Waiting for a friend of a friend to show up shortly... She is moving here from St. Louis. We're going to tour parts of Seattle and check out a number of bars and pubs (in this little old time part of Seattle, called Ballard - a Scandinavian part of Seattle, where the guys from Deadliest Catch are from & hang out) as she is looking for a bartender gig, while she looks for a real job, and wants to check out the local scene. I better check to see if my Uber APP is working OK! No driving for us!

A commonly seen T-shirt there: Ballard is a quaint drinking village, with a fishing problem!

I bed for the family pet. More like a family horse.

What did I do? I replied to this post to move it back to the top of the list!

Took my newest apprentice to her 1st training class...



Puppy training. Impressed with her obedience after seeing the crazy puppies in that class.

Great looking wiremunky. My dogs are 2 and 3 years old. They are the crazy puppies you see in that class but all grown up without the training :).

Thought it was going to be a normal day. Got out of the car and dropped to the ground from an unbearable pain in my lower back. Trip to the emergency room revealed a kidney stone. The doctor told me "this day is going to really suck for you." She was right. Even dosed with Loritab couldn't stop the pain. Worst day of my life! Never thought any pain could be so intense.

And unfortunately, its not quite over.....

Oh sh*t -- that blows. Ive never had one, but my son and my brother have. So painful my son passed-out. My brother said it's what childbirth must feel like for a guy. He passed a couple of stones about the size of grains of rice. Said he thought he was going to die. I hope they give you some good drugs, and best of luck. Man that must be horrible. (Knocking on wood).

Tore down a old Elan/Crestron rack and Rebuilding it with Savant!

Fun fun..

I got my new drone/quadcopter and took it out for a spin.
DJI Phantom 3 Professional.
I'm not any good at it, yet, but it's loads of fun anyway.

Try inject-able Morphine. My husband has had 3 of them. One looked like a spiked pea.

After you're done passing the stone, have it anyazed to see what it's made of. The doc can then tell you which foods to avoid to prevent a re-occurrence.

For example, my husband needs to avoid tea and spinach. The spinach isn't much of a problem for him. :-)

Hope you feel better soon!!!

Yeah she really picked up the sitting in the passenger seat and staying quickly. The crazy puppies are entertaining, this class is all 12 months and younger. Amazing to see how quickly they catch on in the class. Mine likes to nip people lightly and jump so I figured I better get those habits under control.

Stopped by a neighborhood shoe store that lost it's lease... Red-Wing / New Balance/ Clarkes and a lot of other good shoes @ 80% off! Not a big / shoes / clothes guy, but I couldn't turn down getting a few pair & saving a TON of money!
People were buying sh*t left and right!

People in Seattle must be crazy if they pay for sh*t at stores.

I would have you grab any new balance they have in 14EEEE.....with your luck, you would get mugged at the bus station, kicked in the nuts, and get your wallet.....and my shoes stolen. :)

Well, people in the area do have a lot of BULLSHIT to get rid of... LOL
