I think it’s becoming a thing, all of the resorts I’ve stayed at have had signs on the doors giving the day and date.
Thanks all for the reassurance, I’m just fine with the whole thing, Hubs is the one who will pass out if he sees the needle. There aren’t any traveling vets out here, and I hadn’t thought about a farm vet, but that’s a great idea.
Today we went to Lowes and bought a furniture dolly. I can put their carrier on the dolly and roll them up the ramp. (I can still lift and move 40 lbs, but I have to be able to hold it close to my body. Their carrier is just too big and awkward for that.)
That’s a better way to wake up than coffee any day of the week!
I wouldn’t have looked in the tank for the valve, but I would have to see if the innards were all where they were supposed to be.
How very odd.
Poor Sadie, so much fuss and bother when she is trying to nap!
Poor lil lady. I’ll bet that is so embarrassing because she’s a good dog who doesn’t poop in the house.
Sounds pretty infuriating, but hopefully the peaches made up for it.
Happy Doperversary, chefguy! It’s so good that you are here!
Do you have a windshield screen? They really do help to keep the heat out. Also, leave the windows down at least an inch.

I’m really hoping this happens! You deserve a job you enjoy and pleasant co-workers.
I’m enjoying hearing about your travels, dang about the loud ladies.
Because nobody else is as CDO as I am!
Drudgery is different for other people as well. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy the entire process from shopping to plating the final produce. I make good food that looks pretty. I spend the time to make salami roses or use a melon baller instead of just chunking it up for snacking. Many people have told me that radishes that haven’t been cut into curlycues taste just as good as the ones I serve and all I have to say to that is “pretty food tastes better!”
I wonder if there is anywhere close for you got get blasting supplies.
Sad, but you can’t stop the money.
That’s pretty much how I feel as well.
All of the people I heard complaining about Aspen were back in AZ, it looks like the service is bad country wide.
I’ve got an appointment with a local dentist that comes highly recommended as long as you understand it will be at least a month between appointments.
Besides going to Lowes, we took the back roads to the middle of Harts. Such lovely country, I sure do wish we were young enough to live back in a holler. We ended up at a local meat processing company that sells onsite.
Their prices were much better than the grocery stores and we know where the meat comes from which is nice. Bacon was 5.99 a lb and all of the meat was vacuum sealed in clear plastic so we could see all the sides.
One of the owners is dabbling in cheese making so we also got some Colby cheese, sweet butter and garlic butter.
We walked out with several bags of meat and dairy products for less than 60 bucks. If the meat proves to taste as good as it looks, we will be getting all of our meat there from now own. We will have to remember to stock up before winter because when those roads freeze, they aren’t going to melt off and I doubt that road has ever seen a county snow plow.
On our way out, we stopped at my favorite patisserie where I was dismayed to learn that instead of putting our choices together in a box, they now put them into individual plastic containers. That didn’t stop me from buying a treat, though. I might be a tree-hugger, but I am also kinda spineless in the face of a chocolate cream horn.
