I used to have a dog like that.My threat has always been that I bite kneecaps.
And yes, I realize the humor in it! But before I gave up skiing, I used to laugh at the looks I would get from all these tall guys with skis shorter than mine.

There are some real jackass truck drivers out there.
I was going into a left turn lane with about 5 or 6 vehicles ahead of me. I stop next to a Speedway entrance, with two lanes of traffic in between. This asshat trucker is trying to pull out, wanting the same lane I'm in of course, and starts blocking both lanes of traffic. . The stoplights at this intersection have the stupid flashing yellow arrow, you never get a green arrow. 2 cars get to turn left before the light turns red.
Then this ****** honks at me, tells me to back up so he can pull out more. I do and get over to the straight lane, not a big deal. Trucker pulls out some more and almost hits the pickup that was in front of me with his trailer. The light stays red, but with a flashing yellow left arrow, while the cars on the opposite side get the green, but they can't go anywhere because the trailer is still blocking both lanes, so no one can turn left either. Trucker pulls out some more, opening up one lane so cars can finally flow through. Light turns green after about 5 minutes and I leave that clusterfuck behind.
Sorry if this is confusing.

Have fun. If you even think about coming within half a block of the house, the dogs will give you a piece of their mind
DAMN. Those are a cm longer than mine. I can't imagine what that'd be like, being goblin-sized with this size of ski.
Had to pull over and vomit on the side of the road on the way home tonight. That was fun.
Some idiot scheduled a major network change for Friday night and they told clients it had no impact which is 200% the opposite. Been on numerous conference calls since 4:30 pm Monday.
This weekend is Anheuser Busch's biggest weekend of the year, even bigger than an ISU bowl game. I have trouble believing they will even consider letting this through.

Look out. Bugs are in the air. My daughter was just diagnosed with influenza B. I'll take that compared to the bacterial meningitis almost exactly 1 year ago!!
That has always kind of been why she has said, but don’t want her to do it because everyone thinks she should. I would love for her to find some niche like dog physical therapy or something. I am pretty sure she will end up at ISU so at least she will be off to a good start.
MrsWx was diagnosed with influenza B last night as well.
It's ok. They are both mostly irrelevant.Oops. my bad.
It's probably a bad idea to be running a nail gun and air compressor at this hour.
Last night was the quarterly meeting of the St. Olaf Lutheran Church Foundation board (yeah, I'm a member). We have an endowment approaching $2.5M....every year we earmark a portion of it to be granted for things like missionary support, community projects (like homes for battered women, etc), and so on.
Last night we voted to give away nearly $100,000 for several very worthy causes in the community. It's rewarding to be involved in things like that.

I would love to have the money to start a foundation. We've been doing our yearly events to donate to Nebraska Spina Bifida. It would be so cool to have a foundation that you could donate money to them and other worthwhile causes.Last night was the quarterly meeting of the St. Olaf Lutheran Church Foundation board (yeah, I'm a member).
