Good morning!!!!

Good Morning!
Do I get credit for beating Roy for first post of the morning?

Well I cheated, I had a late night event in DC at the Capitol Club working my part-time self employment gig.

I will say that once again I did get to shake hands & say hello with Skunk Baxter (let's see who knows who that is...)... But that is all I can say...

I got home about midnight and it is supposed to get cold so I re-lit the wood stove (or tried to) I'd been gone almost 12 hours...

All my wood seemed damp from the rain all day and it took 35 min to light the stove...

I've got 2 swallows left on my Yuengling Black & Tan and the Jalapeno Cheetos are gone, so I'm off to bed in (gulp) one more swallow...

I had 2 job interviews today, got another tomorrow, who knows, something will happen someday...

Be well all,
David

PS - Buppies, thank you for asking about me sir...

Jeff Skunk Baxter, I remember him from the Doobies and Steely Dan. Great guitarist. I admit that I don't collect music like I did in my teens. I always tell young 'uns that I remember when people actually sang music instead of rap (crap).

At 2055 it's down to 28F. I wish we could stick with normal weather, like the tornadoes. Here is a couple of pictures Margie posted to Face Book from the prison after the twister yesterday morning. She was supposed to speak at a luncheon there tomorrow, but it's been canceled. The officers who were hurt were waiting in their cars for the shift change. None of them were hurt too bad. The convicts are still in lock-down, and will stay that way until the fence can be repaired. Tornado Damages Calhoun Co.

Wow, those guys were lucky they didn't get hurled up higher in the air. Powerful wind.

19F. It's been cooling down all afternoon from 33F this morning. We are on the edge of the cold area.

Those tornadoes do make a mess. It's always fortunate when injuries remain low.

Our older dog is not doing well tonight. He's gotten progressively weaker in the hindquarters over the summer. It something similar to muscular dystrophy where muscle mass continues to slowly disappear.

This afternoon his right rear leg slipped in the snow and splayed out. He hasn't been able/willing to walk since. The other rear leg isn't strong enough to really help by itself. We rolled him onto a blanket and got him inside that way. We're hoping to see some improvement in the morning--if it is pulled tendon or muscle. If not, we'll be off to the vet for some x-rays.

I can move the leg through its normal range of motion and massage without him hurting, so I hope it's a soft tissue thing. It only seems to give him pain when he tries to put his weight on it. He is a bit of a baby about things that hurt, or even might hurt. Up until now he has been pain free, happy, alert, eats well, no digestive issues, and always ready to go out for a walk even though we could see him declining and his rear feet stumble and trip now and then.
