I AM VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT SHELIA MADE IT BACK FROM THE WILDS OF GEORGIA... AND FLORIDA.. THEY HAD AN RV... WHICH MEANT SHE AND BRIAN LIVED WITHIN 6 FEET OF EACH THER FOR A MONTH. AN IMPRESSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT.
*******
WE HAVE A NEW PERSON STARTTING TODAY --- KATI--- AND JUST SO NO ONE GETS THEIR OWN IDEAS.... SHE IS TO BE DOING SOME OF EVERYTHING.. THUS TAKING THE PRESSURE OFF BOTH TRACY AND MEGAN.. WORKING WITH TRACY EARLY-- THEN BY 10:30 SHE SHOULD BE OUT WITH MEGAN... AND IF THERE IS A BONUS... TAKING VIDEOS OF WHATEVER IT IS THEY DO AS THEY WANDER THE MALLS , HOSPITALS, CHINESE RESTAURANTS AND CAR REPAIR SHOPS.
******
STARTING WITH COSTCO-- I ORDERED SOME 16 X 20 PRINTS OF THE BEAUTIFUL FAMILY TREE-- AND FORGOT TO PICK THEM UP.. APPARENTLY THERESA HAS SOME ORDERS FOR SOME... I DON'T KNOW WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAVE ORDERS FOR THAT ...., UNLESS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BREEDINGS..
******
IN WHICH CASE.... REMEMBER......I DO HAVE THAT FROZEN SPERM IN CALIFORNIA.
NICE GERMAN SPERM COSTS ME $80 PER YEAR TO STORE IT...
I THINK TOLD YOU THE LONG STORY ABOUT TRYING TO IMPORT SPERM... WHICH NEEDS USDA SIGNATURE-- WHERE IMPORTING THE ENTIRE DOG DOES NOT .. BLESS THE USDA....
AND THE COMPLICATIONS OF LIQUID NITROGEN AND FRENCH HOLIDAYS AND HOT --HOT-- TARMAC AT THE PARIS AIRPORT...
BUT IT DID ARRIVE ALIVE.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THE GREAT DANE CLUB OF AMERICA MIGHT FROWN ON--- IT IS "BLACK OUT OF BLUE BLOODLINES" MIND YOU--- IT IS FROM A BEAUTIFUL BLACK GERMAN STUD "NAYBAY"
BLUE IS RECESSIVE--- SO THIS DOG MAY BE CARRYING BLUE GENES=
IF WE DO USE THAT WITH OPAL.... THIS IS WHERE 6 GENERATIONS FROM NOW YOU END UP WITH A COLOR NO ONE IS SURE WHERE IT CAME FROM.... LIKE LOLA AND HER 2 SISTERS... IT WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DOG-- JUST THE USUAL GD BREEDER- PROBABLY WOULD NOT DO THIS.
OR IF THEY DID-- THEY CERTAINLY WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT... IT DOES HAPPEN -- LOLA IS PROOF... SCREWY COLORS-- WHERE ... AS YET.. I HAVE BRED ONLY HARLEQUINS-- WHICH DOES INCLUDE BLACK LOOKING DOGS OUT OF HARL BLOODLINES WHICH DO NOT CARRY BLUE.
IF I DID NOT KNOW NAYBAY WAS OUT OF BLUE BLOODLINES-- IT WOULD BE YE OLD GENERIC MISTAKE.
*******
I HAVE HAD MY FIRST CHALLENGE OF THE DAY WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOYS/TOOLS -- THE SIPHON HOSE. I THINK IT IS A SHAME THAT SINCE THEY PUT A KINK IN A GAS TANK FILLERS , KIDS LOST KNOWLEDGE OF THE BENEFITS OF SIPHONING THINGS.... LIKE GAS OUT OF YOUR PARENTS CAR,. THERE ARE SOOO MANY USES..
MODERN TECH SELLS PEOPLE EXPENSIVE LASERS TO TELL THINGS ARE LEVEL
WHICH IS ACCURATE AS SOON AS YOU LEVEL THE LASER....
HOWEVER-- YOU CAN TAKE A 100 FOOT SIPHON HOSE-- FILLED WITH WATER... AND NO BUBBLES-- AND GOD WILL LEVEL IT WITHOUT ANY FUSSING. EVEN IF THE 2 ENDS ARE 6 INCNES APART OR 50 FEET.
ALSO... ONE OF MY MORE SPECTACULAR USES... IF YOU HAVE A LEAKY ROOF THAT WILL FILL 3 TRASH CANS WITH RAINWATER IN 8 HOURS ---- YOU CAN HAVE ALL 3 FILL AT THE SAME TIME WITH CAREFUL SIPHON PLANNING AND NOT HAVE TO GET UP AND DUMP ONE CAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
THAT IS THE KIND OF THING THEY NO LONGER TEACH IN PHYSICS CLASS... HOW STUFF ACTUALLY WORKS.

Hi Everyone!!!
Just dropping a line to let you all know ALL IS GOOD!!! My man (Khaki not Bob.. LOL) is sure getting A LOT of attention. Seriously!.. One of my silver sneaker people from the Y photographed him and put him on face book while I was working out in the pool she saw me today and said he has 33 hits. Being that I don't face book I don't know if that is a good or bad thing, but Judging by the way she was grinning ear to ear I figured its a good thing!We have had our picture taken a least 3 times now at random places. I even have men stopping me and asking all sorts of question. Some even cute!! HUMM.... Megan you need to come to PSU.....Seriously. I realize how much my posture has improved since using Khaki instead of my numchucks/forearm crutches. I took him to were I used to work to show him off to everyone who donated on my behalf.Their hearts melted some cheered, some cried, but all hearts BURSTING with pride knowing they ALL had a huge part in bringing the two of us together. They can't wait until we start tailgating this year. Card board life size of Joe Paterno Some called him "JOEPA" will have a side kick.....Khaki:)
Much Love,
Marsha And Khaki
