My daughter driving back to visit for her birthday today.

:)

AZ, he was 11 or 12 years old which is quite respectable for a rottweiler. I do miss him, but I know he was well loved by all of us in the family.

LS, the other matters can go forward with better results but the loss of your pup is a final end. Glad you are left with good memories.

Sorry for your loss. I know when we lost our cat, it was a painful experience and we still miss the little guy. Let's face it ... pets very quickly become part of our families.

I got on the bike for the first time this season. I can't wait to get her out on the open road.

Memories of riding along, going wherever, on sunny Spring afternoons! Those were good days! :thumb:

There's nothing like it, and hopefully I'll be able to keep riding for a very long time.

A beautiful Spring day!

My wife flashing me out of the blue. Always a very welcome sight! :boobs:

^^^ LOL! Good for you! :thumb:

Posting to Pixies while flying to Austin.

Having my head on the fucking chopping block again but at least I'm wearing a tiara

A young man graduating from college and his father's pride.

A Brian Regan comedy special. He's always been so good. Though I get annoyed that I miss half the visual (he's an excellent mime) because my eyes are shut from laughing so hard. :)

A certain AQUAtic visitor here visiting me with his best kiddo.

Tell AQUA that we said hello and that we've missed him here.

Happy about ^^^^ that and happy for all the yard work I got done yesterday (mowed both front and back yards, trimmed the bushes, and, cut down some tree branches that were close to our power line) ... plus washed my car. :)

When you've finished there DB I've a couple of acres in need of TLC.

My daughter, who hasn't lived at this address for many years, just received a jury duty notice.

Should I bring my own scissors or do you have a lawn tractor with a mowing deck? :D

Ride-on mower is still 6 months away. BIG scissors maybe.

Like this?

:D

Now that's a chopper.

Of course, you have to wonder about the engine.

After all, didn't your mama tell you not to run with scissors?

No, we couldn't afford scissors. I had to run with a breadknife and call out click click.

We just borrowed our scissors from neighbors but the folks had to agree to let me cut their lawn, too. Sometimes worked days getting both done.

Last night's concert: Sibelius: Symphony #7 // Shostakovich: Cello Concerto #1 // Beethoven: Symphony #5

I still don't "get" Shostakovich (I wonder if I ever will), but the two symphonies were very enjoyable. Both ended in C Major, but Sibelius' was somber while Beethoven's was triumphant.

Yesterday afternoon, our nephews wedding in Decatur. Really enjoyable.

Being able to walk in the entryway and use the closet there. One project down!

Seeing soda with us again. :thumbs:

The one piece of Shostakovich that always brings a smile to me.

Beautiful! ^^^^ Simply beautiful. Brought a smile to my face as well. Thanks OF! :thumbs:

Actually it was yesterday ... had my normal visit with my family doctor. Everything looked good. Weight ... getting down a little each time. About 8 pounds from my las appointment with him. Blood sugar and A1C ... good. Blood pressure ... good. Heart ... sounded strong and good. Sounds like you're stuck with me a while longer. ;)

(Hopefully, quite a while longer. :wish: )

Yesterday I finished a maintenance job that could have been much more of a problem and expensive. :cabbagep:

The Supreme Court ruling regarding marriage equality. The announcement that there will be at least 4 Star Trek movies (the new series). A nice visit with a bandmate over ice cream. Lunch with girlfriends. It was a good day, and they've been all too scarce of late.

Getting the syllabus and website for my first course as adjunct set up.

Trainwreck, the new Amy Schumer movie

Watching some old "Thin Man" movies on TV yesterday evening.

Dinner with my favorite first husband.

Watching a Mike Hammer movie (DVD) starring Stacy Keech. Love that series.
