New phone

After three years and loving my iPhone 6 I have decided to go to another iPhone - iPhone 8 Plus. 

Frustration continues

we have been having a lot of issues with MTS since July. In September we have had three techs out to the house, and each one they are confident "we have fixed the issue". Bzzzzzzzzzzz.... wrong. After the last tech was here, the pace modem locked up within 11 hours after a timed reboot. 

This is the first time in a very long time that I have been thinking about changing to SHAW. 

Updates, updates, and updates

So Fresca is 8 months old and doing great. She has passed her level one training and now is working on her level two.  She is a little frightened of new things but we are working on that - current fear is the BBQ cover.

New puppy in the house

It has been approximately 2 years since my first dog Bingo passed away (Nov 29 would be the 2 year anniversary).  I think that is a long enough wait - we now have a new 11 week old puppy.  We picked her up from the Humane Society. The information we received from the WHS, she was abandoned, has a skin condition (being treated), and is a husky cross (they just don't know that the other side is).  Based on her paw size - I think she is part bear.  I will be posting an image of Fresca soon - need to setup the server to handle images.

No more NitroFlex

About 15 years ago I bought a device called a NitroFlex in hopes that it would help me keep in shape.  Up to 1.5 years, hopes didn't help with my expanding waste line.  On Monday September 28 (during my workout), the steel pin that held the nitrocell to the crossbar broke.  Luckily, there was a support strap and a screw that prevented the nitrocell bar from shooting forward; otherwise,  I think I would have gotten a 1.25" thick bar in the back of the head.

My quest for fitness continues unfettered, we have decided to invest in a BowFlex unit (arrives on Thursday) - just in time for the long weekend.
