Not a good day, our foster dog Lucy came back to us. She is an older dog but has spunk, she went with an older lady. The way I heard it Lucy went after something and knocked the lady over and hurt her.
When my wife went to the lady's home to pick up Lucy the lady was in bed resting. She felt she could not handle Lucy and gave her back.


Our dog Keeper was happy as he was looking all over for her. She was also happy to see Keeper, they both get on great.


Other bad, wife just took our dog Keeper to emergency vet. We have been smelling something from him and thought he rolled around in something. Yesterday wife found what she thought was tree sap under his neck.
To night he was not him self and when I was checking him found a wound on his neck.
Wife had to take him because I have to get up at 2am for work. It is not good to drive a truck on little to no sleep and I am the only one working so have to go in.


Hope all will be OK

now hope I can sleep!

Tony,
Make any decisions on what you want to do with that transmission on Big Red?

Waiting to hear from Willie about the mileage on the one in his friends truck.
ZF5 is out because I can't find a donor truck.
Probably end up with a rebuild.
Still not in a hurry.
Put the new heater core in the Ranger so she's good for the winter.

Sorry to hear about your dogs Dave. Hope everything works out.

Since everyone's water has gone out I'm waiting for my turn.

Tony, I believe Joey said it had over 300,000. I hope to see him before I head out to the Monthly dinner but I can't be sure he will be out there today.

I had to walk down to the shop tonight to grab... um some necassary items... (OPB that was left behind) at around 2:00 this morning, and jeez! I hope everyone is home, and warm! North Carolina isn't supposed to ever be this cold (based on my short, selective memory). Ever!!

I hope y'all are safe and warm...
