Good day


Good job, Rob. You certainly aren't the same guy I met 5 years ago that day at Starbucks (he was much bigger.)

Our bloodhound ate a basketball ( yes, the whole damn thing), AND one of my wife's sorel pack boots...
That was a lot of AMUs not spent on a gas that year.

P.s. I did the math; each donut is about an extra 0.3 feet of ground role on takeoff...

I remember the day I solo'd (learned on floats) it was a rush being up there all alone all right, but without the 300# instructor the Cub felt like a hotrod!

Now I need to start to load 'er up again & get the feel of serious maneuvering when loaded to gross-gross on floats, to haul BIG pieces of 100% organic meat homeward. This year I'm gonna start to use the Cub for what I bought/built it for! YeeHaw!

We lost one of our pooches to a massive heart attack back in November - may he rest in peace. But he was a garbage gut. Seems to have a hankerin' for socks - the stinkier the better. For years I'd been picking up poops in the back yard with my sons socks in them. At least 1 a day - guess they were the perfect size for snacking. I couldn't break my son from not putting his stinky socks in the hamper or the crazy dog from stealing them in the night.

Came home from work one day to catch him on the kitchen counter - all fours - eating the cat food - just like the cat did. He weighed 80 lbs - counter was 3 feet high.

But the worst part is the coprophagia. Nothing worse than a shit-eating dog. I am certain that some of those socks had been through the "wash" a couple of times. #-o

Drove me crazy - but the dog did have redeeming qualities - and we miss him nonetheless.

Are you still hungry?

I just got back from a weeklong 'foodfest' (WOW!) on a cruise to the Caribbean.....
Now it is time to 'face the music'-in a big sorta way...

I'm 'on the wagon' now....

I get home today to weigh and start charting progress.
(It is a 'have to' kinda deal....)
Note-It was a Princess cruise to western Carib.

Exercise is part of the equation. I always put on 10 or 15 lbs every winter due to inactivity coupled with my body screaming for more food when it's cold out. But, I'd lose it again from April through July.

I started using a manual reel mower about ten years ago. It has lots of benefits. It's quiet so you can mow late at night without offending the neighbors. You don't have to fertilize your lawn any more because you're not hauling away the clippings. It's quite a bit more exercise because 1) it's harder to push, 2) you have to mow twice as often because it bends over the grass instead of cutting it if the grass gets too tall, and 3) it takes more passes because the reel mower is a little narrower.

I always make the dogs lie down away from the activity when I'm running anything with a motor, but they insist the rule doesn't apply with the reel mower. They drop the ball in front of the mower every single pass across the yard and I have to kick it out of the way. So, a weekly chore became a twice weekly play session with the dogs. Best of all, I'm back down to regular weight by the end of May.

That was a good show. Looks like that would be fun to try.
