  1. I remember the big switch from Maxwell (blue can) to Folgers (red container).  Must have been in the 70's.  There was a period when I would stop at Dunkin Donuts for a large coffee and two Old Fashion (plain cake in side with a light glaze) donuts. Then take it back to my office in the court house for a leisurely breakfast.

     

    Hey Coytee....looked up your wife's coffee machine.  That's a tad pricey though I bet it does a good job.

  2. Carl your post brought a tear or two......thanks for the kind words.  It's always a question of who rescued who.  Trish and I wouldn't have moved in together if not for Jake's adoption.  

     

    Having a second Old Fashion with Proof syrup and bitters.

     

    Randy you were right the Prednisone perked Jake up and he ate soft food for the first time in two weeks.  We were both thrilled that he ate with such an appetite. 

     

    So here again is my boy.

    My heart says Cornwalls but my wife will likely prefer Fortes. If only Cornwalls came with the distressed oak option (guess it makes a huge difference visually to have a brighter front on speakers of that size and). 

    How much are you attached to the wife?

  4. Ultrasound yielded not such good news.  Pancreatitis, liver disease, gall stones.  Some nodes would need biopsy to determine the need for surgery.  At twelve years old we are not likely to take that route.  The liver can regenerate but with Jake the nodes are on all three globes.  Extra thickness of the stomach lining likely contributes to loss of appetite. So steroids and antibiotics for now.

    Wish the news was better.........

  5. Raining cats and dogs here.  Expecting 2-4 inches more of the wet stuff before clearing on Tuesday.  Speaking of dogs....just finished chasing Jake around the house to get his medication.  Half a pill in a dab of peanut butter on the roof of his mouth.  Tires us both out.

     

    Off to the Vet at 9am for an ultrasound......wish us luck gents.  I admit I'm as nervous as a long tail cat on a porch full of rockers.

  6. Hasn't been a great week with Jake having gall stones and not eating.  He has refused just about everything.  Back to the vet today for fluids, shot of B12 and a prescription to stimulate appetite.  Just gave him the first pill with peanut butter on the roof of his mouth.

    After two week without alcohol I have poured the first two tonight.

  7. Thanks Dman and welcome to the forum.  It came from Salamanderdesigns.com.  Configure shelves as you like plus the back panels are easily removed to facilitate wiring.  They often have sales and free shipping.
