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.

Corn/Oatmeal Breakfast

My wife started making oatmeal for breakfast ...
the water was boiling, she poured in oatmeal ...
but there wasn't enough.
So, she poured in cornmeal and added golden raisins.

Beautiful foto ...
which I neglected to take before I wolfed it all down.
At least you can see the Ruibose & Peppermint tea
Mmmmm.

I think I forgot to mention that I had a hot Stadium Brat sausage to eat along with the corn/oatmeal. Such a short senior memory sometimes. Just the one or two things that were most important. Besides, I'm currently sipping the tea, so it is not so easy to forget ...

Unseasonably Warm

Notice how unseasonably warm it is across the nation ...
At least it is very warm in Idaho, Washington, and New York. What happened to their beloved - F temps? So unusual for this time of year.

Look at the jetstream
encapsulating that cold weather and taking it south
to New Orleans and places.
While SoCal stays blissfully warm.

Coldest Orange Bowl on record in Miami last evening
it was 49 degrees at kick-off.

What Global Warming???

I really wonder about this global warming stuff ...
Far from being the hottest winter ever ... it seems like it's even colder than last year and the year before when I was freezing up in Wisconsin (waiting on a load).

Just take a look at the temperatures across the nation today ...









Where would you like to live at this time of this year??

Happy New Year! ... cleanup


Happy New Year to you all !!!

Now we have to go outside and do the cleanup after last nights party.

The remnants from last night ... bottle rockets & Dr Pepper.

The launching platform where the fireworks mortar tubes sat to launch the spectacular display into the sky. Paul & Ben just couldn't resist ... being the big kids that they are ...

See the remains of the massive bonfire?
See the smoke rising ...
It rained during the night ... and it is still smoking.
No jackets required ... it was toasty warm.
And a great place to cook marshmallows and hotdogs ...
on the pitchfork tines.

The regular little wire things to roast marshmallows on were too short ... to get close enough to the fire ... due to the massive heat it was putting out.

The wife is eating a banana coated in peanut butter for breakfast ... I think I'll stick with the tatter-tots.

How in the world can he sleep like this???

Try laying on your back, feet up in the air, and an arm hanging over your body in the air ... and sleep.

Are you sleeping yet?
