Dave hits Western PA

Greetings from Belle Vernon, PA. Last night I was so exhausted I didn't even try to log in from Vandalia, IL. Took it a little easier today, had a boring but smooth drive through Indiana and Ohio. Tomorrow I'll drive across Pennsylvania and Murphy-willing, arrive in NYC in early afternoon. Looks like I'll be in Boston Monday or Tuesday. Well I invited Dave to breakfast in Pittsburgh. My guess is that he will be too busy to attend. But then again stranger things have happend. 11:06:04 PM

Bath Time

Then I got ambitious and decided to bathe the dogs. Whiskey did well on the whole, but Gracie was a basket case. Complete freak-out with loss of bowel control. Next time, I take them to the do-it-yourself doggie wash. Easier on them (non-skid surfaces in the baths) and on my back (not having to lift them into/out of the tub).[ViewFromTheHeart] We don't have any problem getting Lily to take a bath. We actually have to watch her now when we start the water for a shower. One time I started the water and left the room for a second, next thing I hear is a couple of thumps from the bathroom. I go in and Lily is in the tub ready and waiting for a bath. She has even learned to lift her hind legs so that we can scrub her belly. Of course washing a pug is a little easier than washing a couple of greyhounds. 11:02:36 PM

Mmmm... Bread
Well, the loaves came out great! At first I was thinking of freezing one of the loaves, but seeing as one the loaves is almost gone, I don't think that I will need to. Warm bread just from the oven is so good. 10:54:36 PM

Baking Bread
I am making my first loaves of bread right now. I have always liked the PBS show Baking Bread with Father Dominic, and I even have a Danish dough wisk, but this is the first time that I have tried to make something. I have started with Honey Oatmeal Bread. Should be done in about 30 min. 9:41:11 PM

+. + I don't know how to break this to Scoble, but a dog humping your leg is not happy. He is asserting dominance. He is threatened by your presence, and is trying to show you who's boss. Not a problem with a small dog, but if you're working with a Dane or a St. Bernard it can be an extreme eye-opener. [ViewFromTheHeart] Lily will occasionally hump her bed. That will show her bed who's the boss. :) 3:32:14 AM

Birthday dinner
It was my wife's birthday this past Thursday. She requested my Rack of Lamb stuffed with Garlic and Herbs for dinner. So I made that for her and her parents, sister, and brother-in-law. I made three racks this time. It came out a little more rare than usual, next time I'll have to bump up the time if I am doing more than one rack. 3:03:07 AM

Rolling Stones

We saw the Rolling Stones last night Mellon Arena (Where the Pittsburgh Penguins play). It was a pretty good show. The Stones have so much music out that I only recognized 6 or 7 songs. I'm not a huge Stones fan. It's not because I don't like them, I just never got into there music. I have to say it seemed like time is catching up with Mick. Maybe I was overanticipating it, but I had always heard that he was really active on stage. It was good, but I think that I like smaller venues better. 11:31:51 PM
