    Spending a lot of time with an Alaskan Husky with apparently wolf in her, which if so, is starting to show more and more. She's definitely testing the boundaries, but she's also learning more and more as she tests the limits. She is beautiful and gets better looking all the time, to me anyway! She eats big 'ol bones like they're nothing. Destroys most toys. I've went through a LOT to finally find certain things that last. She's a smart little cookie! And it looks like about 100 mini meteors have landed in my backyard! She loves to dig holes, I think prepping to find ways to lay in them and cool off. Or she's just ruining my yard for the hell of it!

    And she's rough, too rough, and isn't easy to have outside with the Chihuahua at the same time. She doesn't understand and knocks him around too easy, and won't allow the little guy a chance to even pee!!

    So not much progress in the cutting back all the way on caffeine or coffee. I need it more than ever now in order to keep up with the girly!

    Outside of that, nottalotta nothing. Watching a ton of Live PD re-runs and being lazy lately. Probably run down by night time with all the new exercise I never really did. I love that show though! It's like it made Cops disappear and is the new go to show for watching folks getting arrested!
    One of my new favorite shows is "Homicide Hunter" with Lt. Joe Kinda. "Well my, my," he always says...

    My Spotify Weekly Picks must think I'm a real hillbilly because a good half of them are banjo hillbilly music. I don't think I've ever marked more "I don't like this song" than this week.

    I hope that's the end of the hillbilly music weekly picks.

    Psychoblues might like it. Although he was really more of a "Get drunk and listen to the Blues" guy.

    I like the blues every once and awhile. Good driving music. Sirius XM has good blues.

    I got one thing done today. Put a new drain petcock on the air compressor. Put an L and a 4" nipple with a ball valve on it, much easier to get at to drain condensation.

    There's parts of Iowa that have just been getting SLAMMED ALL DAY with rain, HEAVY rain... there's two major storms colliding over the midwest and future forecast has them colliding right over southern Wisconsin later... wonderful, we need the rain but it doesn't need to be severe...

    POOR central Iowa... they have just been under a MASSIVE DELUGE ALL DAY... there HAS to be flooding... I'm sure this will be on the news.

    The storm coming up from Florida seems to have stalled over western Kentucky now for about the last three hours too.

    They said it would get up here by 10:00, that ain't gonna happen. Hopefully with the sun going down these storms will lose some of their punch.

    No matter what I do, I can't get facebook to display the NRA posts. I have "snoozed" just about EVERYTHING BUT the NRA, and I'll SEE the NRA posts below in the page, but when I start to scroll down to see them, they DISAPPEAR.

    Now isn't that weird. I'll tell ya, I'm about ready to give that phony shit too, and twitter. When I had HALF the followers I have now on twitter I got a lot of "likes," but it's rare now I see one. I'm pretty sure I've been shadow banned to many.

    Frustrating for sure - I have a love-hate relationship with social media.

    I spend very little time on facebook anymore anyway, less than a couple minutes a day. Most days just seconds, a quick flip down the page and I'm gone. I'm noticing others posting less and less on there as well.

    They've done studies that say the more you do it the more unhealthy. (Shrug)

    Yeah there's that one or two that's ALWAYS posting about the most inane crap.

    What I keep an eye on is a few Air Force groups I've joined, one especially for 70's era basic training in hopes that someday someone will post our Flight picture that I lost, and another for Chanute AFB where I took my tech school, and the base has since been shut down and left virtually deserted and run down. Looks like a ghost town. I do like to see pictures of it now left by people that go by, to see the places I've been and how almost unrecognizable they are today. Makes me feel old though.

    I made it to Casa Grande by 10:1t, pretty good with a full trailer and car. The traffic wasn't bad at that time, thankfully!

    Air was on and wifi guy is here, so I'll soon be in business!

    Yeah me neither. Used to a little bit long ago, but it instantly would turn into a shit storm.

    The only page I "like" on there that's even remotely political is the NRA, and then that's just to get a story here and there. I never repost any of it. I don't see it much anyway though, since facebook's algorithms keep making NRA posts disappear.
