8 weeks old German Shepherd puppy. Fun times - my two adult dogs are not fans.

This little bugger just scampers in and plops on the cool floor

I haven’t. We’ve just completed week 2 of sleeping on the air mattress (wife) and the couch (me) in the living room. Ellie is doing amazingly well - we had her stitches removed today, but we’re still taking it really easy with her for a few more weeks so her knee can fuse a bit. Johnny is taking advantage of the situation by sleeping on the air mattress any chance he gets.

He likes the couch too.

My wife’s friend from the barn - the one with the Newfoundlander puppy - got a Samoyed puppy. He’s 11 weeks old. Oppo, meet Loki!

Here is one of Johnny being a lazy butt

That’s all I had to say

Toad got dusty when we did the CO Oppo meet. I took it to the gym and then Costco and it was raining when I left the store.

That got the car too dirty, so I did some quick svending, and just had to take a few photos.

I love this car. We return to regularly scheduled programming.

Little chunk eats more than his 100lbs brother and he poops like it’s his only job.

Here are a few recent photos

From this, on 8/22

To this, two months later.

It looks like my puppy ate my puppy.

My parents came over for a late bday celebration. Wife decided to cook for all of us and she went all out.

Home made bread , super crunchy and very tasty.

Pan fried, oven finished, and butter basted thick pork chops - she made me this last week for my birthday and I requested them again. Served with root vegetables, roasted with cream, with a simple arugula and spinach salad with a lemon vinaigrette.

My mom made a home made cake with Jaffa cakes.

And, cup of espresso to finish the night.

No booze for me, as I got pretty drunk yesterday and suffered this morning.

I’ll always have my spare tire.

Few blocks from my house.

@Saracen Awesome! We just bought 6 packages of thighs, can’t wait to rub them in my special seasoning blend and grill them!

@DSM_OR_DIE Nice!! I got a smoker on last black Friday and have used it a few times. The best recipe, by far, is the pulled pork shoulder. $20 hunk of meat gives about 20 portions.

@Shop-Teacher I just looked it up. It’s basically a ground beef crustless quiche. It might be even better with a crust though. I love crusts.

I might have to make it. I like one or two pot dishes. Makes for an easy cleanup

@VincentMalamute My decision to stay indoors and do a spin class seems like it was the right one. I really don’t like snakes.

@Shop-Teacher How do you make that? Is like a pie crust full of ground beef and cheese then baked?

@Zymosan I like it better from a grill, but a good butter basted steak is very tasty too.

@GrindIntoSecond You’ve also been irradiated way more than most of us

@MUSASHI66 Dessert - Instagram recipe. Crumbled rice cakes, honey, cocoa powder and peanut butter. Mixed, chilled, cut, served cold.

@Brickman Chicken and lemon - pairing made in heaven.

@Just-Jeepin Good luck, I am not disciplined enough for fasting. I am however, once again recording my calories. I lost 27lbs last time I used it.

This is today. One hour spin class, I didn’t even record the 30 minutes of core exercises. I’ll try not eating anything else to stay in an extra deficit. My allotted calories should give me 1lb weight loss per week.
