60+ year old thread.

Good morning, all, and welcome to that thing people call Friday. I forget why it's important. Just another day to enjoy life for me!!

Heading out this morning to pick up some extra flood bulbs for our can lights in the house and also to pick up a couple bottles of bourbon I got in a charity auction.

Like me, both our Labs are early risers - up around 4 every day...but they go back to sleep after I walk and feed them...and here I sit. Our oldest (10 years) has some arthritis in her left front shoulder. We try to manage weight for them -Doc says both are perfect - and give daily glucosamine tabs. When our oldest was being treated for Lyme last month I noticed how much of an impact the anti-inflammatory (Galliprant) she was on seemed to also help her arthritis discomfort. Talked to the Vet and I now give Duffy one every other day and it really has made an improvement. It's always tough to watch our pups age...ourselves, too.

Enjoy the day!!

 

Good morning folks . Our Grand pup gets his glucosamine daily as well. He was having issues with his hip. He would limp after playing catch. It makes a world of difference with him plus he has to take thyroid medicine because of issues with that. But he is doing good and enjoying himself. We will be getting him back in the spring when he goes in to have the plate in his ankle removed. Iit has been a rough road for him but he has done well with everything.
Have a great day and be safe.

 

Good morning!
Just checking in. This is honestly a great group to be a part of.

On the other hand, here's a gem from long ago...
Grouch Marx quote: “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”

 

Good morning all, tomorrow begins a wave of snow days for the next five to six. Parts of the SW CO will get feet, Wolf Creek is expecting over 3 feet over the wave period. Right now we are in the 4-18" range depending on the path the storms take coming through. We welcome all of it - our snow pack is 73% of what is needs to be for this time of year. BRING IT ON

Alice brought home a propane Torch yesterday for me to play with - sort of, got some ice issues we need to resolve. Flame On

Second issue we are facing the next month or so, Coyote's are in their reproductive cycle which makes them extra aggressive and running in packs. I have to walk our two dogs separately as Agnes is coming off her first cycle and I need to carry while walking her. Several dogs have lost the battle in our neighborhood plus one of our neighbors got freaked out when a pack took down a doe in her yard the other day. They too have to eat but they are becoming a nuisance here, the state is looking at putting a bounty on them again as it is a real problem all over not just in our area.

Have a great day, for those still working TGIF for the rest of us it is the last day to shop before the weekend crazies....

 

Morning all:
Pa "WAS" talking about putting a bounty on Coyotes also, but guess the money was needed elsewhere! I had posted that everywhere we hunted had coyote tracks all over the place, grouse are almost non existent, didn't see a single turkey track and almost no bunny tracks, all coyote snacks in addition to the fawns that they kill in the spring.

 

We still have a lot of turkeys around but they are diminishing as are the rabbits (OK with that part) although the Snow Shoe Hair family seems to hanging in there. Not sure we will see a bounty but that won't stop me from taking out a few. If a few of us in the neighborhood make enough noise and impact they just may move on - sorry to where ever they head off to - sort of....

 

Good morning, everyone! Still lots of turkey, rabbits and deer roaming in our little corner of northeast, PA. I do hear coyotes from time to time, but have rarely seen any....so far.

 

So it looks like we have an appt. for a covid vaccine 1/26. at a local Kroger pharmacy. My wife has been on this thing like a hound dog, for a while now. I was willing to wait for a call from our family doctor.. we're on that list also. Not a peep from them to date, nor any other promised return calls.. spool up plan B.

Conformation email rec'd day of 0500. It's a go.

The second shot is reserved for you, when you get your first.. providing you make an appointment at that time. Likely part of the shortage issue.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kurt!

 

On my l I st of places to visit now.

Better than losing $. Stay warm Carl.

Today is a free day in Michigan. Going to a leather shop and have a belt made. Hope the shop has some dress style leather in stock. I have a silver buckle and loop that needs a belt.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kurt( @Oldie2007 ).

Good Morning folks. Another day of retirement . For all up North stay warm.

We have coyotes in our neck of the woods upstate PA but the local folk keep them in check . I've heard them but haven't seen any yet.

Have a great day all and Tom be safe driving home.

 

Get my first shot as a present today!

 

I'm packing up the cooler with beer, going fishing.

When my buddy suggested we go fishing, I checked the tides, and it is not good for fishing. We don't care if we catch anything anyway, so off we go!

 

Well, you know the old saying...'a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work'!
cheers

 

Enjoy the day cheech. Like they say, "A bad day fishing is better than staying home working on the honey do list.". Well not that but you kinda get the drift.

 

Just saw this thread; I'm 62 now.
My house is out at the SW end of a desert city, lots of open desert around me. I hear coyotes almost every night, and have seen tracks in my backyard sand.

 

Well, it's sill raining, so maybe only beer drinkin' today. Lines will still be in the water, hopefully the fish won't bother us.

 

Well, that didnt hurt a bit. But I have to sit in quarantine for another 15 minutes. In case I react....

 

My DIL is a nurse and the trend the med field is seeing is the first shot per say is not to much of a problem. Of course reactions are inevitable.
They are running into lots of people getting sick from the second dose.
AKA
Fever
Chills
Body aches
Basically the flu for a few days..

 

Second shot reaction is ok. It shows the second shot recognized the first shot in your system, and it's working properly.
