Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

A little Sunshine, A little welding

Enjoyed a little sunshine, a little welding, a short bicycle ride, and a lot of hacksaw and grinder work ... gotta separate them bicycle parts from the frames so I can use them. Tried getting some tubing from an old 10-speed frame ... but it was so darn thick and heavy that I just kept the front forks and the headtube. Tossed the rest of it on the scrap pile.

No, my back didn't bother me while riding the recumbent bicycle.
Nice padded seat, firm back support ...
Just don't drop anything on the floor ...
and have to squat down to pick it up.

I'll take my sniffles and see about some yummy onion soup for dinner.

Blockage Between My Ears


It's been a busy day.
Called the recruiter at Werner ... no regional opening ...
in fact, no OTR openings either.

Called Lowes ... they said come in at 10 a.m.
I had an interview with the Store Manager.
So, they interview a few more people ... make a decision ...
and maybe I get a call from them next week??

Visited the local V.A. outreach center ... no help there.
come back next week and maybe we'll give you some Motrin
for that aching back problem ...

Made the long drive to the V.A. facility where they did the MRI on my head ... they confirmed that there is some kind of blockage in my head ... which is why the flashlight beam didn't go straight through from one earhole and out the other. Otherwise every thing is fine. Which had absolutely nothing to do with my back ... maybe I should wear one of those big black back-support belts ... oh, and take two aspirin ...
it might help (it's an anti-inflammatory).
