Duncanpup's JournalA surprise for my wife ,We're on the list at the maternity ward a Golden retriever puppy.
After swimming at the quarry yesterday the boys and I stopped. To ask these Mennonite dairy farmers if they had a litter of pups yet. It is not a puppy mill and there dogs are well taken care of. They did just have a litter and oh my the pups are three days old. The boys and I were keeping this hush hush as it is a surprise for their mom.
Mother golden wanted a good ear scratch. And father golden wanted to show us his rope toy to play. She had a litter of seven were number eight on list. So if anyone declines were in for a male pup. She said do not worry if we do not have . Her brother who lives one hour away has three females and three litters a year if all their pups go. They do not have papers I do not care so theyre cheaper than a breeder.
June seventh is our 34th wedding anniversary. So by July will hopefully have a anchor baby. For my dear wife and our twelve year old Golden retriever Mr big paws. Im the third wheel in my wife and mr big paws relationship he loves us all. He has it bad for my wife so sweet and innocent.
We took the right paw boog the chocolate lab to physical therapy this morning
The menace to society the knucklehead is ten he has a bad hip. We have him on medicine. He knew as the boys and I turned down the road towards the pond it is a old rock quarry that filled up I was told in the 1930s. He was shaking and shivering whining with excitement I know this place it is fun fun place.
As soon as the door was open he was off. Like a chocolate rocket well now at a fast hobble. He Flys off the dock and splash and the ducks were flying off. Starts swimming and smiling we joined him swimming we would go swinging off the rope hes like physical therapy with the man and my boys is awesome he is like great belly flop boy 2. I hope it helps him with his arthritis and keeps him limber.
He really is a load our one son was on a float raft. And he swam over like come on boy help me up I need to lounge with you. And his human brothers helped him on the raft. And pushed the big chocolate load around the pond.
In these times of turmoil Im laid off collecting unemployment no whine. My wife is working from home. Rumor is call back July. Maybe ten years hope take my union pension. But moments like this morning Ill take them. Boog is out hes exhausted my boys out playing basketball in driveway. There is a formula to his physical therapy first we swim then we stop and get ice cream.
Our one son is bi racial ,So police are engaging those who protest George Floyd's murder
Tear gas rubber ammo as they make contact with those who are protesting a mans murder. Yet police will not engage those clown patriots who show up. With assault rifles flying Nazi flags or the confederate flag with tear gas or rubber rounds. This shit is upside down we all know it.
Our one son came to us through foster care years ago. We adopted and I joke and tell him hes the first African American Slav in the tribe as he has our last name. It is last name Eastern European. As his father is black his mom is white. He has his fathers features in being dark skinned.
I told him this before and again if you ever find yourself compromised by police. No sudden moves just chill listen to what they say. And if you can try and turn on phone video to record or at least catch audio.
George Floyd was murdered and Im just upset. Ask how many white men has this officer ever dealt with resisting arrest are they dead. I told my wife think if after the Emancipation proclamation, hold on Im trying to say yes that happened in 1863 the order by Abe. Would it not have been awesome and Im saying if we welcomed the three or four million Americans that were enslaved after 1865 as equal citizens.
A anger rant or ramble this is so tragic fucked up.
Sometimes my wife just let's me know , how screwed up I am
This morning so far
My wife - you know we have a keurig. Why do you always percolate coffee. You do know were living in the twenty first century.
Teb- Here you go as I hand her a coffee from the twenty first century coffee machine.
She grabs her creamer
My wife - Did you hit the 12 ounce brew instead of the 10 ounces. These mugs really should have 10 ounce brew because of there size.
So now she pours out coffee so she can have the correct amount of coffee to cream ratio.
As she is eating her danish. I sit down with my bagel. And grab the first plastic utensil out of the container on the bar. Yup it was a spoon.
My wife- Why would you use a spoon to put cream cheese on a bagel.
Teb - What is the problem I get the same results. Then sarcasm I said I actually prefer a spork to use applying cream cheese. Really dear think about it a spork is like a Swiss Army knife of plastic utensils.
I was ignored as she read the morning paper.
They ate Rats at Vicksburg
In pickup earlier with my guys making a pie run. We got behind another pickup flying stars and bars actually a flag . Its quite common here where we live less than 20 miles from Gettysburg hallowed ground.
We were talking how foolish and ignorant these people are. And I gave my boys a history lesson. The one percent then the plantation owners. So imagine some poor confederate trooper who was born poor and illiterate.
Winds up and example I gave may of 1863 bagging it trying to hold ground with Pemberton Against Grants army and now you are screwed surrounded no chance of breakout as the army is pushed into Vicksburg. And those poor soldiers born into poverty. And lied to so theyd fight for the slave owners to own another human. They died from wounds disease. They ate rats dogs horses to stay alive in that Hell. Goes to show the power of our will to survive.
Now I seriously doubt the moron in front of us I said. Actually understands what price the confederate infantry or army paid out gunned out manufactured . With his confederate flag flying he actually thinks hes a patriot perhaps. So beware of people flying patriotic bull spouting our way of life. Ok I rant but morons piss me off. Its my job to warn my boys always beware.
? As a parent I'm losing playing nickel dime poker with our sons
7 and 5 card stud and Im losing to these card sharks. And would it be proper as a parent now to hand them their bill for cyber school lunches. What do you think a fair price for bologna and cheese or a tuna melt multiply say 55 days multiply by three card hustlers.
They will not let me buy in with the $4 I found on the bar. Come on guys let me in Im feeling a hot streak now. Savages I tell you.
We paid our respect this morning my boys and I
One trooper from 187 th Airborne combat team rakkasan Korea
One trooper from 101st 502nd Vietnam
Flowers and Flags were placed and moments of silence for what it is worth to Honor these men.
Just putting this out so these fine Americans are not forgotten.
Slow roast boneless ribs ? Should I braise the ribs first
Recipe says in the oven 3 to 5 hours at 250 degrees covered.
After 90 minutes paint them with more sauce
Then paint them with sauce every 30 minutes
I personally like bone in ribs but my guys do not. Hope this turns out delicious
Sides are cornbread Amish Lima baked beans coleslaw green beans and homemade potato salad.
Thank you in advance for the help.
The Boog the chocolate lab and Teb.
Senator Kennedy from Louisiana reminds me of mr Haney from green acres

In these times of turmoil I find humor a Monty python holy grail moment trout fishing
Trout fishing with our boys today. Now these two like to get a jump on dad I get it. Its a competition try to beat the old man my brothers and I were same. So I like to fish and cast up stream. So we hit this secluded part of a nice trout stream below this old rock quarry and rail road bridge. The stream runs out of two state parks and hugs the southern mountain close to Appalachian trail.
Anyway my two fatheads fifteen and sixteen gotta get the jump. And try and beat dad working upstream. Theyre maybe 25 meters above me as Im working this nice hole and in the past Ive caught trout here It breaks off fast water and slows down in a bend.
I look up hearing splashing and my two meatheads come splashing towards me in chest waders, on the edge of this deep hole. Im like what are you guys doing I get snake dad snake big snake its a rattler in the water its in the water dad coming down stream. The big snake turned out to be a tree branch they saw floating towards them. Afterwards we were having burgers and fries at local ice cream stand. And I said it was like the Holy grail Run away.
