The August Coffee,Tea and foodstuffs.

[Major E A Sterner]

The year is going fast, we'll be getting falling leaves and temps before you know it.

[Delmonico]

Will repost this here.

Long story,  wife's heart melted all over the easy chair tonight and I  made a phone call.

Not sure yet but pretty sure one of these blacks is a Male.  If so looks like I'm getting an Okie dog.

Yeah wasn't going to do another pup, wife says we have to now.

In Woodward Oklahoma, if it works I will pick him up in Kansas in two weeks, delivered via a Chuckwagon.

Up date it appears the black one in front is a Male.  My friend in Woodward is going to find out and he's friends with the guy who runs the shelter.

We want him because he's black and smiles.  Labs always seem to smile.

Falling leaves and temps are slow coming...

Robin came over yesterday and looked around and said dog.  Her mom had to tell her he was gone like Bailie, her yellow one they lost in May, niece came over and used her key to drop something  off, said it was strange not getting a short wood when she did it.

Lexie has been crying, we have done a few things like he was still here so now this popped up out of the blue so we are going to try.

[DeaconKC]

Hope you can use the smile today Del.

[Delmonico]

Houston we have a problem, it's not black but Chocolate, asked wife, she said so.

Will get him in two weeks, told Norton to chose the one he liked.😉

His name will be Riley.

Introducing Riley

[litl rooster]

I am about hungry right now- my morning toast with strawberry preserves has worn off.  Not sure what I want to prepare. Maybe some homegrown tomatoes and a dollop of ricotta. Salt n Pepper of course.  I?d like a big chunk of steak. None here and I am too whipped to go to town.

Have had too many fires around the homestead the past week and honestly since April. Trees falling 3 goats  a few ducks and a couple of hens, animals dying. My dog disappeared not that we are lacking in dogs and cats here. I was attached to the missing one.
Flooding from storms. Now the drains backed up. I have spent most of the day tackking then. I think that is the win Column  now. Still need to haul brush off to burn pile.
I am worn out.

[DeaconKC]

Del, Riley looks like a fine pup.

[Delmonico]

Some more, Norton said he's making himself at home.

There is an emptiness, I have allowed some though to get another.... 

[litl rooster]

The in laws lost one (Tex a Jack Russel)in the spring and another at Auburn University, who is not doing well. A big black lab(Sheila) . She started home last week but had a set back.  Like us they take in animals. Besides milking 60 cows 2x a day.

[DeaconKC]

How much animals can steal our hearts. Even the ones who are stinkers will always remain in our hearts. Eased back with a cup of coffee and relaxing with the Missus tonight. See y'all tomorrow.

[Delmonico]

Well today's report on the Life of Riley, he is going to Colorado tomorrow to pick up dutch ovens and is on his way right now to the Dairy Queen to get ice cream.

Not only is he gonna help heal our broken hearts, he is doing that right now to a guy who used to have an elderly mom who he took care of.

His mom passed away just before Christmas.

[The Trinity Kid]

Evening all.

Night time in Billings, s usual there's a thunderstorm.

Lot has happened in the past couple days. In order:
1: I managed to get a motorcycle. 1982 Yamaha XJ750.
2: I moved into a new place with my girlfriend, with 48 hours notice. That was exciting. But, we're in now. I have a full stove and oven now.
3: I was advised to get start looking for a new job by a co-worker. The place we're at now is getting run into the ground. I'm going to guess it's got about six months before they close the doors. I have an application in at Cabela's and a couple other places.
4: I worked 85 hours in 12 days at a corner Mart. I've done longer, but it was more interesting work.
5: I got a collectible Susan B Anthony silver dollar at the store today. Worth about $6.

Del, I'm sorry to hear about the dog. But it looks like you've got a good one with Riley.  Here's to friends, new and old, two and four legged.

[Delmonico]

Thank you TK, we knew it was coming but it was still hard because he was happy to the end.

Report from Norton after the I've cream trip.
