This year they went back to 16 dog teams from 14, so there are more puppies running, but 2,3,and 4-year-old dogs should be in top shape. I would guess it is related to the large dog habit of gulping their food instead of chewing leading blockages. No thoroughbred teams this year. I’m surprised at the great weather this year
]]>also, i didn’t read every detail on every team but was there an all-siberian team this year? if so, i missed it.
in spite of the downside, i thank you for once again keeping us posted!
]]>Oz has been assaulted with some really nasty weather for weeks now. Yesterday it was Spring here and today we are back in Winter. Fortunately the sand absorbs the rain from the above average rainfall, unless you were dumb enough to put down topsoil and sod for a lawn.
I assumed you were on sick call again and would show up again when you were ready.
MT Green isn’t worth the time lost reading about her. The Republicans are destroying their Party from the inside, even without Trump. Trump is sucking up all of the political donations and throwing them at lawyers to save himself while the party is starved for cash.
]]>Was offline for awhile. In Hospital again (still? Not sure of I told you my unit was flooded by a sudden severe storm a few days after I got home in Jan.
Got a new Agent a week ago, or the old one, actually. Repair work hasn’t even started! 🙁
Was catching up on twitter & mastodon. Someone posted this about MTG proving she qualifies for a lifetime Moron Award!

I hope you are well and taking time for yourself. 🙂
]]>My younger brother was a DEC project manager who lived in Hong Kong for several years. The celebration closes Asia for more than a week as everyone returns to their family village/town and clogs all forms of transit. In the West Coast computer business you had to know when it was and stockpile before hand or you wouldn’t have machines to sell or parts to fix them. It didn’t hurt to put up some decorations to attract the contents of the “red envelops”
]]>So I understand from comments on Mastodon.
]]>I haven’t forgotten you. I’m herding cats …. dealing with tenants who don’t understand the concept of a hard freeze in Florida. Local stores don’t carry winter necessaries so you have to order plumbing supplies and hope they arrive.
]]>I got an eMail from the agent saying that the rents have been suspended until an investigator comes & reviews the damage & submits a report. Given how many homes, offices etc. have had minor to severe damage, that could take some time. Good! I can use the rent money for other things! 😉 😀
Today was a surprising nice, sunny, warm, medium humidity, day! Did 3 loads of laundry, mainly towels I used & other things that were soaked in the dirty water.
The Physiotherapist came this morning & said we should try a walk outside, & I could use the Vit. D. LOL He’s not wrong! It went very well, I have been doing a daily exercise routine he gave me over a Month ago in Hospital. He wanted me to walk down the driveway & back, but I said I think I could walk town the street to the corner & back, it’s not long, only 4 housing blocks. I managed it OK, but was a bit tired when we god back, but he was quite pleased at my progress. I told him I was a tough old sod, not some young lad that get’s tired getting out of bed! He laughed well. 😀
Other than that, I am taking things as slowly & carefully as I can. So don’t worry Bryan, you know me well. 😀 With all the crap the Universe has tossed our way mate, we have survived better than most have or would!
I have a good reverse cycle A/C unit here, has a very good dehumidifier. It’s quite rare that I have to actually use the A/C cooling system, which is good as it costs more to run. It’s the humidity I can’t stand, and the dehumidifier also drop’s the temp around 6-7 C as well. 🙂
You take it easy also my friend. I truly hope you catch a good break in 2014! Please take care of yourself. 👍🏽🖖🏽🥰
