Wow. There aren’t many ways for that to happen that leaves a survivor.

I recall Eric and Stacy and their crash. Last time either one would ever get on a motorcycle.

It’s not a fair fight with other traffic, that’s for sure.

It was the kid’s fault I guess... failed to stop or something.

Good evening! Doing OK here... this past week has been the first one with real "summer" weather, highs in the mid-90s. Cool for July in Texas! ;-)

In other news... I spent the day blocking small openings in the fence, around gates, and under the house so Barkley got to be loose for the first time today, off his tether. Zulu lived here for years, was smaller, and it never occurred to her to go under the house, but it's one of the first places Barkley went.

After checking the perimeter of course... He is a roamer... I can tell, he'd like to just go see where his nose takes him. I wouldn't put it past him to dig out. He and Homer.. They're dang runners!

Tell me... how again have I ended up with a beagle?

He is cute... And not as insane as other beagles I've experienced.

He’s just trying to figure out how to get home. Like Homer. :-)

All beagles are insane. :-)

He’s a tank. He weighs 47 pounds! He doesn’t look that heavy.

If he’s expected home this weekend, then that means he must not have been hurt TOO bad! Thank goodness for that!

I don’t know how long he’s been there. I haven’t talked to her in awhile!

Good Morning Everyone.

I guess I can start with a mini-biography. I was born in Maine, youngest of five. Joined the Air Force at 19. Was stationed in Las Vegas, Spain, Turkey, and Phoenix. Medical Retired after 18.5 yrs. Worked security in Phoenix for a few years, then returned to Maine and currently working security here in Augusta. In June I celebrated my 21st anniversary with the most wonderful woman in the world. I have one daughter that graduated HS this year, and two very lazy cats that shared a womb and now won't even share a couch. Here is the daughter's grad pic...

I tend to be very sporatic in posting since I work all different shifts and days. (Nature of the beast in security) I really look forward to making new friends here.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Sean O.

Good Morning ALL: hmmm. Caturday, actually Annie thinks everyday is Caturday and, in her case, she may be right.

Warmish already, been out and about, LSA has scoped out the shady sides of the street and Gypsy was able to handle a pretty good walk this a.m.

Got a bit of gardening to do; tomatoes still coming along, though they have slowed down with the heat; peppers seem unaffected.

Barkley seems to be enjoying his ‘domain’. Glad to hear the pumps are gone, should improve your view somewhat.

bbl

Dew is heavy enough the grass is still too wet to cut so that’s postponed for the time being.

Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely daughter.

Not to worry about sporadic posting. We usually don’t give the test on the first 32 threads for a week or two. Seriously, in the early days we were all here, all the time. But there’s only a few of us here like that now. The rest stop in when they can and that’s just fine.

You know, I’ve never been to Maine.
But I kinda like the music...

Mornin’. Woke up with a headache around 5:30 so I took a handful of Advil and went back to sleep. Heard the Mrs. on her way to meet my Mom for the Luke exchange and slept a couple more hours.

Not going to be as hot here as it had been. Still, I’m ignoring outside. The de-frapping continues. I’m working on the office and Jr. is working on his room. With any luck there will be a load to Goodwill and maybe another to the landfill.

Welcome back Lost Dutchman, and congratulations to and for your daughter!

Barkley has been out to check the perimeter and remains inside it still.

Today we’re going to do some projects here around the house, trail riding tomorrow, if all goes according to plan!

Corin... Good morning :~)
