Before February Ends...

The plan is, is to get at least a post a month here for 2024...so here we are in later February so let's do it...


It has been, for the most part, a snow free and mild winter..."Man Made Global Warming"?  Bullshit...just nature doing what it does, going through a cycle of change...and turning 75 next month, I'm damn glad to see the warmer winter weather...and hopefully Spring, as they predict, is warmer than normal as well...

Millie, the new Airedale pup, is growing way fast...on her 3rd and last for now, visit to the Vets, for here final set of pup shots, she weighed in at just over 40 pounds...and she is just turning 4 months old this week...even for the Oorang/Ohio Strain, that is a big girl...100 pounds?  I hope not, but if it happens, we will adapt.

Only a few solid plans for the spring...watching the middle grandson during his 9u travel baseball season from March thru early July down in Dayton, another Vietnam Security Police get together in April at WPAFB and the Air Farce Museum in Dayton...and {maybe} some fishing in... 




I will, God willing, turn 75 on March 16th...does that bother me?  Not really, given the track record of the surname men in my family, I will be only the 2nd one that has reached 75 years old...my Uncle John made it to 75 and a couple months, but he had 3 heart attacks and some other later year health issues before he passed.  As for me, despite the Agent Orange related Diabetes 2 and related Neuropathy, I am pretty healthy.  On a few drugs from the Columbus VA, but all in all, I still ride the Dual Sport Motorcycle on occasion and get out and about ... we will see how that works out as time moves on...

OK there is my short February post...back in March, if not sooner>>>>

Welcome to 2024...

 2024 off and running...


Almost a month in to the new year...first few days/weeks were cold and windy, last 10 have been miserable, wet, above average temps, but now closer to normal temps but still damn, not seen the sun since at least a week, and not even before that...

The new Airedale Pup, Millie, is growing like a weed...turned 14 weeks on Sunday 28th} and is right at 30 pounds...mostly house broken, still a few mistakes on occasion, but doing as well as expected.  Training is moving along, wife is better and more patient than me...Millie is still over aggressive with Old Cam Dog, the Schnauzer Mix who is at 16 years and mostly blind...it all is a work in progress.

Not much else going on...I do need, approaching 75 years on this planet, to get back to working out more...I can feel the winter moving along slow...but spring can happen IMO at any time...the sooner the better.

Well that's about it...getting the year moving, and I will be back later, God willing...

When we had a bit of Snow Millie did enjoy playing out and about in it...
