Bad Day at Block Rock - errrr - Make it Bad Year.

[Otto Syracuse]

Oh gosh how did I miss that spell check!
When I was in elementary school the teacher told me "to remember how to spell desert and dessert, ask yourself would you rather have 2 desserts or 2 deserts? Remember, There are 2 's' in dessert and only one in desert"
I told her " I'd rather have two deserts, I could sell one, and then I could afford as many desserts as I wanted!".

PS: Today, I'm in real estate and my favorite dessert is rhubarb pie.

You guys are killing me... for some reason I don't think Crash is talking about a nice after dinner (dessert) treat. :licking:

No worries, Otto! But I couldn't let it ride. Someday you will ding me for atrocious spelling or grammar. It shouldn't take long, I am an engineer not an english major. :laughing:

Well folks if you depend on me for correct word use or spelling, you may as well forget it. :laughing:

In a short time a lot of water as gone under the bridge. Might say it was a flood.

Getting ready to go to town yesterday, I looked out the front window & a HUGE Dalmatian looking dog walked by. Turned out to be a female Great Dane. By the time I got out side she was sniffing on Bobby. Bobby not to happy. With her was a slightly smaller Male, think he was the leader. Followed her & found where they had dug under the fence. Got that hole plugged.

Riley & Dog left again. Not sure where they go. She came back once without him. Left again, when she came bad about 10 minutes later he showed up. At this point no reason to try & keep them in, they will just find another place to dig or jump the fence.

I am now a hermit once more. Grand son gone. Just up & left, no goodby, tho he!! with or anything else. Glad to see him go. Where he went ??????
Food bill & beer bill will go down a whole bunch, as he ate & drank more than I do.

Piece & quiet once more.

More Later

So Jim, I have been meaning to ask is Black Rock the name of your place or are you a Spencer Tracy fan?

I stared this several days ago. with this
Well Riley & dog were still here as of this AM. Dog stays away from the dogs & people. When he is close I gave him some petting & he did wag his tail. Thien went to far south end of the yard. For what ever reason he does not want to be part of the family, dog or human.

Riley & dog have sort of bonded. She seems to be the leader. Where I had fixed the fence after the great Danes dug under. Riley and / or dog dug out a new place.
Going to get some metal stakes ready & when sure both are in the yard will try again.

I think where Dog lived he was abused, could explain some of his fear. While here he hasn't even been yelled at. When he gets close he gets ears & back scratched & some treats like hot dogs. There may be hope for him if something does not happen when out running around.

Weather has cooled off. Not even up to 80 the last few days. Cool wind from the south. Need a jacket at mid afternoon.

Yesterday first baby quail of the year came in. 1 Set of parents with 10 or 12 little thumbnails. Hard to count as they never stop moving. Also some what surprising is how well those little guys can fly.

Feeding the quail out back, while throwing seeds 10 showed up & started eating.

More later,
Jim

I have to give Riley credit. She is a better hunter than I thought.\
a little while ago she ran past the front window with a cotton tail in her mouth. Followed shortly by dog.
Wonder if they share???? I have seen rabbits caught play dead & when dropped run like heck.
