PHYL  I was just coming in to post about Jim Brandenburg's passing.  What a loss.
Such funny cat pics this AM  .  I sure hope Jim does not go back to work on Monday!!!  TLC from you is his cure.

(((Jim Brandenburg))) Good morning Baker’s another  Caturday To celebrate we will be 91 again today which is way too hot this early in the year but I believe we have a cool down coming next week as you can tell I’m talking to the typing lady as she has said bakers for beakers.
Great news about for eggs and hopefully they will all hatch. What a job mama will have.
Phyl, Hopefully you can keep gym resting and enjoying your TLC and Maggie’s purse. Prayers for your continued improvement.
Bl, You were on a real roll yesterday in more ways than one.  Puffs outfit was spectacular and I love the story of a spot Henry cool name for a cool cat. I’m sure you have many stories of his antics.
My only cat story is about William, the Siamese kitten that belong to a roommate he always slept with me as a baby and peed in the bed every day my roommate was in charge of washing the sheets in the morning. I was transferred from Texas to Colorado during this time and left a suitcase open on the bed. I closed it up not taking and put it in the car and drove off to Colorado Springs about arrival I found. That William had given me one last present he had peed in the suitcase when I come upance! He was quite a cat and grew to be at rifled it to arrival age. However, my roommate finally had to rehome him to her parents who are retired and didn’t mind getting up at midnight to let him in every night after his after dinner walk about he’s the one that learn to ring the doorbell at midnight to come in and did that every night and kept ringing until someone open the door smart these animals are.
My day yesterday was fairly successful although I never did get to the plant store there’s always next week. hopefully everyone has exciting planned for the weekend. I will spend tonight watching basketball in Berg. I won’t say who I’m cheering for but there’s two teams that are my favorite and I will see if either one of them will win. I’ll let you know tomorrow.
Oh yeah and I forgot Pioer Antham treats at the drive up window at the Publix pharmacy. Cute little treats.
Have a good day. See you later.

Good Morning Beakers....It's Caturday!!


tig - LOL, on your funny at the pool. 

tsk -  You are right, Annie would have enjoyed that bubble wrap suit. LOVE the morning Caturday pic!!

BL - Hmmm, I don't think Misty was originally from FL.    Misty was an escapee from the Animal Shelter, that made her way over to the woods behind my house, as I am not far from the shelter.  Great memories of Spot.

Lani - Thanks!  Misty sure did love her babies.   

oldguy - Thanks for the videos.

clynn - Your sister's cat looks like one of the BB kitties!  We call it Big Spotty.  Beautiful big Robin. 

Phyl - Stay safe with the weather.  Hope you and Jim get well soon.  ((Jim Brandenburg)) 


karen - Like your good morning, saying.

some bounce

R.I.P. Jim B.  A great talent gone too soon.

Thanx Lisa, I had hoped I didn't offend... 

((Phyl/Jim))  (ALL)

Camper is at an all day interclub camera club conference. He saw an old buddy from werk. He had to send me a pic of him so I could tell him who it was. LOL. Most times, I'm not afraid to say "I'm having a senior moment, tell me your name, again". I think it may be more difficult for guys to do? IDK.
They will have a visit from U of M Raptor Center birds at lunch. WooHoo!

I knocked off my morning exercises and am now reconditioning our wooden cutting boards (with a beeswax/coconut oil) and conditioning our leather loveseat.

Am excited for our 2 MN women in the final bball game tomorrow! I'm taking a break from watching tennis. I need sleep! LOL

OG here's a map of Isle Royale of your Greenstone Ridge Trail hike back in 1974.
I whipped it up in QGIS just for S#**'s and giggles.   

I hope it doesn't bring back any bad foot pain memories.

   

LOL, BL and OG, my feet are hurting just looking at that trail, and I never hiked it! 

Oh, that lake (Superior) with an island (Isle Royale), with a lake (Siskiwit) with an island (Ryan), with a (seasonal) pond (Moose Flats) with a boulder in it (Moose Boulder), with a turtle

Someone needs to write a song about that!

Thanks Tig - that works

[baziunc]

BL - LOL!   Spot Henry looks like my Misty!  He might be her brother, from another Mother 

True that LisaG.   

Was Misty originally from the FL, Keys ?   

Spot was a true domestic "moggie" cat for sure.

25 to 20 lbs of pure mischievous exuberance his whole long lived 12 lives and 19 years.   

I say 12 lives only because I lost 3 of my lives one night.
Holly stuff Spot !

One late night I woke up for a glass of water bleary eyed, walked into the kitchen and spot was what I thought brutally assaulting and fur flying destroying our other cat the demure 10 lb Persian cat Miss Gritty Kitty his best buds !   

It turns out it was one of those knock off Russian 'fur' lined winter hats that Pip had bought that day with a gift card unbeknownst to me.
Pip had put it in the closet with the door closed .. closet door was now open.

Man O Man do we have, and many other happy campers stories, about Spot Henry the Dumpster Kitty.
Pip & I still cry laughing so hard at some of his antics and shenanigans.
What a true prick of a cat he was.
He was our true cat.   




   

BL and Lisa, for sure either Spot Henry is a forebear of Misty (just a hop, skip, and a jump from NJ to MD), or Spot Henry only got 11 of his lives previously, and returned for his 12th as Misty!  Doppelgangers!! Both kitties lived/living their best lives at their Furever Homes.
