60+ year old thread.

I agree on both counts!!

Introducing Mighty Mortgage Manor's Morning Sunshine - Sunny. We drove down to Suffolk, VA Friday (8.5 hours with the 95 traffic), picked her up Saturday morning and drove back home (7.5 hours). She travelled extremely well - only about 5 miles of howling. We had a bit of a scare - ended up taking her to the ER vet early Sunday morning with diarrhea and vomiting. Turned out to be stress and a few rabbit droppings that upset her stomach.

Last night we put her in her crate at 10:30 and she was waiting quietly for me to get her at 5AM - not a peep out of her all night. She is a joy and our 4 year old Lab, Duffy, is warming up to the idea of having a sister. They are already playing - Duffy just isn't sure what she thinks about having Sunny sleeping right next to her.

 

She is quite the cute one Mark. Seeing her makes me want to go out and get one, but the wife and I aren't home enough to take care of a pup responsibly. Maybe in the future. Love dogs and right now we don't have the time to take care of one. Glad she is okay and it was just a stress problem.
I'm surprised Susan hasn't been here yet. You know how she is with puppy pictures.. Take care and enjoy your new family member.

 

Hiya Sunny! Glad you're feeling better.

 

hi Sunny!!! Welcome to TW!!! You sure are a cute little bugger!!! Mark, sounds like you lucked out with her on her not having to go out and being quiet!!!

some of us have to WORK!!!! You know that nasty, 4 letter word, that some of us do to keep a roof over our heads and gas in our Tacoma's!!!

 

I work. If you can call driving work. How you doing Susan?

 

I'm good Ken... hiding as much as possible in the AC me no likey the heat anymore.

How are you?

 

Doing good thanks. The heat doesn't quite bother me as much as the cold. But I'm glad for A/C. 60 * to 70* is a good temperature range for me. Try to stay cool for the next couple of days.

 

Morning all:
I'll take the cold!

Here's the tidbit of the day, must come under>what you don't know won't hurt you!
The FDA permits up to 5 whole insects per 100 grams of apple butter. (wonder if that includes worms)
Anyone like apple butter?

 

Rat hair & rat parts are ok in hot dogs

 

Beautiful job on the stool. My shop is finally getting together again. I have been waiting for 2 years, and having withdrawals

 

Gotta love them health rules. Course you never know what you eat anyway and it is all natural for the most part. The insects ar probably less harmful than all the chemicals

 

Not to mention the salt and fat content!

 

Mornin' Cool Old Dudes and Susan. Hope all are well today.

Did some salmon canning with another guy from work Sunday night, he works night shifts too. Between what he and I had left over in our freezers from last year, we put up 162 half-pint jars.

Troof

My moose dogs have no rat or chemicals, but a moose hair or two wouldn't surprise me.

 

I'd LOVE to keep my house @ 70*, but don't want the electric bill that goes along with it. So 78* it is Lots of cold fluids and a fan. When I 'm outside, the heat doesn't really bother me, unless it's 100* or over. Just don't like it

I know... just don't like seeing them

That's a lot of fish

evening boys

 

Evening all:
Walleye scallop chowder came today; DELICIOUS and no worms!
Sounds good on the canned salmon, that should last awhile.

 

poor froggy (toad actually)

 

Did I miss something?

Speaking of toads we have what I call 'teeny tiny tree toads' hopping around the yard again this year. Tree toads that are smaller than my little fingernail. I rescue them from the mower if I see them; sometimes I get on and off the mower a dozen times or more.

We also have a garden pond filled with tadpoles, for the first time! That should get really interesting in another few weeks. I know, I know, TTIWOP. I'll get some today.

On the job front, my employer is letting me go part time. I'm on track to start the week of July 19. To keep the HR goons happy we're telling them I'm working Tuesday, Wednesday, and half of Thursday, but just between my boss and I the real schedule will be 3 days one week and 2 days the next week. That will fit much better with my workaholic tendencies - when I'm at work I'm working, and when I'm not I'm not.

 

Good Morning all.

Congratulations Dave.

What kind of on-call arrangement did they agree to?

 

Did you stop and get the frog legs

 

Sounds like you all are having to much fun. 32 workings day til I officaily become retired
