Sorry to hear that. Had to sever a friendship myself a few months ago after 37 years, but different reasons.

Hope your ankle is doing ok. How’s that going?

In the meantime, here’s a pic of someone who always shows up for morning tummy time.

Oh yeah

Protest in Snohomish WA!

Dogs are funny sometimes. B apparently decided I have to sit where she likes. Otherwise, she wanted to go upstairs and wake up my wife.

But if I’m in the right spot, she’s OK settling down, and letting wife sleep a bit more.

B made herself a bed this time. I swear all those couch cushions were nicely organized before.

It’s the simple things that matter. Friends, family, spouse, and yes doggies too.

Day 762 of having a beagle.

5:30am back to be for 30m
6:01am out of bed and out to the yard
6:10a B-fast was too fast. Threw it up and re-ate it
6:12a cleaned the carpet
6:20-6:50a chest, back, and tummy scratches

Guess who wants outside again? Thank god for coffee!

Hello! B here decided it was time to get up at 5:30am. A routine-driven little angel, I haven’t slept past 6am in 2+ years.

Beagles are the best! She is a beagle right? Here’s a recent pic of Bea:

Somebody jumped up and wanted to make sure I knew it was time for afternoon walk and dinner. At least I got a nap though.

Just going to sip some wine and chill for a while.

Rotisserie Day 2. Got a small pork loin. Roasted to 145F and rested 15 min to finish almost perfectly at 152F. This is fun!

I took my new rotisserie for a test spin today with a small boneless prime rib roast. To familiarize with it before next week.

Spice rub was equal parts salt, pepper, onion, garlic, brown sugar and ancho chili powder.

Rescued from heat at 115F and rest for 15m. Came out pretty good!😊

At 3:59pm yesterday, someone was worried I’d be late for 4pm dinner and a walk.

Daughter came home with an Indian cookbook, so we started with this soup recipe. I swapped the 4 cups water with a quart of chicken stock.

Also made garlic naan using kerrygold butter, 1/2 bulb of garlic, and 1 TBSP parsley flakes.

We’ll be making this again!!

Beagle wrapped in the blanket, trying to go to bed.🙂

Thought I’d share this pic I came across a while back of lightning striking a sailboat mast.

Seems like an appropriate metaphor right now.
