    A little something every chance we get.
    So yesterday, in between imaginary rain storms, I had time to mow, kill wasps, and do the truck Velcro thing.

    It doesn't hold, and when flipped up, a side wind will pull it right off the sides.

    correct new stuff isn't just blacker, it's much stiffer to grab the loops on the cover.

    And so, with some sunshine, the curve will relax. It hasn't been that "firm" across the top in a year. Velcro replacement strips good!

    :( Sorry to hear about the pup Kevin, deaf and blind can be managed, once they are suffering with pain then it's time to have to make the hard decision.

    Aww...darn. I'm sorry. Memories...keep 'em and smile.
    We just had a great weekend at the farm with our Little Tulip. She is a bichon and doesnt look like your typical farm dog...but she LOVES the acreage and exploring...but always within sight.

    There was a picture line for the marker. Yesterday was warm but I managed. I need to start walking more when I get home.

    Cannot wait to get home to our Sleep Number. For S&G I was looking at the new line of Sleep Number beds and they no longer offer a vibration option.

    Good morning. Today we rent a car and are driving to Key Largo and back. More recommended restaurants than meals so we will stop at 2 for an appetizer and drinks plus there are a couple of places we want to stop at along the way.

    @Kevins60 so sorry for your pup. Watching a family member become sick or in failing health os hard to do. Making them comfortable is what we have to do.

    This breaks my heart. I had to put my old GSP down at 15 years and 4 months after a stroke. Old for a GSP. The two of us traveled and hunted from Montana to New Mexico and Texas in my camper. Wonderful times! I cried like a child when I had to put him down. Haven’t been able to replace him. At 76 I just can’t see starting over.
    Best of luck with your decision!

    A very blustery day here. 60* and gusts to 36 mph. A good day to get some inside chores done.
    Everyone get outside if you can! Have a great day!

    Downside is that now breeders are going to start breeding horses with longer nostrils.
