Moving into TV's new generation

Okay, so I have been a little behind the times when it comes to my TV recording capability, still relying on my old VCR... Well, yesterday I finally traded my digital cable boxes for a DVR. I will begin this week by recording "The View" and "Ellen" for my evening pleasure (I've missed Rosie and Ellen far too long). The lady at the TWC office was amused at my delight and confused as to why it took me so long to make the move. The reason was due more to the location of the TWC office than anything else. I hate driving downtown in Ithaca if I don't have to. Yesterday was a rainy day so I decided to make the trip. I'll report back later in the week to let you know if I like it!

Latest picture of my boys!

Kobe has been a bit under the weather today. This has been my first experience with learning what the phrase "sick as a dog" really means. He didn't get up when I did this morning so I came home at lunch to check on him and he was lying on the kitchen floor. He didn't follow me into the bathroom for the first time since I've owned him, that's when I knew he was really sick. I loaded him into the truck for a visit to the vet and must be the ride jiggled him just right, because when we arrived he proceeded to take a big dump! Soon after he was wiggly and almost back to normal. The doc says he'll be fine, probably just ate something nasty. He's been very quiet all afternoon. Anyhow, I snapped this picture of Kobe and Sparky a few days ago and I thought I'd share. Enjoy the weekend!

Annual Seebers Memorial Ride

I took this picture at the Balsam Inn on Sunday during the annual Seebers Memorial Ride. Seebers is a quaint place in Smithville Flats, NY. The annual ride attracted more than 200 bikes this year. It was a very nice day for a ride!

Latest Addition!

My friend Amy told me last night I should post a picture of my latest addition, so here it is! It's a Chinese version of a R71 BMW, and yes, it arrived complete and with the sidecar! Kobe loves it and I have to admit it's quite a bit of fun to drive. It certainly turns some heads as I cruise down the road. Have a great weekend! We're planning to go on a ride tomorrow and if we do I should have some great pictures to post.

Labor Day!

Read all about the history of Labor Day at this government site: U.S. Department of Labor. Labor Day is a holiday devoted to the people who work to make this country great! Enjoy a day off everyone! And for those of you who are stuck working... I hope someone is expecially nice to you while you work today.
