What made you smile today?

Clyde sounds like a winner. He looks like one, too.

he's got potential

trying to find out how big he is (Bella isn't a very big dog and I don't want her squashed)

talking to my friend's husband on the phone - who has met Norbu and is the connection to the person who brought him from Cuba

is he 2 x bigger than a cat? 3 x bigger than a cat?

no, he's 8 x bigger than a cat

hmmm so he's 80 pounds?

no I can carry him

in the background, a colleague, he's like 2 feet by 3 feet

...

these guys know NOTHING about dogs

Biggish paws

Finished the slide-outs on our Tiny House.

Almost time to start on the interior fitout.

biggish paws on an adult dog who weighs somewhere between 20 and 80 pounds


<still laughing about that phone call>

tidied up my ignore list
removed a bunch from 2008/2010 who are long gone
added one that I should have done at least a year ago
<sighs>
<smiles>
a short but helpful list remains

The electricity just came back on after an outage. I don't look forward to outages in the evening but it hadn't gotten dark yet when it came back on. I had called the power outage site on my mobile (I knew I kept that little flipper for a reason, oh, and my flashlights and batteries) and they estimated more hours than it actually took. This improved my mood greatly.

The funny thing, is in the midst of the outage my Bird Clock sang out. 5 pm brings the Canada Goose to the fore.

I also learned a lesson. I had been cooking some tofu (I know, I know, I rarely eat it anymore, this just to plump up a soup) and shut the gas off to tend to possible necessities before it got dark. I immediately realized that was stupid, since the gas has one of the electric ignition systems. Grrr to self.

Buy matches!

Since the Hungarian word for police is "rendőrség", I mean, why not call your private security firm "POLISZ"? Cheeky, but kind of clever..

Man, these comments of yours make me hungry...

nimh posts again! Ik heb een grijns op het gezicht

:-)

Nimh is back.

Oh well, maybe later.

Lying in the hospital now wondering when they'd get on with it and why the sedation isn't working, finally ask someone and find out that I'm on the waking up side. Second time that's happened to me. Always cool to find out it's already over.

Nice stress reliever to find out it's suddenly over with.

That is cool. Did everything work out as planned?

It wasn't today, but it was when my brother-in-law's dad said that when he was a kid, he had to walk three miles through two feet of snow to get to school.

another great swim today and the weather is nice enough to sit outside in the front yard shrubbery and read

I should have been painting the bench but reading seems like a better way to spend the long weekend

wpray paint the bench, it gives much cleaner results. JUST place a good drop cloth or the Sunday Register on the floor.
