For Leo

Now, if it goes to 20 innings with a rain delay, my prediction will come true.

Did you guys hear about the guy who parlayed a $500k game one bet for all of the games without losing? He’s made $14 million, and supposedly, is laying it all in the line tonight.

In other news, my Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 lens arrived today. It’s the old push-pull made from 88-92. I’ve never seen a piece of used gear in which great condition, right down to the original carrying case.

Guess where Gary's going ...

Mary Lou, Miss Maggie and Gary are back from the vet and her final shot. Miss Maggie has gained four pounds in three weeks. Saturday, Maggie has a puppy socialization class in Long Beach. On Sunday, she will be wine tasting in Temecula.

Ok inquiring minds want to know how much does Maggie weigh now??? Hard to tell with all that hair LOL

I guess we were lucky with Sadie Mae, she absolutely loves to ride in the car, so much so that she doesn't want to get out when we get home. Leashes are another matter, not real fond of them as they limit her travel. I have a 75' lead that I work her on when conditions are hazardous for her to run. Otherwise she works pretty good off leash.

Maggie is now 19lbs, larger than Cook at a similar age. Adult female Wheatens top off around 35lbs. Cookie was fine without a leash, even on the streets. She knew to only cross at corners and after looking in all directions, (joking). Actually, she would wait at the corner waiting for a command to cross. If she was chasing a cat she would stop at the curb. Gary has a 45' leash but only used it during her training period.

Lola the Boxer was probably the best at at following commands and walked at heal perfectly. With Millie (she was a French Brittany) and now Sadie (American Brittany), commands need to be more interesting than what they're doing at the moment. Working in field, Millie would quarter (work in an arc back and forth) in front at about 75 yards. You could direct her in different directions with hand signals, but forget about other commands, until she was tired. Sadie seems to be pretty much the same, in our limited trials so far.

Webster is kind of stupid, he's a sniffer. He runs after anything. Deer, sandhill cranes, coyotes, other dogs, people. He runs full speed, then will stop, and lay down, almost as if to say, what was I thinking? He likes female dogs. I think he is kind of a bad boy in the dog world.

Be careful up there, I hear they're into probing.

Dodgers got some bad juju going on tonight. Did Gary forget to use his lucky bbq tongs tonight?

Dave is awake a little later than he should be with a 4am wake up.
Hmm. 5-0 After two.
Not getting the hopes up too high....

Started a new new analysis and map, today - fire stations that are most likely to transport to a specific hospital. I finished the analysis in two main steps and two adjustments (think post processing) and will put it all together in final form in the morning.

Cancelled the monthly challenge for October - only two entries. I'm going to switch to bi-monthly for a while to see if interest increases.

I just saw that! Sorry to hear it. I always mean to enter and then the month just gets away from me and suddenly it's the last day and I've got nothing! Maybe post the 2 entries at least even if no voting - since they made the effort? I hope the weekly challenges haven't gotten in the way. I've tried to keep them different and more about technical skills than subject matter.

I was thinking about posting them. I don't think it's any one thing, as participation has been low for a few of the previous months. I even had to enter once to make the three minimum. One of the issues has been that some don't want to email their entries, but we can't make a private gallery, so there's no choice. Your's (and Pix's) are post, not anon emails.

Maybe more of the noobs will enter.

He wears thong when he barbeques?
