10 March 2008

I just got back from the VET and the Station, where all of squad #1 got to meet Bodhi. They loved him. Bodhi got his third set of shots today, and had his left rear leg checked out. He seems to limp on it when it rains, and it is so heartbreaking to watch. We bring him back to the VET tomorrow for his X-rays. The VET seemed positive and as much as we do, he seems to want to diagnose it soon and treat it. The weekend was pretty normal. We had a bad storm with crazy winds here, and a piece of siding flew off of my house. I am going to climb up there and attempt to fix it following this blog posting. I got to see the siblings, bro-in-laws, and my father for lunch. We hit up Rock Bottom, and BS-ed about growing up. My brother came up a lot...two funny stories to highlight are as follows:

The time when my brother went up the mountains with the boy scouts and jumped in front of a toboggan, which caused him to get a concussion. I remember dad getting the call, and his return...took the heat off us other kids for a little, haha.

The second event was back few years, and my brother was cutting the back yard with the ride-on lawnmower. Big brother turned the mower a little too close to the deck, and smashed the lattice under the deck. THEN, he tried to back up, but instead went forward even more, tearing up more of the lattice. He ended up working on the repairs for a while with "Bob Villa" papa Bill.

Good times growing up. Enjoy your weeks, be safe!!

Not fair. Unable to defend myself half-way around the world. Don't start anything you can't finish! Come on Cletus, come on!

Yeah, he can't defend himself... WHATEVER! He has the ability to verbally defend himself. Oh, how many times have I heard and rehashed that lattice story through the years with you guys (the Finney family). Bill, tell about the fruit throwing! ;) Let's all get Pat in trouble with our stories (hehehe)! I can remember a band trip and fireworks in a parking lot (let's see him respond to that one). Bye-bye, All!

Fireworks in a parking lot...now THAT is interesting...

Yeah, all I can say is keep Pat away from Banannas when he has had a couple of drinks...it isn't a pretty site. Especially if you park your car within throwing range.

Bananas at the correct trajectory = fun for all. Lot of T&A over here = Toes and ankles. You're crazy man.
