A cow shampooed and blown dry, ready for showtime!

Morning all.

Oof, on the nose Phyl...speedy recovery.
Glad to hear Tim is much better, tsk.

Going to try to get my snowblower started this morning. Crossing my fingers. I have the manual on my phone. It's electric start so a few more "moves" than a mower. Plug in, engine start button, choke closed as cold, and fuel valve open....then pull the cord....we shall see. It's been sitting in my shop for a few years.
Seafoam in it though.

North on 53 Photography posted this beautiful picture of a pine marten posing in a bog...northern MN.

some bounce
Since I wanted to save energy to clean house later I skipped the pool but got out of the house for fresh air and a hot shower at the Y. It looks like Camper has a cold now. Darn it.

PHYL... HUGS
((Lani))
Thanx for the Crazy Horse update. We plan to visit next year.

Clynn, can Erin take some trash to the dump?   When Ed first goes into the Mole Hole he will know a whirlwind cleaner went thru there!   Just make sure Harley doesn’t tell  and that Ed doesn’t  read the Beak!
Lani, I think I missed your post on your friend’s husband’s death!   Always sad but even more so when it happens at a holiday time.
I am a Packer fan so enjoyed the game!   The Chiefs have a great  qb but do not seem able/to move the ball down the field unless he throws it!   Hope all is good at your house!
Tig, sounds like you are better but sorry about Camper.
Owl strike at M 15  last night but he is okay!
Old Guy, where are you?

Good Morning Beakers


Phyl - Glad to hear that Jim is feeling better, but oh no, you fell down and broke your nose!  Are you in alot of pain?  Thanks for the DOTY, RRP Post and 365. 

Lani - I think Bradley will.  She is the apple of his eye. 

tsk OK on the insulin.  Good luck to Tim this morning.  Waiting for your next report. 

clynn - Again, LOVE the dried fruit! Yes, they will have so much fun with the drums...at their house!    Oh, all that snow in Västerbotten, Sweden...no thank you!

karen - Today is the closing for the new house.  They are excited.

E4E - Cute morning pic!

kb - LOL, cow shampooed and blown dry, ready for showtime!  Good luck with the snow blower.

tig - Glad that are you feeling better, but oh no...poor Camper!

[kbshcb]

Ha!..She (snowblower) started right up for me!....now we shall see when it snows how well I can move the machine in snow and changed the chute angle etc....

No need to hurry, snow!

I downloaded the manual on my phone so just went step by step...didn't try to move it forward obviously as on tar...now at least I know it's full of gas and will start!...

A few more times at it wouldn't hurt to become muscle memory.

Off to my only 500 piece puzzle with large pieces...much more enjoyable for me.

[Lani]

Hi Lisa 

Kb, I can't believe that's a real cow! I've seen cows cleaned up for a show, but, that is too much! LOL!!! Gorgeous Pine Marten. Good luck with snow blower...  I have an Royal Albatross update right after this one.

Eagles, there were great games yesterday! Poor KC Chiefs Mahomes

karen, Talons crossed for a good doctors appt....  Maybe he can help advise about the vertigo.... I love Pralines/Cream too... Poor KC Mahomes spent a few times on the ground... Good game though! God, I hate those owl strikes at SWFL! They are getting more frequent. 

Clynn, love your morning pics.... LOL! Sister Rat!  ... 356 cans! I'm almost afraid to think what Ed's going to buy with the $$! You know he's going to hunt for replacements.  {{{Erin and Sydney}}} .. Crazy Horse Memorial will be an magnificent tribute... I hope Ed and Kelsey are having a good time! Oh my, look at all that snow in Sweden!

{{{Phyl}}} glad to hear Jim is better, but very sorry to hear of your accident and broken nose! Ouch! Sending healing prayers and get some well needed rest.
Thanks for RRP update pics/articles. Beautiful American Kestrel next to downtown La Crosse nest box.... beautiful Western Cattle Egrets, an new bred of herons I'm not familiar with. It is written they like the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones.

BL  Do you have a pic of Ralph to post?

Tsk here's a picture of F.M.R. (Foul Mouthed Ralph) with the previous owners mother in 2015.
He would make Mrs. Kenny blush too and she was a Woodstock alumni.    
3 yrs before Kenny passed in 2018. 

How's Tim feeling today ?
Much better we hope. 

[kbshcb]

Thanks, Lani for all the new albatross info!...will listen to the video too..

I posted right before you I got the snowblower started and running!...I'm actually quite proud of myself. I have felt a little intimidated by it, but no more.

tig - so cool you are going to visit Crazy Horse monument...while there you are not too far away from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation where Ollie man was born!

[karengramke]

Good reports today Lani.  Thanks for keeping us up tp date on the Royal As!

I was very pleased with the cardiology visit today!
I do not have to go back for a year!

[LisaG1967]

kb - Good job on getting the snow blower going!

BrokenLug - Great pic of F.M.R.

Lani - Adorable Santa kitty this morning, and thanks for the Royal update. 

karen - Glad you had a good visit with cardiologist. 

I was waiting to see if tsk had any news yet, but I guess they are still at hospital.

[baziunc]

Oh my gosh! I made a faux pas!!    
 By the way the DOTY in yesterday's --- Saturday's post didn't list Japanese Tempura! 

Thanks for the laughs---with all the crap going on in my life right now ---And there's more than I chat about. I sure needed them 
Merci mille fois.

Phyl, it isn't a big deal!!  But au contraire, your post about Days of the Year on Saturday, Dec. 2nd. says, "Japanese tempura."  

Days of the Year

Candle Day
Candles offer more than just light — fill your home with sweet scents and transform any space into a warm oasis.

Play Basketball Day
The fast-paced game that echoes with the rhythmic bounce of the ball and the swish of the net, where teamwork reigns supreme.

National Fritters Day
Tuck into a whole variety of deep-fried, battered foods and sample snacks from all over the world, whether Japanese tempura or Indonesian pisang goreng.

PHYL   OH NO  Broke your nose - You and Jim are under a dark cloud!!  Hope it doesn't hurt too much.  " Black eyes" too I bet.

CLYNN  $17.80   Not bad.  Tim's never been on insulin but should be .  We were trying to get blood sugar down and were doing pretty good until this happened.  I slept in the master "big bed" last night and was bed partner with Lulu who was glued to my back or stomach from 10:15 to 5:30 this AM  LOLOL     Dying to know if Ed will miss what has been hauled off in the truck       Saw Crazy Horse back in the 80's when it was a mere outline. Such dedication through generations.  Some snowstorm in Sweden

KAREN  The docs have to give you a "bye" - a pass for the holidays.  How did the cardiologist visit go? Reading on I see it went well.  Did your HHA go with?  Several days now and Piper remains OK  This is a good thing.

KB   Doesn't even look like a cow...   On our electric start , we have a black rubbery button we have to press in slowly 3 times to prime the engine.  YAY   It works I read on..   I picked out a 500 piece to start but still haven't set anything thing up to start.  Still have lots of Xmas stuff to do first.  Am behind with this glitch!

TIG   Golly what is going on with the Beak  Hope you don't catch the cold...

LANI  Another gorgeous view for the albies.

BL   Thanks for the Pic of Ralph.  So that is how you got him  - from Mrs Kenny's passing?  I love African Grays

LISA   How did the closing go?  Did you say you were helping with the move?

Last report:  Home at 3 :15 nest time.   Some meds adjusted for a bit and he goes tomorrow for a holter monitor.  Stress test was normal   PHEW  He's a happy camper and now has his arms in plastic  garbage bags taped on so he can shower and shave  LOL  - Priorities..

[LisaG1967]

tsk - Glad to hear that Tim's stress test was normal, and that he is home.  I got a call about 30 minutes ago, saying....I am now a homeowner.     We are helping them move some things this weekend, but the movers are not coming to move furniture and heavy boxes till the 13th.
