Kids, Cats & Dogs

Amy finally came through with some photos of the newest family member. I have no doubt that Carl will soon rule the roost.

Looks like Higgins is finally at ease around Carl, or is he?

Poor Spencer, Carl likes torture him.

We probably don’t want to know how Spencer got wet hair. I suppose it could have been from a bath. Somehow, I doubt it.

That cat knows how to adopt a family.

Meanwhile, back in Portland.

And Louis is back to being Louis. As only he can do.

Hopefully I’ll get back to the demolition of Hawthorn next week. Absolutely  perfect weather forecasted for at least a week. Hope your’s is good.

About

So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
