Out of the Blue

It's off to the vet this morning. Gunnar is going to get his first puppy check-up, and Hudson the wonder dog can have a follow-up to her ailing foot. The weird thing there is her foot no longer seems to bother her at all... after getting splinted for what was diagnosed as a hairline fracture of the toe, our indomitable pup managed to remove the splint within a few days, and has not seemed the worse for wear since. I guess we'll learn today whether the toe thing was a mis-diagnosis, or if it simply managed to heal up after all of four days of being immobilized.

Think about the pressure in pounds per square whatever are being applied there.

Many basketball players suffer with these in their feet. I understand we are talking serious pain here.

So far, so good -- the kiddo slept through the night for once, I got a nifty toy in WoW, and -- best so far -- I got an offer on a job I interviewed for last week. And for more than I was asking.

Woot.

Back when I was a pipefitter one of the things I was always told was to avoid sitting on the pipes, especially cold pipes, because it could cause hemorrhoids. When you're an apprentice first starting out you never know when you're being told the truth or being set up for some joke, but it wasn't hard to see that most of the guys would always go out of their way to find someplace else to sit.



Hey, don't blame me, Enahs brought it up.

I believe that's referred to as "hitting the trifecta"

I believe that's referred to as "hitting the trifecta"

My "younger" older brother lived above a Bar with a good friend of ours for a few years, and we would do the "trifecta" at least once a week.

Start at "Main Street Bar and Grill" downstairs, then go down 2 blocks to "________" it is called something else now, but I don't remeber the name of it - where they had 2-1s from 3-7 pm, and this was no stingy place. We would get whiskey sours or capt cokes 2-1. And this was no rocks glass drink, this was straightup tallboy 80% booze and 20% or less additive. Play some pool and cross the street back down the block to "Mitch's". We would play the paddle wheel and some pull-tabs to complete the trifecta.

It got interesting when the game continued, because the whole idea of the "trifecta" was to see how many times it could be completed in a given evening. Order 1-2 drinks at each place, then walk to the next. Since 2 were across the street from eachother, it was even shaped like a triangle.

This kind of activity is the type that led to my friend (41 years young) to have a stroke last year. Needsless to say we don't do that anymore.
