Hi Gina, thanks for working through the tech issues.
How was your week? It’s hot up here, am trying to keep the plants alive, had a couple racks of beef ribs over oak this weekend. Next weekend, vacation!
Double cross is a #####.
That was an intense Johnny Dollar! This is a sad Dragnet so far. The poor guy is beside himself, and they’re doing the seder.
Our week was busy. It looks like the tropical storm may go east into Florida.
You doing okay?
Life’s good. We need that rain!
I was in the backyard this afternoon smoking a cigar and watching the bird feeder, and something fuzzy and grey, of moderate size ran quickly along the fence line into some bushes near the feeder. I have no idea what it was. We have lots of rabbits but it was running more like a rat, but I’ve never seen a rat here. Maybe a small groundhog? I can’t figure it out.
Never miss a bradcast! BTW, was Johnny Dollar any relation to Johnny Paycheck?
Probably a mouse or a rat. Those little critters are all over the place. :-)
Hi everyone...
HA! Maybe Paycheck in Dollar's nephew. :-)
Yuck, time to break out the pellet gun.
Hi Dr, are you frying up there?
That was such a sweet Gunsmoke! Dragnet turned out very well, too.
Hi, Doc! It’s good to “see” you!
was really, really swell.
Halloween Tree huh? I’ll try to check it out.
