I keep the cracks in the cul de sac turn in front of the house roundupped. Makes the neighborhood look a little nicer not to have grass and weeds growing in the cracks in the asphalt. Neighborhood association petitioned to have the street re-asphalted this summer, but haven't heard if anything resulted from it.

Shhh, don't tell anyone, especially that vacation man Jim, that Monday starts in 2 hours!

It is kinda difficult for me to boycott the NFL since don't watch, attend, or even keep uo with the games in the first place.
So are boycotters just not watching, or turning off their cable subscriptions?

[GH85Carrera]

Yea, I have been boycotting all major league "sports" or games. Can't care any less about watching other people play a game.

Good Monday morning all. We had a project to fly this weekend. Saturday was perfect weather and we had some weird laptop issue and it did not want to talk to the camera. So 1.2 hours of wasted airplane rental time. Sunday was mostly overcast. It was do it or lose it time. The pilot flew it once and it was cloud shadows on the ground in spots. Then the clouds parted and he flew it a second time and the clouds were just outside the project. Like in Gumball rally "what is behind me does not matter" and what is outside the project does not matter. Whew, we got it and it looks great. My computer processed the data last night and the new CPU cooler kept everything nice on cool baby cool, just like me.

morning all. Well we got dad moved only a few oops. Found a broken statue and the shower rod ends got knocked off.

The weekend capper was last night went out to walk the dog and 5 houses down I found the little old neighbor lady sitting on her front step holding a rag to her head. She had fallen and banged her head on the concrete pretty good. Lucky that my wife works with her son so we called him. Still waiting on the outcome.

[RKDinOKC]

That's great having Pops closer. Hope he settles in well.

At least the neighbor lady was able to get up!

I need MORE POWER!

Working with 4 GB data sets needs a SSD hard drive. I guess that will be the next upgrade.

While waiting for the files to copy from one computer to the other I went outside to hunt a mole. The little bastage is making a tunnel along the sidewalk of of the west garden and I guess he burrowed under the wide driveway and now is going along the curb. We bough some of the poison gummy worms that are supposed to kill em off. At least I will not have to bury the critter.

If he went to the back yard the 4 legged mole hunters would really love to dig him up and dispose of the body with joy. They would for sure need a bath afterwards. A dachshund would love the fun of mole hunting.

I don't watch much sports, let alone buy jerseys of my favorite sports team. This week we have a directors meeting and we were instructed to wear jeans and our favorite sports team jersey. Hmm. I wonder if I could wear the one from our Muay Thai gym. Otherwise it will have to be an automotive sports manufacturer.

[RKDinOKC]

Get a shirt printed that shows looking through a rifle scope looking at a silhouette of a person. Under it is says.

I hunt people.
It's okay though,
I eat what I kill.

Get one from a racing ream. You will have the only real SPORT jersey there. The rest are just game jerseys.

I saw this today and instantly thought of the azzhole I used to work for.





I wonder why?

[RKDinOKC]

I would have to buy a jersey cause I have none.

Would be tempted to go around the office taking a knee though.
And say "Whack wives matter"

[RKDinOKC]

Oh, I know...

Wear a racing suit with Hans device and carry the helmet. Every once in a while take a knee and say "Track Lives Matter."

Race lives matter?

I like that. My HR department thinks it is funny. Same with the janitor, lawn guy and the moron sitting behind the keyboard. I need to reduce the staff.

[RKDinOKC]

If someone that rides bicycles is a cyclist, is some that races cars a racist?

[GH85Carrera]

Morning all.

A rainy day in store for us. 67 degrees is nice. It feels like fall.

[Porsche-poor]

morning all. Its fall here. I might already have to put the 911 to bed for the winter.

[RKDinOKC]

Good Morning. It ain't no Monday no more.

Woohoo we are getting some much needed rain!

Thinking very seriously about training Pepper to be Service Dog. Specifically a Diabetic Alert Dog.

One of the reasons is...

I have IBS and have episodes were I can't be very far from a toilet for several hours at a time. When I get up and rush to the bathroom I tell her I am going to the restroom or I gotta go do my stuff. Sometimes she is laying across my lap and I say I gotta go to the bathroom and he gets down and heads to the bathroom. While I'm there Pepper stands in front of me and says Hello and I Love You to get petted and scratched on.

Anyway, if one of these episodes starts at night while I'm asleep, or I fall asleep durning and episode and don't wake up in time to get to the restroom. I grumble and complain while cleaning up. The last couple of weeks Pepper has been waking me up with plenty of time for me to make it to the toilet. Even if I fall asleep watching TV or at my computer. Thought she was waking me let her out, needed water in her dish, or wanted me to make room on the bed for her, but instead she goes to my bathroom.

So...

Googled Service Dogs. First there is no registry or tests that a dog must qualify for to be a service dog. The only legal rules are that you have a problem and the dog or miniature horse performs a function that helps with that problem. Also that proprietors can ask that the service animal be removed from their establishment if it relieves itself, is barking, or is not behaving and bothering other people or animals.

You can buy service dog certificates, but they aren't valid. And you can buy vests, which help to get the dog in the door, but it's behavior is what makes it a real service dog.

There does however seem to be some training for Diabetic Alert Dogs that the American Diabetic Association provides vest patches for services dogs, and the vests also include pockets for testing, insulin and sugar. There still is not a registry, but the patch can only be gotten from the ADA from an approved Diabetic Alert Dog trainer. Trained DA Dogs cost around $30K. The is a program you can train your dog yourself that is $2000 and will make you an ADA trainer and get your dog that patch.

I haven't really taken many vacations because of my IBS problem has gotten so much worst since the foot ordeal. I took one week and a half vacation that turned out to be more embarrassment than it was worth. So thinking if I train Pepper to be a recognized service dog it would be really great to be able to take vacations and not have any embarrassing events.
