Oh my what a disaster. I think JoesDad will never put anything again on the roof of a car.

I think so too!

I’m doing well with the catch-up chores. The house is looking less like a jumble sale and there’s food in the fridge now! :D

I must ring the mechanic and find out how Daughter’s car is doing!

Busy Linda. I hope you can relax with a cup of tea later.:)

I am taking a tea break right now. :)

Daughter’s car isn’t going to be an expensive fix ... just a new battery plus the service. And they said they’ve glued a bit of loose door seal back and won’t charge for it! There’s a reason we use this place; they’re good!

He looks older than 4 year with his grey mouth. When he has a lot of bad teeth that is a hint too that he is older. But you had been told that he is 4 years old, Kathy ?

Our vet said at least 5. It it’s okay, we are loving him up and he’s really getting a personality.

I do love that he does not bark and pretty easy going. Last night we had a fire at our outside fireplace and the wood popped and popped and he didn’t even flinch while sleeping next to me.

I wish your son all the best. Hopefully he is not really sick.

Thank you!! He seems to be fine. He’s been helping us with our home improvement stuff and hung out with friends at the movies.
Today is a holiday so I’ll make him an appt tomorrow. You just never know if it’s an underlying illness.

Good Day All

Yes....just back from yet another paddle up near Baltimore on Marley and Curtis Creeks that feed the Patapsco River. Early start, gorgeous sunrise. We were luck enough to catch the US Coast Guard Tall Ship “Eagle” at dock for repairs.
  • USCGC Eagle (WIX-327), formerly the Horst Wessel and also known as the Barque Eagle, is a 295-foot (90 m) barque used as a training cutter for future officers of the United States Coast Guard.
Not a bad view for us to paddle up on and explore. We also discovered an old boat “graveyard” that had quite a few prehistoric wooden boats, and just a lot of old wooden docks and gates. Pix to follow.

Good morning, roommates!
Woke up to this sight:

Something tells me the summer is over. :confused: :)

Here...Canada geese will start migrating south from up North. Many will start arriving here by the 1000’s and feed in the fields and marshes before moving further South. Still too warm for us to start seeing the familiar V-shaped flight patterns.

The swallows leaving marks the end of summer for us. They start gathering in large flocks on telephone wires and then, one day, they’re gone.

Oh how exciting. I`ve never seen a graveyard of old boats. Waiting for your pics.

Interesting and sad at the same time. At night it must be a little bit scary there. Maybe some dead pirates will make a party after midnight on their old ships.
Btw: I like your new signature on your pics.

Yes, scary and probably a bit dangerous with all the bits n bobs of nails, bolts, all kinds of iron “things”, etc. someone suggested I should add a small sig block. I see you noticed.

Another boat/wreck. From the looks of these, they were tied up at the docks and burned up. A real mess of iron and old wood.

A personal sign on your pics prevents you that they are "stolen" by other people.
Proud old ships: Burned but still not sunken...

Oh, so good to hear he's feeling safe now!
