  1. Traveled to Alabama Saturday and back Sunday to get the new pup.  A younger couple traveled from Missouri to meet me in Oxford, Alabama.  Swanky was retired as a stud (kinda like me) by the breeder at 5 y/o.  In the course of two weeks he was neutered, transported 1000 miles, and has met lots of new folks.  He has slept a lot since then and I'm allowing him to decompress at his own pace.  Thought about changing his name to Spanky but Swanky is okay.  Don't know the story behind the name though.

    Here is the big boy!

  2. Bought a new PC from Best Buy yesterday.  A Microsoft  Surface Pro.  The demo  in the store had a key pad but  this one  is touch screen.  Yikes!   So I Spent  a few hours learning how to navigate and learning  windows 10.  Fun  right?  So my post will be shorter with more errors!

    Thanks Jimbo.  I talked with Ursula at the NT rescue about two weeks ago and am on her waiting list.  Norwich Terriers have small litters and a great following making them difficult to find.  Jake was a rescue, a former breeding dad, that we got at age 9.  A wonderful dog that we lost too soon.

    I have been corresponding with a lady who may retire one of her male breeder dads.  Just this morning I got the news that they think their dog would be happy in our home so I may be making a loooong drive soon.  Keep your fingers crossed!

  4. Another afternoon in the pool room with LF.  Vodka and tonics again.....going through that half gallon of Chopin pretty fast.  Did Keto for a month and lost 8 pounds.  Transitioned to Atkins so I made some Atkin's friendly cheese cake muffins. 

     

    Scouring the country and beyond for a Norwich Terrier.  You guys hear of one available please let me know. 

     

    After the Grammy's clips I saw I dropped Tidal, the former drug dealer Jay-Z, and his hook up Beyonce.  Went to Amazon HD and liking it.  Making some play list with only ultra high def songs.  Saving money too.

  5. Had my second shot Sunday grasshopper and felt a bit tired yesterday.  Can't say it was the shot since I also started walking some and took two short walks.  And then there was the three vodka/tonics as well.  Plus a pool shoot out with LF.  She's getting pretty good and beat me once.

    Tareheel, I love the George Burns quotation. Is he the small great guy who had quarrels with Walther Matthau about the 'Doctor routine'? 🙂

    Ft Wayne I believe.

    Gomer's date, Thelma Lou's cousin. Still the best show ever on tv.

    Actually Barney was trying to set Andy up with a date.  Lydia says her name means "a native of Lydia but I'm not from Lydia I'm from Greensboro".  Barney tells Lydia that Andy plays the guitar and she makes her statement.  She also says she hates the outdoors "it give me the herpes".

     

    Gomer's date was Thelma Lou's cousin (different girl) and the 6 of them were going to a dance when Gomer bolts from the house starting a big fight.  Gomer saw the other girls had a corsage and he left to get his date one.

  8. Thanks guys......he's on the screened in porch covered up.  I check on him every ten minutes.  Going to stay inside in the master bath tonight.  Hope he eats tomorrow.

    He is a great dog and cooperates with everything.  If I could give him a couple of my years...........

  9. Jake update for the dog folks here.  Didn't give him much more than two days and actually had my yard guy start digging a plot.  Called the vet asking if he had a miracle drug to administer.  He said there were a couple of things we could try so I took him back in.  Running a fever of 103 when 101 is normal indicative of infection.  Gave him two IM shots one a steroid that last for 29 days.   He said it is now up to Jake.

    Brought him home and wrapped him up due to chills.  Giving water with a dropper.  No interest in food yet but that may change with the steroids. 

    Stopped on the way home for a half gallon of Belvedere Vodka to see me through this. 

    Thanks for the PMs about the Jakester.............

    So I tune in and look to the Recent Post directory and see Speaker Break In and its latest posts on female nipples. Funny how threads take turns so far away from the topic although I am open minded and willing to learn about how female nipples effect speaker break in. 
    Knowledge is a powerful thing — 🧐

    I guess I would be even more surprised if a 7 page thread didn't take a side trip now and then.  Not unique to this forum.

    Commercial dishwasher?  Make mine a HOBART :emotion-21:  45 second cycle.      At home?  Economy model Whirlpool (complete with NOISE :lol:...)

    Yeah Gary....how far we have fallen talking about dish washers!   At least it's not speakers being broken in or broken down😉 

     

    If I ever get another camera I'll join you gents over at Right This Minute.  Though I do go to bed before most of you guys get started.
