Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Hey, @G-Dog ! Thanks for remembering! We had a wonderful time! Carey came along to keep me out of trouble but I still found some (more on that later). We arrived in Fairbanks at 8:00 at night and immediately went to Taco Bell for dinner. The next morning we had the Best Western Hotel schmendefaire of cereals, waffles, scrambled eggs, etc. I made my own waffle for the first time in two years!Welcome back, Will! How was the convention in Fairbanks?
Mrs. Dog & I spent most of last week in a big city helping a daughter-in-law with her 6-month-old son while our son was on a business trip. Actually, helping ourselves to all the grandbaby snuggles we could get away with, is more like it! Take advantage of big city culture? Naw! Unless grocery shopping counts. We left them well stocked with food and 12-months sized baby clothes, 'cause he's a big 'un.
.
I went to the Alaska Federation of Natives convention, and immediately got in trouble. When Governor Dunleavey started to speak, about half the auditorium stood up with their backs to him in protest of all his cuts in government services. That landed me on the Anchorage Daily News front page!
We wrote up a bunch of resolutions for Congress regarding child care, subsistence, sovereignty, and other issues.There were lots of dancers and we had Native food banquets for lunch.
Speaking of eating-- we managed to eat at Denneys, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Kentucky Fried, and A&W's in three days! LOL! We went to Fred Meyers and stocked up on a few items and bought a new crock pot for cold winter months soups etc.
It was a wonderful trip! Thanks again for asking!
It sounds like your trip most likely topped mine for happiness-- buying for the family and your new spoiled grandchild. I'm glad you had a good time! Hope you get to visit for the holidays.

Good to see you here. Sorry about the Taco Bell thing. My guess is the entire Taco Bell menu was drawn up by a serious stoner.
I had bugger all to do with it!....

Well hey, speaking of the blues. Here whut I posted over at the blues bass(ist) club along with other news.
In that "other" news, doing a photo sitting to-morrow so that I have some proper pics to present my readiness to get into the (new and unknown, but lively) local blues scene.

My guess would have been John Entwistle with a Russian Wolfhound, much like Colonel Mustard in the library with a lead pipe.
All this photo stuff - having never been an exactly willing subject - is kind of big news for me as. As 25 months ago I stepped down from an offer to join a newly forming blues band on account of my health. Far as I'm concerned, we all should be free to remain in great health all our days. Working on it ....

Sure are a lot of "come hither" looks.
And distinctly different poses for male models. Male model poses can be roughly summed up as "I wonder what time it is?" and "what's that off there in the distance?"
A lot of it is tricks like lifting the head and eyebrows to tighten the face, one leg in front of the other. Twisting the body to present the camera with the thinnest looking surface.

It's said a gentleman is a man who can describe Dolly Parton without using his hands.

The sales professional didn't mention the bits that wear out can only be accessed by dropping the engine.
I don't think I had a very good "sales professional", or else I'da bought a different model! Or I was too young to make an informed decision. Nope! I believe I was assigned this one without my input. Either way, here I is! (sigh)
