I always found that most people who drive Beemers are @$$holes. 🤫 I guess the ones who steal them are @$$holes too!

We considered flying the dog but neither one of us want to put him thru that kind of stress. He rides pretty good, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. We both have trucks and we’re bringing them down so we’ll be driving alone anyway. We will have radios to communicate rather then trying to use the phone. The drive will take 10-11 days. Not stopping for a hotel was only during the Canada part of the trip. Right now we’re planning on the info we have as far as Canada is concerned, we still have lots of questions after researching online, I think I am going to have to call Canada’s border authorities and find out some moe details on traveling thru the country. Your right, the drive from ak to the lower 48 border is almost half the trip, not sure we can do it without stopping at least once. Of course the truth is that 4 months from now the covid regulations will probably be completely different, but probably not different for the dog. Although I have to think that you are not the first American with a pit bull or German shepherd to travel across Canada Yep, that’s for sure, Canada has strict rules with certain breeds (for good reason). I’m hoping we don’t have to muzzle him. We’re going to talk with the German Shepherd breeder/trainer that worked with him when he was younger, he’s brought shepherds thru Canada many times so he will give us the scoop. We’ll do whatever is required.

Today was steady at work, yet quiet for people coming. It was a good day to catch up on the odds and ends.
Left this afternoon to find out my mom was back up to the hospital and discharged before I finished work.

I’ve been a truck guy my whole life anyway.

I’ve been a truck guy my whole life anyway. I certainly understand where you are coming from, but some of those BMW are pretty bad@$$. I think the new M3 does 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds. However I certainly don't have one and it isn't the first car on my list if I was in a position to drop big bucks on a car.

You actually had one??? Yeah, for a few months. A friend of my dad's owned a small auto wrecking yard and it showed up there. With some help, I managed to repair the front door and got it back on the road. It was an evil little thing though, developing engine hiccups that plagued me at the most inconvenient times. The novelty wore off fairly quick, and being young, I was very disenchanted with how tough it was to go parking with my girlfriend. I ended up selling it to a guy in Victoria, and I replaced it with a beaten 57 Cadillac....Now that was a car you could go parking in

I’ve been a truck guy my whole life anyway. Only ever had one, a 5 Series, which was a company car. Great car with plenty of room, but perhaps too fast for me. Mine had a fault as well. It had indicators

Gotta get out to shovel the snow this morning. We had a lot of drifting overnight. I don’t know where to put it in some places.

Thanks.
She has congestive heart failure and they're still trying to get her meds adjusted properly. Hopefully things can get dialed in quickly.

Just dropped my oldest daughter off to get all 4 wisdom teeth out. She is really nervous. Hopefully all goes well and she's resting at home in 30 minutes

Having had a wisdom tooth out at 32, and another out at 43, there was a significant pain difference afterwards.

He was sore for a few days and eating lots of soft foods for about a week. Also took lots of Advil. my daughter had one pulled out about 3 or 4 weeks ago and you would have thought someone had shot her in the head! Either that or she was trying to milk us for sympathy. I had one pulled out about 10 years ago and ya, it hurt for a couple of days but Tylenol did the trick. (I’m allergic to Aspirin/Advil/Motrin etc)

I usually clean a bit of the driveway, then clean off a car. Then do another section of the driveway, clean off the second car. Repeat again until the third car is done. Then I do the walkways up to the house. Took me about an hour and 45 minutes today. When I was almost done, my daughter asked if I needed help. 🤬

I remember prior to it I had no idea what I was in for so I just sauntered into the place and told the dr. "sock it to me". Boy did he ever. He didn't give me the option of anything but being put out completely because it was so bad and he had to crack out multiple pieces of my jaw to get the teeth out. Luckily I had no idea previously so the only misery was after the operation, which laid me up for literally almost a week. I'm glad she's done with it however.

I’m feeling real tired tonight. I’ve hardly sat down all day and my back is killing me after clearing the snow. Geez, I shoveled the snow, went grocery shopping, did laundry and folded it, prepared and made dinner, set and cleared the table. I finally sat down to watch the 6:00 news. I think I’ll just go and watch some TV tonight….probably fall asleep on the couch too..
