Well, as much as I was resisting, I caved and popped the heat on once this morning to take the 63 degrees chill off the house. Brrrr! And to think two nights ago (maybe 3 now) we ran the a/c’s to sleep! Lol

Hey Strangers ~ wow it's been about 3 weeks now since posting, I got about half way through Tuesday???
My sister's in-laws have tickets right behind the SF Giants home plate. I had 4 tickets and brought 3 High School guys with me. We had a great time, 60 yrs old acting like 16 yr olds all over again.
My sister's side of the family went on vacation in Italy for 2 ½ wks. I told her I'd take care of the dogs. She lives on a 3 acre apple orchard. There is a place there that is perfect to cut out 60' 6" to the plate. I grab a couple of apples on the ground and windup without the ball 3 or 4 times. I grab an apple and throw it online but short. Same with the next 3, then 2 more that were just left of the plate.
After about a week I was getting pain from the the shoulder through the elbow and into the pinky finger. Worried over my stent and worse, heart attacks.....
I find out it's rotator cuff tear
....
Thanks Tracy... They did very well. There were 200 participants and 7 categories. They were picked in all 7 categories, but did not get into the top 3.
Kia and Max are on the short to go back to Universal Studios Japan in February. They will know in the end of December.

The temps have left the building....
I've slung a lot of footballs and baseballs....now if I sling one it's sidearm only or ELSE !!!
Last baseball I saw was my A's going down the other night....I played 2 years in Little League with professional uniforms....First year was A's so I stuck with them...Football came around and I went with Oakland again...That was all @ 1971....Second year we got the Cardinals...I gotta check their progress as I know we're still in it....Pulled for the Cards in football but threw it in when they went to Arizona and never did pull for the St. Louis Rams.....

A brisk wind out of the south gives us 70 degrees - I'll take it [emoji3]
LoL Wharf! I'm only laughing about your shoulder because, like Dee...I know I'd mess up some body part too easily!! Will be 60 next month, and 'my want to' still hasn't accepted my 'can do' limitations 
Our forecast for the next week is low 80s daytime and low60s at night...I'm digging it!
Mark, enjoy those last Indian Summer days

I've got a small problem....For the last couple of months I've been seeing a 1/2 Bobcat 1/2 House Cat around the yard....For a while Bobby the Cat would take perch in an old swing that's sitting about 4 feet off the ground.....I'd see the cat nightly in the swing on Spike's nature calls....I was walking too the shop last week and Bobby was sitting on top of the Bronco under the shelter....That's as close as I've been to Bobby....Three nights in a row Bobby has been sitting on the bow of the big boat in the yard....I just chased him out a few minutes ago...Today I was on the phone when Spike saw Bobby watching from a line of Cypress Trees the neighbor planted....Spike chased Bobby a good 60 yards or so.....Pretty sure Bobby could shred Spike and that's where the el problemo lies....I've debated trapping and domesticating Bobby....I've also debating shooting Bobby....I really don't have time in the schedule for this....
That’s kinda neat , Dee
Do you think you could domesticate him?
Still playing water heater games. We finally got a good unit in, but when the guys installed it they cranked a little on a tee joint, ended up with a tiny leak.
Today's evolution The guy did a beautiful job replacing the tee. Two whoopses:
-sloppy with a propane torch he was using with the solder, burned an exhaust pvc pipe. Fixed it by adding a pvc coupler - shrug,
- sloppy 2, he ended up heating something enough to desolder a downstream joint, found by me this evening. A small leak, but obvious looking at the joint that the solder had flowed out
Got em coming back again...
(This is a warranty activity, else I'd do it myself. I know how to fix it, but refuse to let someone who should know how get away with shoddy work.)

It seems that every time I pay for work I could've done a much better job myself....
Cuzzo's Ex and her parents house clean out.....Ex leaves for London tomorrow to see the Carolina Panthers play Sunday....Was told last week to write a check for 8k worth of doors/landscaping/more for clean out....Agreed but leaving tomorrow and no check yet...I fully expect a call to pick it up when they're on the way too the airport....I got the mattress out the day our gate passes ran out...Kingsdown king size built to specs of the Grove Park Inn in Asheville NC....Big Grove Park patch sewn on the mattress that supposedly went new at 3500...I spent yesterday cleaning mattresses and a path into my house for the changeout....Gonna take my queen size too the beach...Hoping the way overpriced mattress is a good sleeper cause I got sleeping to do...Also got goose down king size pillows going through the clean up process....
I was married from 89~93....Wife's Unk was a friend and we witnessed his cat and a bobcat making kitties....I said I'll take one right then and there...A little red kitty that tore me up when I captured it...Sis named him Jared...He became rather large and had all bobcat features with a domestic cat coloration...Jared was @ 5 when he was hit by a car and killed....Pretty sure Bobby the Cat could be domesticated but that would require I purchase a new trap and build a cage to hold him until domesticated somewhat...I really don't have time for that....There are a lot of gun crazies in the neighborhood....Bobby isn't as cautious as a regular bob cat....I'm not sitting here with a loaded gun waiting but just hoping Bobby doesn't kill Spike...I don't let Spike roam so unless Bobby becomes aggressive everything should be OK until one of those neighbors makes the world a safer place to live...

Pretty sure today the owner of the local plumbing shop came out, along with his son. No disagreement on needing to replace it, the work was done fast, properly.
Here's the old and the new. That 90 is the part that runs straight to the heater inlet. The old obviously had a void on the joint.

Save Spike!!! I would lure and then release that cat far away from your property. Road trip!!!!
Oh lord Mark. Sorry for those issues you’ve been having but I love that you are making them make good on their work. Thumbs up!
Hopefully all is well now with it all.
Hump day!!!!

Tracy nailed my first thought about Bobby the Cat...trap and release far away from Spike. Unless he has come to depend on humans to keep it fed, then it's questionable whether or not it would survive on it's own.
Holding their feet to the fire, or soldering iron! Love it, Mark! PITA for you I know, but making a business stand behind their work is important

Happy Saturday all!
It’s a nice and cool fall day here so we are going to a new to us pumpkin patch to soak up the season.
I hope you all enjoy the day!

Sounds like fun, Tracy! Enjoying the cooler weather here too
Rainy here today, but tomorrow should be nude for an Apple festival and pulling the boat out of the water.
We went apple picking, pumpkin picking, saw a bunch of little farm animals, and bought some awesome homemade apple butter (keto be damned) and fall scented candles! It was nice spending the afternoon together. (Lauren and Justin joined us as well)
Tomorrow we are taking Maddie coat and boots shopping. That’s always an adventure because she is fussy about EVERYTHING! (Sensory issues...too tight, too itchy, too fuzzy, etc) Wish us luck?!?

Everyone have fun today!
Hoping for some much needed rain today and tonight. It's Diddly Squat Day for me. Something snitched my motivation, I think it's name is Humidity
