60+ year old thread.

Only if you're already 60 in your head!
Don't ask us to do math in the evening!

 

What leaves drop from the Crepe Myrtle, and blow in, I mow! Last one coming soon.

 

Certainly!! Welcome and it's your turn to fill the cooler and stay out of Mikes recliner - he gets grumpy when folks sit in his chair

I'll blow the ones close to the house and chop them up with the mower and pick up what I need to.

 

As long as you fill the cooler with something decent...

And don't sit in Mike's recliner.

 

A lab, my most favorite dog in the world. I’m a dog guy (and kitty cat guy) love all dogs but labs just melt my heart. You’re awesome Sue!

 

Welcome to the porch youngster.

 

She's only 55% lab If you saw her head without the cone, she doesn't look like a lab.... but she is sweet like a lab, but she's broken like Zoie is - she won't retrieve and hates water



but she does like playing in the dirt.....

 

She’s beautiful!

 

Thank you.

After our yellow lab attacked my dad when I was a kid, I never thought I'd have another lab. But in '98 volunteered to raise a guide dog puppy and she was all lab. Number 2 was half lab and half golden and she was a guide dog reject (she had cataracts) so I got to adopt her. She was a great dog (my avatar pic). I kind of got hooked having them....

 

A friend did a DNA test on their Lab-looking dog (are the tests really legitimate?) and the results said the dog was Spaniel and Yorkie on one side and some kind of Wolfhound and Bulldog on the other. And it definitely didn't have a Lab disposition and was hard headed and hard to train.

 

I did a DNA test on her (also did one on Annie) because I was curious. Like you say, don't know if they are accurate.... maybe I should do Zoie - full blooded lab - and see what the results are for her....

55% Lab
13% Rottweiler
10% American Pit Bull Terrier
7% Chow Chow
6% American Staffordshire Terrier
3% German Shepherd Dog
2% American Bulldog
2% American Cocker Spaniel
2% Flat coated Retriever

She is fairly easy to train. When I got her she walked fairly well on a leash but her house manners were pretty bad. She's good now.

 

Good morning all! Welcome aboard @Essayons !

I love dogs but my lifestyle and desire to travel by motorcycle make having one impractical so 2 feline miscreants run our household. Bit brisk riding to work this morning at 30 degrees. Had to turn the heat on a little bit.

 

Welcome

Do bikes have heaters now? Back when I rode I had a snowmobile suit and Harley Davidson mittens. Still have the mittens.

Good morning.
My SIL gets better every day but she has a long way to go. Just sitting up is a major accomplishment. I did not have a clue as to how fast a body can go downhill. Lunch with another SIL today then back over to the hospital. Just being there to give my SIL drinks and food for a major chunk of the day take a lot of stress off my neice. My neice is getting worn down by her mom's illness. I feel good that we are doing the thing we came to Michigan to do.

 

I have a heated jacket liner and heated gloves.

 

Happy Hangar Day Porch Pals and Sue!

 

Good Morning everyone

Have an Awesome day !!!

 

Does the Bikes alternator support the extra current draw or do you use a battery pack?

 

The FJR has sufficient electrical surplus to power my heated jacket liner and gloves at near full power plus 2 sets of auxiliary lights and my GPS all at the same time. I have converted my headlight bulbs to LED to free up some juice. I think my passenger could even run some heated gear before I run into a deficit but she has no desire to ride with me once it drops below 50 degrees unless there is no choice in the matter. Like traveling to get somewhere.
