Poppy is settling in quite well and loves the snow! Her “little” big sister Rosie is adjusting well to having a new friend. She is almost 11 and slowed down quite a bit.

My niece lives in Santa Monica, a block away from what was the evacuation zone. I guess that’s changed or they’ve decided not to wait any longer. They just left for Newport Beach. She said the wind...

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve developed capsulitis in my second toes which makes skiing in my current boots horrible.

Hoping to make it back the season! I picked up the MC pass.

I think I need new boots & footbeds with new foot issues, anyone in Driggs folks could recommend? I’ve heard Tricia at Peaked mentioned...

Rosie and Poppy out for our walk yesterday evening. Poppy has found her appetite finally! She needs to put on a few pounds. Of course she went in to heat the week before her spay appt so now...

So sorry Tri-U. Such a handsome boy!
I went thru this last September with my Zoe, very sudden and liver cancer.

Week 1 with Poppy.

She’s the sweetest girl with mild separation/isolation anxiety. Or just frustrated to be left alone. She’s starting to relax some, doesn’t follow me the second I leave the...

Poppy (formerly Honey) is home with us! She’s so sweet.

Here’s “Honey”, the young Newf. She is definitely small. Such a sweetheart, has no training at all, just full of love. She needs a lot of work but I really think she’s manageable, just needs some...

My mom was a pediatric nurse for decades. Loved working with babies and kids but I know it had to be hard so I can only imagine as a doctor/surgeon.

When they first found E’s cancer, they were...

My cousin’s 5 yr old son has retinoblastoma. It’s all happened so fast since the detected it. They removed his eye last month. The surgery went really well but his oncology team was not happy with...

I’m excited! We’ll meet her Sunday morning. The in-laws of the lady that currently has her has raised newfs for a long time. This girl was from their last litter, was the runt and no one was really...

Going to go meet an 18 mo female Newfie this weekend that needs re-homed. Sounds like her previous owners neglected her. Nervous and excited. It’s been a year since we lost Zoe and Rosie’s almost 11....

I had a site visit today for some water system and well work. The contractors were talking about taking the “scenic route” back to the Falls to avoid the office, which eventually led to talk about...

This cute little northern saw-whet owl moved in next door. Tiny but loud, beeps through out the night. Sounds like a truck backing up.

It doesn’t seem that long ago. I’ve never seem the American version.

I’ll also add Bodyguard on Netflix.

Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren, I think I watched it on PBS in the 90s?

Did you try the empanadas?

For scuba, the guides at Hamanasi in Hopkins are great. You don't have to be a guest there, but the boat can fill fast. Diving at Turneffe Islands Atoll, Lighthouse Reef Atoll and Long Caye can be...

Thanks. Everyone that wanted to leave is out and safe. Some of the nephews drove from Mexico City yesterday to get her and take supplies. My brother in law’s mother rode the storm out in the bathroom...

My brother in laws family lives in Acapulco. It’s bad. They haven’t been able to talk to them, but have been able to get word that they’re alive and ok. They’re lucky, financially, they have other...

I can’t remember who recommended Gong Fu Tea, but I order from them when my regular source doesn’t have what I am looking for. I really enjoy their chamomile blend.

I order from TeaSpring.com...

Wait, that traverse is now straight?

The skywalk looks silly to me in the photos I’ve seen.

Hey! I've been lurking here all season. I hurt my foot and it's been slow to recover. I've been too afraid to even try any xc skiing in the "backyard" in fear of setting back the the progress I've...

The candied jalepenos are pretty good too. We drive by the one outside Luling on the way to the parents in Victoria from Austin. I have made that drive so many times. Only stop if it's not insanely...

How old are your teens?
S Congress has some fun shops, lots of good restaurants. Can be fun just to walk and check things out.
Zilker Park, Town Lake hike & bike trail, greenbelt, bats.
Chuys is...

Pigs. They’re loud and they stink. A semi wrecked on I15 yesterday. We ended up holding about 200 pig & piglets for the county yesterday afternoon. I felt bad for them, they were overheating,...

Not in the last two years, but I do try to avoid DFW, where this seems to be not be that unusual.

True

Go around landings. Experienced my first one at DFW this weekend. Not a fan.

Mostly CA I think. It all depends on the wind direction. Sunday night when the wind shifted out of the north, that came from Salmon. I don't really know what happens more down towards IF. Up here,...

I thought this was interesting. My neighbor has a place just north of Salmon ID. He went up to check on it Saturday knowing there’s not much he can do at this point. The fire is just across the...

Nice! It’s so pretty up there. Took a quick trip up to Kilgore last night to get a lodgepole. Pups went along for the trip.

There’s a local producer that grazes Ching Creek and then up on Table Mountain. Probably his herder headed up that way with some dries since it doesn’t look like there’s any lambs with those girls.

Comet K2 maybe? I read it was passing by Weds night/Thurs morning. I think it’s the largest comet to have entered our solar system. Tuesday night my neighbor saw a meteor break up over the...

Have you tried giving her a Kong with stuff frozen in the kennel? It’s been so long since I’ve had to deal with the puppy stage, but there are ways to help her get used to the kennel and like it....

LOL. No. Chew until two, shed until dead. The crate is your friend. I couldn’t leave Rosie alone for more than 15 min. She ate part of a sofa AFTER a two hour walk.

Luckily, when she turned two,...

Yes.

Apparently, because the rooter man did not go in to much detail thankfully. I suspect, that the drain may have already been slow, but no one bothered to let me know, and then this just made...

Things I really did not need to know. Called our local rooter man to come out and deal with some slow drains in a tri-plex apartment unit.

Learned that certain male bodily fluids can clog drains...

Lol! I used to work with several of the folks involved in making this happen. Where’s the sprinkles though? Kind of cool.

I think he’s in Texas now. Texas pays teachers pretty well. I don’t know if it’s still the case, but Texas also used to have an excellent teacher retirement plan.

I was thinking about SIJ today, I ended up with new ZipFits last season and still trying to dial them in. Another vote for Matt at TVS.

I keep forgetting about the reservations at the village!...

.

I stayed at the Moose Creek once 5 or 6 years ago with my dog. It was fine. The cabin was clean and maintained. I didn’t really use the main lodge. The road that leads to the moose creek...

Lol, pretty much.

Will do - I have to come over there to pick up the new ob. The sales guys at the IF dealership annoy me.

My neighbor is desperate for a car for his daughter and I know he’d pay a reasonable price for it, but it may still be out of her budget. It’s a 14 XT with 91k miles. Oh well first world problems.

New subie wilderness arrived 6 weeks early. No biggie or too annoying, just wasn’t really ready for that. Trying to decide whether or not to trade in the 14 forester or sell it privately. Did Seano...

Good to hear. We are hoping to get it here. My neighbor is on the list and possibly will receive the equipment in Feb. I’ve been waiting to see how it works for her before getting on the list. Oddly,...
