Good Thursday morning, everyone!  Dan, thanks for getting breakfast ready this morning.  After playing with Sweetie Pie, I didn't get to bed until about 12:30 this morning.  She seems to be liking Sarah's bed, and her bedroom, right now.  She's still adjusting to her new home and surroundings, and adjusting to her new roomate:  Sammy Joe, the resident house cat, who is 15 years old.  She's not liking her other roommate, Winter, the dog, very well, yet.  All she does is hiss at Win.  Oh well, they will all adjust in time. 

Jen, Sarah does call her "Mookie" every once in awhile.  

Everyone have a great day, and does anyone have any requests for lunch/supper today?

I am not sticking around, so read fast: 

Mutt - you have your own Mookie, now.  She looked exactly like that.  She must have been reincarnated just so she could live with you!  Has she learned to get up high or is she still a stay on the floor/bed kitty?

Tree - for awhile our sheriff couldn't get anything done except car/truck/deer accident reports.  It seems to have calmed down a little.

All the rest:  I am locked and loaded and won't be caught.  Stay tooned for the next "painting" at the OK Diner....

I will play Tree and leaf.

Hmmmm - "Locokitty" and a kitty who seems to have gone loco.....

Nope - Deer lost.  Not that the truck necessarily won.  Got to thinking later - there's a lot of miles on the truck, even though it's in excellent condition. It may be a close call between repairs and "totalling" the truck.  Hope for the best - I was hoping to avoid another vehicle payment for a while.

Morning all!  Mutt she's cute!  Welcome to the 'LocoKitty'.  Kinda reminds me of 'RoboCop' but with more fur and less bad sci-fi.

On to breakfast: it's Pancake Thursday!  I've got regular, chocolate chip, cinn/rasin, bananna, paintball, and blueberry.  The syrup is made fresh locally and it's darn good!  We've also got some oatmeal for those in need of that plus the usual bevy of beverages.  Suggestions for breakfast tomorrow?

Well, this is my anniversary present that CW got me tonight.  Isn't she a cutie?!?!  A very beautiful tortiseshell.  She's two years old, and very loving.  She was a rescue from the Humane Society.  Cool [8D]

 

(remember CW said "early present",Anniversary isn't until next month!) 

 

//Edit//  Should have added that this one came with a "Paintball Gun" in her paws!!

Mookie had best be careful,she's got competition from "LOCOKITTY"!!!!Laugh [(-D]Laugh [(-D]Laugh [(-D]

I'll eat venison anytime!  The only way it's not good is if someone cooks it 'wrong'.

....Larry, sorry to hear of damaging your truck.....Did the deer pick itself up and dash away.

If the hit isn't too hard they can really do that.  In fact it happened to me years ago.  About 5 or 6 of them came running across the highway in front of the test truck I was driving and I just about got it stopped, but not quite.  Some went behind and some went in front and one got hit by my stopping truck and got slammed over in the ditch but he got up and shook himself off and ran out across the field.

Sounds like you may have not been quite that fortunate.

 Hmmm, I do like venison,but for some reason,not prepared that way!!

 Very sorry to hear about that,hope the repair bill isn't out of this world!

My Sis had that happen to her a few years ago;lets just say that she wasn't even that lucky,if you could even say that.

Supper for tonight is now ready.  Sorry about it being so late, but I went out and bought Mutt an EARLY wedding anniversary present.  Will have a picture up later, I'm sure.  Not going to spoil Mutt's surprise for everyone.

Dan, thanks for the present!  I love my new ovens!!

Supper tonight is:  beef angus steak w/sauteed mushrooms & onions, with chocolate cake for dessert.    

Chris, thank you for mopping up the paintball mess on the floor.  You get your supper free tonight.

[zips up Carhartt jacket and dons goggles]

Seem to need some 'protection' around here.  This jacket should do, just in case the "pawed and dangerous" kitty is still lurking around.

Busy day at work.  More of the same tomorrow. 

I'll pass on the Reuben and see what's in the cooler....

The U.S.S. South Dakota had 9 16" guns, each capable of firing a 2000 pound shell at a target 20 miles away. It's a shame that I am not able to secure any of these guns, as we could blow Mookie, A.K.A. "Miss Kitty" right out of the water!"

Wow, I miss a couple days here, and look what happens! Hey CW, if you need me, I'll be behind the mop trying to clean some of the paint up. I hope we didn't get any paint in our supper!

EDIT: Well, that's another top page honor. Time to go buy that Powerball ticket!
