish day at the clinic. Got a quick lunch and some caffeine then traveled to a house call for a good friend. Lovely…
