Had the long drive to the doctor this morning early in the rain. A bit better coming home. So much new greens it hurts your eyes. A bunch of dogwoods too. AC guys came to see why the new coil isn't cooling. First it was overfilled. Second, the compressor is going out. Further adventures scheduled for the morrow. Illegitimi non carborundum. Thanks buddy. I never expected to see you quoti Barry Goldwater. 🤣 |

The wife broke my dog. Well maybe not she cleaned out her nose so she could breath better. But Rocksie has not eaten today despite my attempts cheese, potted meat, Dukes beef stick, pork chop at dinner and even turned down cookie time all these are some of her favorite things. If she doesn't eat tomorrow after her dog beauty parlor visit might have to turn up the worried meter a notch. I hope she feels better soon and it's nothing serious. Also, you have to have help bathing a Chihuahua? |

Finished the proof/edit on my friend’s book y’day. I am now retired from that line of effort.

Seven inches here and more coming down. Biggest snow of the winter '23-'24. Of course, now it is Spring. I'll bet it's beautiful though. Slightly nicer here. Sadly I return home tomorrow.  |

Also, you have to have help bathing a Chihuahua? The main reason is to clip her nails. |

I know who Goldwater was. I was trying to steer the conversation away from a politician before somebody took it any further. |

Have you found any other place that would allow us our 200 lbs of tobacco and 1000's of ammo rounds? Asking for a friend. 😉 |

Hoorah! I picked up my refurbished hearing aids this morning. Of course, they called yesterday to let me know they were ready but they called too late in the day for me to be able to pick them up. My wife is VERY happy for me to have them back in my ears.

I was trying to remember today my best guess is 13. She has not eaten anything at all today and can no longer stand. Called around to vet offices and none available but I am old enough to know that this what dogs do right before they pass away. All we can do is make them comfortable and make sure they know they are loved in the same way they taught us about unconditional love. I doubt she will be replaced as I am unable to take care of myself and like Roxie it wont be long till I am gone. I am tough as nails but the writing is on the wall. All dogs go to heaven is phrase that is told. |

So sorry to hear that, LOAR. If she is going I hope she goes painlessly. Or, she could be having a really bad gastric situation. Take her to a vet if you can. You have my thoughts.

Two tins and some pipe cleaners on the way. Funny how two tins are just a shade under free shipping… they did not figure on cheapskate charlie throwing pipe cleaners in.😂😉🙄 |

All dogs go to heaven is phrase that is told. Roxie was the name of the best dog I have ever had, a golden lab mix that was probably smarter than me. She was a sweet gal named by the people at the pet rescue organization. We also saw the signs that her journey was coming to a close, and it broke our hearts. Dogs should have a 77 year life span, that would be fair. |

I easily made free shipping before they added in Michigan sales tax and Michigan tobacco excise tax. |

Sorry I misread.
It appeared that you were taxed on a purchase by the state on a purchase. and a separate tax on tobacco.
Glad to move on….
