Mouse heads mouse heads roly poly mouse heads...

(non)Zombie cat strikes again; I saw little beady dead eyes staring up at me as I was heading to the door this morning. I guess I either interrupted Button's meal, or her tastes are becoming more refined, because this time there was a stomach with a string of intestines a few feet away.

Happy Monday, everyone!!! :D
Today is thanksgiving day for cats. But only if they came back from the dead.

I went outside looking for it! We think it was just to our west and possibly south. I just couldn't believe it cause it was just kinda raining and windy for a second. Didn't seem tornado-ish at all. I think by the time my phone went off it was already east of us. Neighbor was outside looking too so we're good :D DH was all "good to know what your reaction to a tornado is" lololol.

So......@cowgirl836 and stormchaser2014......where in Wisconsin do you guys live? I have family all over in that state. (My hometown is Oconomowoc.)

Flight went fairly well but we got off to a late start due to needing more fuel and didn't land at Prairie Du Chien because my sister got a headache but we did get to fly up the river and over Guttenberg. @BCClone if you can picture that north facing bluff on the south side of downtown of the park that is pretty much completely gone.

Just realized I called this the wrong town. I meant to say McGregor not Guttenberg. Although there appeared to be a island party going on in the middle of the river down by Guttenberg.

Day one of FXB complete. I didn't sleep well for whatever reason but got there and felt good. Workout went well (push-ups while wearing boxing gloves can go to hell). Worst part thus far is being tired and not being able to drink coffee. I am not a coffee guy usually but definitely drink it to get a boost in the morning when needed.
Do you do push-ups on knuckles or palms? I could see it sucking on palms. My TKD instructor made us do knuckle push-ups on the hard floor. People would look at their hands afterward, and he'd say,"Quit looking at your hands--they're still there."

When I was getting myself prepared for my black belt test, I'd do knuckle push-ups on two bricks. He made us do one hundred to start the test, and that prep made my day a LOT easier.

Can't believe I had the wrong "their" in that statement. Fixed.

The "normal" ones we did were on our palms but then we did some between sets with our boxing gloves on so those were technically knuckles with the glove on.

I remember camping on a sandbar by Guttenberg for a week as a kid. I had fun, but my mom put the nix to tent camping after that foray. As an aside, my older sister cut her foot open on a clam shell about 15 minutes after our arrival. Sat all week watching us other kids splash in the water while her foot healed. As soon as mom gave her the okay to swim, cut her foot again.

I suppose if the gloves were thick, that might be a little wobbly.

The definition of home ownership. We were planning on replacing our nearly 30 year old water heater at the end of the month. Had a furnace tune up today since we have been having issues with it. According to them the part that is causing the problem is over $600 and the system is 20 years old. Maybe that water heater can wait...

Not exactly sure.

So.......you informed the wrong person about the wrong town??? Would be solid if you worked for the government.

Because I am a retired fed I knew who he intended to inform and knew what city we meant.

Bummer about the damage to Pikes Peak. Fall color drives usually included Pikes Peak and Wyalusing State Park across the river in Wisconsin. View is better from Pikes Peak.
