I just spent 3 days fighting with the internet. Sling stopped working on the kitchen TV. Other apps like Prime and Philo worked fine and Sling worked on the other TV. Did all the usual stuff multiple times, reinstalled Sling, rebooted the router, restarted the Firestick. Just discovered it was a loose connection, the USB from the Firestick to the TV wasn't pushed all the way into the Firestick. The gap was no more than 1/16th". No idea why it only affected Sling.
Had an episode of Oak Island to watch today and it was driving me crazy. Watched that, and there's nothing good on TV tonight, so it's Skyrim time.
We went out for a meal this afternoon at a nice fish restaurant. On the way out I took a vape outside the door and there was another guy vaping nearby. I remember in the old days when you saw someone else vaping you would say hello and compare vapes and so forth. That doesn't seem to happen any more. Guess it was a rare and special event back then.
Action movie here. Youngest daughter and her wife picked Black Panther Wakanda Forever on Disney+ for tonight. I enjoyed the first Black Panther movie.
I never see anyone vaping up in the north woods. Back in the city I see a few here and there. Still see many smoking cigs though.
I ran into a guy last time I went out on calibrations at a customer. He was running an old beat up Geekvape mod and I’m not sure what the tank was.
You should have asked.
That reminds me of the bedtime ritual my daughter and I had when she was little.
Me: Nighty night
Her: Sleepy tight
Me: Don't led the beddy bugs bite
Her: Stay with me
Me: I'll stay with you
She had a fear of being left alone, which she didn't get over until she was in middle school. She didn't have to be with me, but she couldn't be alone.
We went to the vet today and it pretty much went as expected. They had to er, do some "cleaning out" of the rear end but no x-rays or blood work so we dodged a bullet there. She seems better now. Paid $177 to the vet's place, could've been much worse. Still upset that the people who gave us the dog KNEW about her condition and still gave her to us without doing anything.
Good morning folks,
not much happening here with me, I've been a real lazy person.
Back to your wife, I don't like the way she does it and to be honest it pisses me off.
I respect that illness or a serious incident in the family may mean that a dog has to be relocated, but that is the only thing that is accepted in my book.
Of the four I've owned myself, one didn't care about the house, the other three were extremely focused on whether all the furniture was in the correct place. I don't think it's good for a dog mentally to be moved from family to family.

I hope the new one fits in with you, and settles in nicely.

Unfortunately, there are many people who are like that, let's hope the vet has fixed the health problems.
Totally agree Mate!!!
To be Brutally Honest . . . . . . In the USA a good amount of people Should Never be allowed to have an animal of Any Kind. They are completely clueless about animal ownership. I've zero respect for those types of people. None whatsoever.
People who get animal after animal and then
My wife, a professional who worked with all kinds of animals her whole life saw and dealt with many such owners. Over decades I heard every possible imbecilic story imaginable. At some point it should be made Crystal Clear to certain folks that owning a pet is Not For Them.
Never have we "returned" a canine. High quality breeding - - - we have many high quality breeders but here in the USA high quality breeding is lacking. There are too many "backyard" breeders who should never be in the animal business. Those are two reasons why there are so many "rescue animals" in the USA. Puppy mills are a major problem. Those "feed" the rescue shelters and humane societies all across the country. It's big business ($$$) and very shady.
Shutting down low quality breeders and puppy mills would solve much of the problem. Forcing people to take mandatory classes on animal ownership, before they're ever allowed an animal, would weed out the many who should never own an animal.
ETA: I could go on with Much more AND many Indisputable Facts, but I won't.

That reminds me of a husky that kept getting loose that people were posting on Nextdoor about a while back. The dog would get loose repeatedly and someone would find it and take care of it for days without the owner coming to look for it. A couple people wanted to adopt it feeling it was not being cared for. I never did hear more about it. I wonder if someone kept it.
It looks like we either got rain or snow that melted. They were calling for rain followed by snow but doesn’t look like we got it. I just hope it’s not black ice.
A very good and dear friend of ours has been breeding German Shepherds and Belgian Malinoises since the 80s. She stopped selling to "the public" many years ago.
Her words: "Much of Joe and Mary Public should never be allowed to own a canine. My canines are more intelligent than they are."
She only sells highly trained canines to Law Enforcement Agencies. Her canines all have "very sound" European working backgrounds. Every GSD we've owned since the 80s has come from her.

It was a little slippery this morning. Especially on the bridge leading into downtown. It was misting rain and 27 the whole way to work.
Morning all, 28 here. I got out the crock pot and started a chuck roast with carrots, potatoes and onion . May go back to bed.
My gd in NM has a Belgian and German Shepard’s of her own. Her business is training dogs, not breeding them.
