Mornin' gents. So sorry to hear your mum's passing, Bill. Safe travels. I should arrive home before the snow tomorrow night, but we're not expecting 8" like Mike. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Lucy is PMS-ing, I think. Can't think of another reason why she would blow up two days in a row. She came into these trials as one of the dogs to beat, but she beat herself. Babe is running great...hopefully she'll get called back to vie for a ribbon. Gotta start my trek home tonight. Would love to get home in…

Well? Inquiring minds wanna know how you answered critical email, Skip. Leo is probably back to normal and Lou is cleansed and rehydrating with bourbon. I vote for Vina del Mar. But I like solitude. Hall of Fame I was a bust for Team Sarah Jane, today we start HOF II. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB 60° here in Grand Junction, TN. Much nicer than cold and snow in New England. Twas a long drive though. Happy belated Anniversary Kelly and Gary. BBB OP ;-)

Buckeye Chuck did not see his shadow. Fingers crossed. I guess Punxsutawney Phil has such a horrible track record, 39% accuracy, we are relying on Buckeye Chuck, 75% prediction accuracy.

Mornin' BBB Sunny here. Punxsutawney Phil will likely see his shadow. Ugh. On the road again. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Punxsutawney Phil will likely see his shadow in about 15 min, meaning 6 more weeks of winter. Ugh. Getting caffeinated, clean house, and hit the road. Onward and downward ;-)

Good afternoon. Funny how kids develop differently. DGS turns 18 months old tomorrow, and is not very verbal. He is mostly monosyllabic with the occasional phrase, but is physically advanced. Wisconsin has a very good veterinary college, it is relatively young, but has a great reputaion in the veterinary community.…

Afternoon gents. Trained girls this am. Now home and prepping for trip to Tennessee tomorrow. Gonna be gone a week. 1 1/2 days down, two trials back to back, and then back home. Trying a slow cooker mushroom brown rice recipe to use up shiitake mushrooms I bought the other day thinking I would use them in a pheasant dish…

Mornin' gents. Me girls let me sleep in today. Nice. Its supposed to be a pretty yucky day with freezing rain all day. I hit four different grocers yesterday looking for fresh or frozen shucked oysters. Nope. I settled for salmon fillet on the grill. Onward and downward ;-)

Alas, no oysters to be found. Another day. I have heard of mushroom tea, and even drank some once a very long time ago in my experimental phase. It made the people's faces in the room move around like they were made of silly putty.

Mornin' BBB So very tragic. It was the first thing I saw when I logged on. Hope all feeling cruddy are feeling better. There is a photo of Joanne and a grand daughter who shaved her head in support on Facebook. Lovely. Sounds like Lou and Leo are going to be post anesthetic cuddle buddies. Security had to escort fired…

Mornin' gents. LOL...Dave I like your envisioning of me. We tend to be pretty frugal, I hope to earn enough in "retirement" to pay for my field trial habit. Hope the creeping crud is better today. I was wondering if your new team of docs were picking up where the old team left off, Bill. Sounds like you have that well…

Dave that sounds very similar to the recipe I use for my white chili. I wish I had pablanos in the freezer, but I have used and/or given away all the ones I grew this year, the canned green chilis suffice. Mupiricin is good stuff, Bob. How is her finger? Stiches? My sister had radiation after she had a mass in her lower…

Mornin' BBB I saw that about the buyout for retirement for federal employees on the news this morning. Somehow, I'm not surprised. Caroline Kennedy posted a video about her cuz RFK Jr. Yikes. The Circus continues with a brand new cast. Good luck to Riley on sale of house. I bet you were looking forward to hosting a…

Afternoon gents

Afternoon BBB You all are a funny bunch.

Chiefs and Eagles in the Superbowl. Deja vu. Sorry to hear that the GI issues are still plaguing you, Bill. That has to be frustrating. Made a white bean chicken chili last night using chukar partridge breasts and legs. Simple recipe that I have made multiple times before. Good eats and point friendly. Onward and downward…

Mornin' BBB Monday, Monday... Next year for the Washington Football Club. Feel asleep before end of Chiefs/Bills game. Looks like I missed the best part of the game. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB I can hear "Wasting away in Margaritaville" playing in that photo. Where are the limes? Those look like fried plantains, but not sure what is in the cup, refried black beans? No skin in either game, but plan on watching. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Golly, guess I missed the fact that Pete Carroll had stepped down after the 2023 season. I obviously wasn't paying attention and didn't thoroughly read article about him taking the Raiders' job, because it was most likely mentioned in the article I referenced. Should be good games today. Warming up here.…

Mornin' BBB Traffic is already bad in DC area. Can't imagine how snarled it will be tomorrow, thank goodness it is not a workday. Looking forward to the games tomorrow. Still buttasscold here at 7º but supposedly warming up tomorrow. Gonna try to train with girls since we have a trial coming up. BBB OP ;-)

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 ;-)
