The Original Old Farts Club

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Good morning old farts. Got out early for the dog walk this morning before the heat. The new puppy is doing well on the leash and is also doing pretty well with house training. Goes every time I take her out but also occasionally when I don’t but I’m hoping she will do better soon. 2nd night in the kennel much less crying and only let her out once so that’s better too already. Have planned to tend some garden work both inside and out and take a few pics for my garden page. Also have to take BB to the vet this morning still. Hope everyone stays cool. Sounds like we are all heating up again.

Before we had dog doors, when I brought a new puppy into the house, I would carry them over to a newspaper beside the back door that I had previously peed on myself.

Without fail, that became their emergency spot until they learned to hold it until we went outside.

All my animals have a first and middle name and of course a last too.

All of mine have one, but depending on why they've pissed me off, they get various others while I cool down.

Currently a sweltering 77 degrees, and said to get all the way up to an unbearable 82 by afternoon.
Supposed to have rain coming in. I'll believe it when I see it. Gonna pick up what little trash is on the road just in case, 'cause the stuff glues down if'n it gets wet. Other than that, it's gonna be an easy August 1st at Rancho Hippie.

Had 'em checked this week. Both are perfect.

This shit started back when I was in the seventh grade. After hitting the ground (and my head) a few times, I got hauled down to the U of M hospital and had every test known to man done on me. At the end of a week of torture, they said they didn't have a clue, and that if I could feel the "spells" coming on, get my head down and get low so I didn't have as much distance from my noggin to the floor. Pretty much grew out of it past my mid 20s or so. Got tore up from the floor up last night, and I'm kinda thinkin' that was what caused today's little drama. Still feeling a little weird, but I am a little weird, so I guess I'm in character.

Best to you there H - must be unpleasant having those "auras" and knowing what might be coming. You will know how to look after yourself

^^^Yep. Cures damn near everything.

Including the dementia I've heard

So weird this dog is litter box trained. Never knew dogs would use one. We have a cardboard box with litter in it but hope to get rid of that soon. Glad I don’t have to pee on the paper for her to get it. Leave that box in the room we are in tho just in case she gets the urge…

Nice walk today...

@Hippie, do what you gotta do my friend but take care of what ever is going on.

Watering the girls. My new starts are coming along just fine. The GMO is reaching for the sky...(light).

Back later.

So, just got my homeowners insurance bill for next year. It's gone up almost 30% over 1 year. I asked my agent what in the world is going on and his explanation was simple. Obviously inflation but I said inflation is only about 8%. He said it's not just inflation it's combined with the major fires that happened in Boulder which burned about five six hundred houses. But the looting and fires in major cities across the United States. We all share in the cost of rebuilding all that. Really! So just keep this in mind when we have a Summer of Love like we had a summer ago it creates a giant s-hit sandwich and we all have to take a bite.

That and my property taxes come to over 8,000 a year now. There's going to come a point where that is not sustainable. Guess I can build a Hut on a beach somewhere.

Wow! That cross-subsidy sounds more like extortion

My brother paved his driveway in texas and his taxes went from a little over 2000.00 a year to over 4000.00 a year that was just taxes and a few years back on 2 acres. My mom sold the ranch in south texas, dirt/rock driveway and around 450 acres at over 12000.00 a year, but texas has no state tax so they get all of it in property taxes.
