Congratulations to ALL of you. Here’s to health and happiness all the days to come.

Congrats Grandpa !!!

Evening Yard!

The runt is no longer the runt. She gave birth on Wednesday. A tiny baby boy. He was a bit premature so he will be in NICU for a little bit to catch up. Otherwise healthy though.

I just tried calling Ray but only got his machine. If I hear anything I will post it here.

I might try giving Ray a call Saturday.

I reckon I’ll write him a snail mail letter. I mean we need our Connecticut Yankee in King Authors Court. and yeah I know he doesn’t live in Connecticut.

I'm also worried.

Good morning yard. I’m worried about Ray. I’ve sent him PM’s and Emails and haven’t heard anything back.

Good evening Yard. Really quiet around here.

We had to go to Springfield today and it was a consistent 88 degrees. Yes, the A/C is very nice.

Got to I THINK 87 today, WAY too hot. So we turned on the A/C for the first time this year. Boy do it feel good!

Just turned it down to 76 and it feels cold. Guess getting rid of the humidity helped quite a bit.

I hope things get better for both of you. We just returned from Joplin, took the General for an overdue eye exam and new glasses. On the way home we stopped for some pizza at our favorite place.

Low Potassium can be life threatening. My Dads wife went into a Coma due to low potassium levels and a few other issues.

Unfortunately, the runt is back in the ER tonight.

Sorry to hear about her MB. HAD TO TAKE Patty to the ER the other morning, she felt “weird” potassium was really low and they said her kidney function has decreased. Her Nephrologist ordered some more labs (done this morning) so we will see.

The runt has managed 1 more trip to the ER. Poor kid can't catch a break lately.

But, the family get together turned out really well. I'm also glad I get a short break before going back to work.

After a brief storm last night the heat is really making it humid today.

82 and sunny. To hot outside.

Got er' done. I got all the grass mowed before the possible storm / rain overnight. Looks like even more rain from Tuesday through to the weekend. Lots of rest and time in the man cave ahead for me.

Yes, a nice day today and tomorrow is supposed to be good too, with only a slight chance of showers overnight. Looks like I will finally be able to mow this jungle.

Howdy Dogs. Supposed to be a mostly sunny day with a high of 77. Not a bad day.

Good late evening Scrap Yard. Another easy day today.

Good evening Yard. Today turned out to be pretty nice so we did a bunch of running around and then I took the General to dinner. A nice day.

Wow, a bakers dozen. Who’s gonna make the donuts.

But seriously, how is the not so runt doing?

I hope you all have a great get-together M/B.

He is not one of us, yet he is a BIG part of us. Bill, aka Coyotebc.
He is not a citizen of the United States, yet he ALWAYS remembers us on Memorial Day.
He IS one of us Dogs, and also as a Brother. A man I AM PROUD to call brother.

This caring, this willingness to recognize those NOT of his own nation humbles me, and makes me ashamed that we (I) do not give him and his countrymen that same remembrance and gratitude.

I hope you can find it within your caring heart to forgive me.

Bill, you and I have “talked” for many hours and for our own reasons I pray for you my brother and will continue to ask GOD to keep you and yours safe and live a satisfying life. Do not let the tragedies of this world keep you from enjoying what GOD has given to us all.


Peace and rest to you and all those you care for my brother.
Randy
