Mike, if the swelling and fatigue persist, you should see your doctor. That could be a circulation problem or even clots in your lower legs. I do not like being an alarmist, but lower leg pain and swelling could be dangerous. Fitbit says I was awake for 90 minutes during my sleep last night with no deep sleep at all.…

Mornin' BBB. Glad I'm not having Christmas in Florida. It is going to be so cold that the iguanas will fall out of the trees. It is supposed to rain up to 2 inches in CT starting Thursday night into Friday. Ugh. Then the deep freeze and light snow. This will create a lot of ice hidden by snow on the ground. Treacherous for…

I remember when my DW's colorist blamed our well water for the green tint when she had been getting her hair routinely colored for years prior and we had the same water. We put a special head on our shower to chelate out the copper which was supposedly the culprit to no avail. DW quit getting her hair colored and just…

Mornin' BBB. You and the other guy in the photo looked pretty cold, Skip. Shame you won't have room for your 'Vette at your new place. Winter definitely has arrived. Good call on the laptop, Dennis. That was a good deal, Steph. Hate to overpay for anything. Horrible about the fire, Sam. Hope there is support for DS and his…

Mornin' gents. Happy belated birthday, Mike. Sounds like you have some serious bragging rights on those grand kids. Love hearing about them. Your talents know no bounds. Song writing too? That is buttasscold, Steve. When it is that cold, you must have some warmer humid air moving in to give you a decent snow. Your…

Evenin ' BBB Wow. Bizarre that this happened so soon after the other multi dog incident. People are idiots. Good for Sassy. I wonder if pepper spray might be more effective than your shillelagh, and less offensive to stupid people. BBB OP ;-)

Evenin' gents

Dave, thank you for sharing you concern about depression. Really sorry to hear you are struggling. I know very little about diagnosing and treating depression, but I feel like you are a pretty logical guy and if you think you are depressed then you probably are and the sooner you deal with it the better. Obviously there…

Super Congrats Mary! Exciting! I have been kinda sitting on that kind of news for our family as well. Was waiting until the first trimester but what the heck, #bunintheoven Dental is pretty pricey, getting that way for pets as well. Lou, that monopoly game wins Xmas.

Fun hunt with girls yesterday morning now that 2022 trialing season is over. They had fun and wanted to do more, but after 90 minutes I was pretty fatigued. I suck. I did traipse about 4 miles over hill and dale during that time, but still, I suck. Due for my Skyrizi injection today. It generally causes fatigue for a day…

Mornin' BBB. So good to hear that it appears that this last procedure seems to have done the trick, Skip. That has got to be a huge relief. You and Tucker should go Tik Tok. I find phone stuff irritating. Sometimes I just wish we, as a society, would disconnect. But then we would not be able to post here and have this…

Mornin' BBB. Worshipful Master. Sounds like a fancy name for more responsibility. Hope it is a position that you will enjoy, Sam. Am always the eleventh hour with Christmas. Oy. Still frozen here. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. A functional hot tub being matained and not being used? Is it the time factor? I've been delinquent posting. Sunday swapped the mowing deck off my wee tractor for the snow thrower. That is always a bit off an operation involving me getting up and down on the cold hard ground multiple times. Aggravated lots…

Mornin' BBB. Home from a multi field trial trip through NY and PA. Lucy , after winning her first trial, had the puppy yips. Babe put in solid performances both days, but no ribbon love. The girls sit in their crates on comfy mats when not running. Got tired of dog hair and muddy paws and being harassed for attention with…

Mornin' gents. I was just discussing this with my sister who lives in a retirement community down in Jacksonville, FL. Her cable service is pretty horrible so I suggested getting a firestick or hulu or the like. She will probably have to pay for local sports (she loves UF football), but she won't have to deal with a cable…

Afternoon BBB Warming in truck while we wait to see if Babe gets called back to the ribbon round. Lucy put on her naughty girl pants today and did not even finish the first series. Thought I warn you about getting COVID and shingles togrther, Skip. When I did that, it kicked my backside for almost two weeks. And I hadn't…

Afternoon gents. Freezing my cajones off in Canesteo NY. Trying to warm up in the truck while the judges decide on call backs. Glad Tricia is working out for you, Steve TV systems these days can be challenging if the are using a firestick or the like. Hope the pain management doc can make a good tweak on your current…

Mornin' gents

Mornin ' BBB Waiting for BTG to open gate to training area. Heading straight to Finger Lakes region of New York after training to a trial tomorrow and then from there to a trial in Altoona PA on Saturday. Thanks for the start, Lou. BBB OP ;-)

Congrats Dennis!

Mornin' BBB. National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Nuff said. I imagine COVID is making your recovery much more uncomfortable than normal, Skip. Good of you to help Carrie. Glad you are getting rest, don't forget to keep hydrated. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Pearl Harbor Day. Almost a death blow to the US pacific theater presence. Hopefully this will not trigger any Asian hate events. I would argue that a fitbit or its equivalent, not only measures steps but also monitors heart rate and sleep. So a person like Sam, who is uber active, would be able to tell if…

Mornin' BBB O'dark thirty. Miss it when dawn broke at 5 am. Warmish and misty here. Rain later. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Good you are making the progress with your backlog, Steve. One man can only do so much, but a good man can do a lot, and a good leader can move mountains. Good old St Nick. Someone told me that 3600 steps or more a day helps prevent dementia. Sounds like you do at least triple that daily with your hiking,…

Cold with no breeze. Nice day at hunt club pot luck. Got in some wingshooting and some good training for the girls for the upcoming trials this weekend. Saw a few diehard bicyclists out yesterday in the cold wind. Those people did not look like they were enjoying themselves. Studded bicycle tires makes me smile. That is…

Mornin' BBB. Looks like a nice spot, Skip. Will you still have to commute to DC office? Cold this am. Nice day at hunt club pot luck. Got to hunt over other guy's dogs, had lunch, then went out and did some training with the girls. I don't hunt over the girls just before a trial because sometimes hunting behavior will…

Mornin ' BBB Here's hoping Skip is in his own bed with Tucker tucked in. Nice sunny day, but cold. Pot luck lunch at the local hunt club. Dogs are itching to play. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Happy Birthday Bill! Good news about your MRI. Congrats to your DGS, Mike. That is a very good game. How many people were watching in the rain? Very sad about the snakes, Sam. Do you know if it was the anticoagulant type of bait or the bromethalin? Sunny cold day on tap here. Drying out from yesterday's…

We have stations outside the house and sheds, and inside the house and sheds. Its a next generation anticoagulant that is safer for predators that might eat a poisoned mouse. Plus it has a antidote, whereas the bromethalin has no antidote.

Mornin' BBB. Atta boy, Skip. Dang COVID. Glad they went ahead and surgicated. Hope you feel more comfortable soon. How's the jello? Savannah is a great place to visit, Dennis. Just got me wee boat back from getting winterized. Now to cover it and tuck it away. Rain and wind this am, so am drinking lots of joe and clickety…
