Sad day. Our old dog had a catastrophic failure of his spine about midnight so it was a mad rush to the vet's clinic to no avail. Our Bob is gone.

Oh Sister I am so sorry to hear about Bob. I know you did all you could and I know he knew how much you loved him. It is always so hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet. Thoughts are with you and your husband.

Thank you, Browncoat1….
Bob was a great dog and we were privileged to know him for more than ten years.
It's finally Friday. Got big storms and lots of rain yesterday…but the weekend
is supposed to be nice.

Glad there was no falling involved w/ the gutter cleaning. One of my least favorite jobs, but one that must be done.

Beautiful weekend here. Sunny and mid 70s both days. Put some miles on the bike, got Sjöfn out for walks and play time, and took her to the park on Sunday for a long walk.

Supposed to hit 79 today and not a cloud in the sky. Of course they are calling for your neck of the woods to send us some rain tomorrow Sister. I am hoping it blows north of us, but who can say.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Ignore the fact that the day that shall remain nameless is here. Soon it will be gone.

Glad you got to get some time in the saddle Sister!

Had so much rain over last week I had to break out the lawn mower and cut the lawn as the grass had grown like crazy. The yard is nice and green though.

Rained for over 12 hours yesterday, but finally stopped around midnight last night and dried up enough by this morning I could ride without issue. Cloudy and cool today and tomorrow, but rain they are saying will hold off until Saturday night or Sunday morning. Hoping for the latter as I need to switch out the head gasket on Lola and adjust the throttle cable on the wife's bike. My Harley could stand a good washing and detailing as well.

Hump Day indeed! Let's hope the rest of the week passes as quickly as the first part!

Got caught in a brief shower on the way home last night, but both the bike and I could use a bath so no harm done. We did get a bit of rain overnight, but rode in this morning. Supposed to be partly sunny and warm today and the weekend is shaping up to be sunny and warmer.

Did you watch Vikings last night? WTF?!? We only have one episode left so hope the season finale is a great one. At least Game of Thrones is back on now and I have Daredevil in the Netflix list to watch.

Friday folks! Hope everyone has a great one.

I believe I know how the Vikings season finale will play out. Let's see if my hunch is accurate. Shared my thoughts with my wife, but will avoid potential spoilers here.

Going to watch episode 4 of Daredevil tonight. Enjoying it so far. Like how dark they have made it, yet they still make references to the events from the Avengers movie. Very cool. Like that they are staying consistent with the MCU.

Game of Thrones second episode was good, but there are just so many characters to keep track of, so many storylines running around you almost need a program to keep up with the show.

Rained Saturday afternoon into the evening which made it damp and a bit humid Sunday. Luckily the rain held off yesterday and today is nice and only supposed to get up to the low 70s.

Big Suck is behind us. Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Earth Day and Hump Day? Win! We planted a new tree in the yard to celebrate and with all the rain we have received of late it should thrive.

Cool this morning (45 degrees), but it certainly warmed up quickly. 19 degrees in less than 3 hours. Now if that small band of thunderstorms will pass north or south of this afternoon it will be a good day.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Stay away from crotchety old folks Sister. They're mean and who has time for that? LOL

Glad you dodged that bullet Sister.

I would not be overly concerned about the finale tonight. Got a feeling things will work out. Hate to see it go as it will be February before it returns. Gotham ends on Monday too so that's another show I will be without a while. At least I have Daredevil and a few other series in my Netflix list to hold me over.

Supposed to rain here all weekend long. Have to cut the grass this afternoon as it needs it again after all the rain we have had over the past two weeks.

North Carolina Pickle Festival in Mount Olive, NC this Saturday. The wife won the Mrs North Carolina Pickle Queen title so it will be her first appearance with the new title. Not a fan of pickles, but there is supposed to be a good classic car and motorcycle show as well as other festival activities to keep me out of trouble:

Hope everyone has a great Thor's Day!

The season finale of Vikings was indeed awesome! Why do I keep hoping that Lagertha and Ragnar will get back together? Especially after her talk at the coffin...... Set up for next year does look good. Rolla...what are you doing???

Sorting through a warehouse full of motorcycle stuff sounds like a lot of fun to me! Wish I was close enough to help. :)

Hope everyone has had a good week. Frigga's Day! Weekend is in sight.

We BOTH keep hoping Ragnar and Lagertha will reunite, Browncoat1; although Lagertha is very proud and may not do what we want, even if she'd like to.
Let's see…got SO MUCH accomplished yesterday…at least ten pallets emptied, shelved and organized…still many, many more to go. We had a good crew of five working yesterday…today it's down to three, but we'll do what we can…starting to see open spaces in that warehouse so that's really good.
Hoping that Dany's dragons behave tonight.

I know. Glad to know I am not the only one hoping that Lagertha and Ragnar reunite. I know they are both proud, Lagertha more so of the two, but at what point do you admit you made a mistake rather than be unhappy?

Good on getting so much accomplished. Bet the warehouse is coming along nicely.

Ten pallets?!? Whoa, but that's a lot of parts.
