One last look at the computer as I walk by on the way to bed.

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...you and Bo enjoy your Thursday.

[SandRat]

On this day in 1790 the Coast Guard was Established.

[left that other site]

I should write a song “Almost Famous”. LOL

After I got home and walked Lynn-Dah, posted on FR, put on my nighty and went to bed, Lynn-Dah got sick (retching like she had an obstruction in her throat).

Spent the next 4 hours in the Doggie ER and didn’t get to bed till 3:00AM.

Lynn-Dah is fine now, but I am a wreck. And I have a concert to go to tonight. This time it is the band “Yes”, so i don’t think they will be asking me to sing (LOL), and I am exhausted anyway, so that is probably a good thing.

Oh...Lynn-Dah’s diagnosis?

Age-Related Canine Cognitive Deficit Disorder. (Senile and deaf, causing her anxiety. Essentially she had a panic attack).

To quote Mick Jagger, as my Mom used to do all the time:

“What a drag it is, getting old.”

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

All is well here...just hot. Same ol’, same ol’. Know you’re having more of the same, too, so hope you and Bo have a nice drive in the country in the air conditioned truck! :)

[luvie]

How's everybirdy this morning?
Are you Early Birds up 'n' at 'em?
I'm up...but that's just happened
...so I'm not at 'em just yet. LOL!
It's too hot to have much energy, even early!
Oh, well...pretty soon we'll be fussing about the cold. :)
Anyhoooooo....y'all have a Thankful Thursday!
...and join me in a cuppa!
((((hugs))))

[SandRat]

Trying to get my Drs , WIFE & State to agree that I'm healed enough to drive again, before I became a TBI Prisoner.

After that, it will be thoroughly clear out and clean the Garage, then perhaps the back pattio area, then perhas the shed.

hhehe
Growing-up I saw and helped Dad, when he got tired of push-mowing the lawn. He planned & built his own electric lawn mower, using a washing machine tub, a 1 horsepower industrial fan motor, some pipe pieces for the handle, and only buying the mower blade.

Dad, all by himself, in his backyard, when he & Mom lived in suburban Detroit Mich, built an over the cab vacation trailer onto a Ford, 10 foot cargo bed, Ford 150 pickup. hehehe

When he & mom moved here he supervised my building 4 bookcases for the Church (design to finished product).

Sending prayers and pulling for you to convince the right folks, especially MrsSR. You can take Charlie for a ride. d:o)

[SandRat]

He’s not that well Behaved/Good Mannered yet to take to my Dr’s office.

[luvie]

He was quite the handyman and practically an inventor! I know you’re so proud of him! As he was of you!

[SandRat]

What he taught me I’ve taught my son. He’s slowly passing on those skills to his 2 sons.

[luvie]

That is what Dads do! :) Good heritage there!

[SandRat]

And Dad is in Heaven smiling.

[luvie]

He is...busting his buttons up there at how great his family has passed on his legacy!

[SandRat]

my son cares for Dad’s 1940 Buick with Great LOVE.

[luvie]

Oh, I’d love to see a picture of that car! Wow!

[SandRat]

Watch the TV Movie “Roswell”, even though Roswell NM, the movie as shot in Bisbee AZ. Dad let the BUICK be used as the Roswell reporters car. Dad even was used as a Roswell shop keeper.

[luvie]

Cool! I will make a note to look it up! :)
