Well heck. None of my quotes came with me. And I have NO idea what I quoted.:confused:

Nice wall art so far! I have no current stuffs yet of the fall variety.

[Woolburr]

Telephoto and steep mountain side.

WoolyDan, I just looked through your recent shots that were with Z and sock. Love 16,31, 34. 34 is my fav.

Hey Sid.....did you have to tie Chris down to get the hat shot?

[poppie guy]

Hey Sid.....did you have to tie Chris down to get the hat shot?

It was really weird. We got out near Silver Falls and he told me he found a hat that made him look really cool and asked me to take some portraits.:confused::confused: I guess maybe he's beginning to see the light about hats!!:D:D

I still think he needs one with ear flaps. ;)

Been a lot of sad news going around here lately: A friend's mother passed away, One of the members of the church choir's wife had ovarian cancer. My wife's co-worker and friend passed away, another co-worker of hers had a son in the hospital for pneumonia, my boss' son had a collapsed lung, and I found out the owner of a local restaurant we habitually frequent passed away this week.

That one was a total shock. I knew this guy. He was always friendly to us, when we would come in he'd smile and talk to Christopher. He was always present at his restaurant. Just didn't wake up one morning.. Dang. It's a family business so, I'm sure one of the kids will take over the main operations, but it won't be the same without him sitting at that one table, watching the TV as the hustle and bustle of the restaurant goes on around him.

[Permagrin]

Yeah it is.....

Very sad Mike. I learned young how fragile life is and like many here have lost so many friends along the way. I heard last night of another one of the old crowd died. Live every day like you are dying, you are.

I had my own scares and scrapes with death including being told I had only months to live (they were wrong, suckers) and it put everything in a very different perspective. There is a lot I don't sweat anymore. Life is too stinking short, time to live it.

Very well said, Z. Just the other day I was thinking of my grandparents. Both in their 90's. What must it be like to know that you probably only have a few more years to live? Of course there are others that are not old that are in the same position. I can't imagine what it must be like. Darn depressing to say the least.

Hi Dano :) You guys are all late night.
Come Tuesday I may be up ALL night. Hubby is going to be working nights for a bit. I may just switch my times around too as I am up half the night anyway.:lol:

Good luck finding a comfy chair....the moving company seems to have misplaced all the good ones. Looks like we got some church pews by mistake.

What is it with aircraft and rivets ???

I reckon take away the engines and 50% of the weight would be rivets.

Well, yeah... But, I keep a thick piece of cardboard taped over the lens of mine so I don't accidentally end up with a picture of my ugly mug.

[Chet]

Good thinking. Now where's that tape?

[Skrim17]

Morning kids!!

Gorgeous photos, Dan I loved the first shot at the graveyard place, and the moon was stunning.

Jay your firs shot was FANTASTIC.

Mike I am loving all of the Christopher shots lately.

hoping to get some fall color shots myself this weekend.

[cfpackerfan]

Carry on. Thanks Jon for doing the heavy lifting!Thanks guys! Love the name. :)

g'night roomies. *willy nilly hugs everyone (even Terri)*LOL!

The rain has finally made it here *sigh* I do love the sound of rain on the roof.I need it to STOP raining here. *sigh* It's been raining on and off for days. I finally figured out how to keep the wee pups outside during the day, so the clean up is easier, and I can't do it if it's raining. *sigh*

To bad. I'm in the comfy chair.Figures. :p

Rumour has it that they did not survive C@t"s dogs :oops: I've been frequenting the thrift shops in preparation, I'll get them all moved in today. It's an ...eclectic, yeah that's it... eclectic collection. :lol: You'll like it. :)

ROFL....20+ dogs would probably raise a wee bit of hell with the furniture. No doubt about it.
If we didn't allow them on the furniture it might last longer, LOL. But what's the fun in that?

Just checking in.

*panics* Chet... your desk is more disturbing than you are.
Just sayin.

[cfpackerfan]

Love the photos so far! Wooly Dan, your photos look like paintings. Really beautiful colors.
Mike, Christoper is adorable as usual. :)
Sorry to hear about the bad news. :(

:lol:

Doesn't every one?

No. I don't want a webcam affixed to my ceiling, computer or anywhere else.


Someone could compromise your computer and use the camera to spy on you. I don't like the idea of being watched without my permission or knowledge.
The thought of streaming video of me staring at the screen and picking my nose nauseates me.

[Chet]

*panics* Chet... your desk is more disturbing than you are.

:oops: I've been frequenting the thrift shops in preparation, I'll get them all moved in today. It's an ...eclectic, yeah that's it... eclectic collection. :lol: You'll like it. :)

No. I don't want a webcam affixed to my ceiling, computer or anywhere else.


Someone could compromise your computer and use the camera to spy on you. I don't like the idea of being watched without my permission or knowledge.
The thought of streaming video of me staring at the screen and picking my nose nauseates me.

One of my two monitors has a built-in web cam. I really do have a piece of paper taped over the lens...

[Skrim17]

It has happened 4 or 5 times, but the last 2 have been the worst. He feels better now and had a light supper last night and a good long walk before Billy came home. Billy is over there now checking on him and feeding/walking again. He can't have large meals, so we try to do 3-4 small ones every day.

I'm safe. I was using my camera with the 10-22 lens over head on a tripod with my remote. It's all good.

I would be concerned about some sort of twisting that they can't see on the X-rays.
When Montana had her X-rays done, all they could see was gas.
Is there any way that they can check for a twist in the intestines without actually going in for surgery?

[Skrim17]

not that I know of Cat, he is very old as well. he'll be 12 at the end of November, pretty sure we don't want to put him thru that but it is Billy's call. 12 is old for most dogs, very old for a large Akita.

Are the intestines not visible on an x-ray?

[Skrim17]

they are, but mostly for gas and blockages, not necessarily twists.

I didnt' realize he was that old. I wouldn't put him through the trauma of surgery either.

just checking in to say g'night, me hearties.

DO pirates or captains say g'night like that? I'm thinking not.


ah well. Wee mouse do things our own way ;)

*grabs rope, releases belaying pin and swings off into the night*
:lol:
Very well said, Z. Just the other day I was thinking of my grandparents. Both in their 90's. What must it be like to know that you probably only have a few more years to live? Of course there are others that are not old that are in the same position. I can't imagine what it must be like. Darn depressing to say the least.
I don't know about depressing, depends on the individual. In some cases, I would think that a person could just let go of inhibitions and reach out and grab enjoyment as they saw it, not weigh it against social standards of what is acceptable and play the 'maybe someday' game that so many of us do *shrug*
OK I will take this one then

Did that engine come out of a Shackleton? I see it's built for contra-rotating props.

Hey you are good 10 out of 10 :-)

Rolls-Royce Griffon 57a/58 Piston Engine - 12-cylinder, 60’ Vee, pressure liquid-cooled, two-speed, single-stage supercharged producing 1960 hp (2435 hp with water methanol) at maximum power.
Didn't understand one bit of that, but I do love to listen to folk who have a passion about something :D

Have a great Saturday, everyone! Off to watch some football and volleyball.

In the words of Larry, the interim king of the Xleckternians,

"Hey, I didn't order arsenic in that."

Apparently, his idea of "interim" and the Xleckternian's idea of "interim" were vastly different.

Death, the Great Leveler, doesn't play by any rules we know except that he shows up unannounced and usually unwanted. I'm sorry for the loss that many of you have.

I'm with Terri, tho'. Perhaps it's my Mother's side of the family. Instead of waiting for the end, the Robinson side tends to look at the ol' Biological Clock and say, "Dang, is that all that's left? Better put a move on..."

[puddlepirate44]

And since I'm just sorta rambling here, again, does anyone else have a foreign "friend" on Facebook? Like Tommy, Pekka or Claire? Then they post something in their native tongue, right? Anyone else try to read it? What, like we're checking for typos? Do you question a language that uses three "h's" in a row in a word? And where does one find a keyboard that has the extra letters they use?

Thanks to Jon and TD for the new thread.

Wow, that is noisy. :? I think I just shared the unprocessed shot. :lol: Oh well.

Hi all.

ball game day, Ducks have already won
Bama better win
LSU better beat Auburn
CSU is going to get murdered by UTAH :(
UNA could go either way.

There should be a new law implemented in any state that there is an SEC team. Close all car dealerships because all we do is sit here and stare at one another while people are at home watching football. In other words I might have a few minutes to hang around today.

ZANE I saw the photos of you and Ms. Zane - Very nice!

Nope. She's lying. The whole auction was done in the Euro.

I guess you could say we "support" the Ducks because they represent Oregon so well right now, but we're not fans. We're both OSU Beaver Believers. :D

Yeah, sorta. Oregon doesn't have a pro football team, so a lot of our football energy goes into the OSU/U of O teams. The Annual Civil War is intense.

Morning.
I've spent the morning trying to find a good rated but somewhat reasonably priced dog food. We'd been buying kirkland for our dogs (it's a 3 star) but they've changed it and all of the sudden our dogs are coughing (like allergies) or sneezing etc. So, after a bunch of research, we're moving to this:
http://www.amazon.com/Taste-Wild-Prairie-Formula-15-Pound/dp/B000W5U5H6/ref=pd_sim_k_3

Has anyone ever used it with their dogs?
If our dogs do well on it, we'll probably buy the catfood version of it for the cats too.

Same news on the Joppa dog, lots of gas in him but no visible blockage. They gave him some anti-gas type meds and sent him home.

glad he's going to be okay. Will he always been on those meds?
I don't blame you for not wanting to put him through surgery. I wouldn't want to either. Poor guy.

Jay, have you seen the Shackelton at Pima? I have (as yet unprocessed) pictures of it, but I don't know what variant it is. My research tells me it's either a MR.1A or an AEW.2.

[cfpackerfan]

Lisa, I know a few people who use that food, and they have high opinions of it.
Most of the folks we work with use Canidae. It's some of the best food you can get (in this area), all natural, holistic, and is supposed to be good for all ages, and all health issues.

We don't use it because it's too much $ for the amount of dogs we have. If we only had our dogs, we'd be using it as well. It's great for their health and their coats.

http://www.canidae.com/

They have a cat version too, I think it's called Felidae?

I looked at that, in fact I almost bought that. It's the same price range so if our dogs don't like the one, I'll try the other. I'll check into the catfood too. One of our cats is barfing up the goodlife stuff. They both love it but it doesn't love one of them.

[Permagrin]

thanks Cat.

[Skrim17]

Lisa we will keep the meds if he gets symptomatic again, but it isn't something for him to take all the time. Right now he's on a white rice and chicken broth diet till his appetite comes back.
