Bill,
Is Buster T old enough to drive yet? I see that these other dog enablers let their dogs drive.

28RPU,
Tongue looked like a SNAKE! Did you know that dogs fold up their tongues when they close their mouth? Dogs lap water by curving their tongue UNDER and dumpin' the water into the BOTTOM of their mouth, REALLY!!
More later, gotta' get back to my research on "The Nutritional Value of ONIONS! Bill W.

Hot about 88F if my conversion is right - No jackets unless you wish to see Doctor Karl treat you for heatstroke - When on duty I would use IV fluids. Off duty we use beer !! Karl

Hi Bill~~~~~~~I don't know your story, but I've been there where loneliness really hurts so bad that you become paralyzed by it. My first wife passed away 12 years ago, but before she died, she sat me down in the love seat, and said, I don't what you to sit around feeling sorry for yourself, I'm going to a far better place. Get out there and do all the things you've every wanted to do, reach out to another good women and get on with your life. After wondering around in a numb state for months, her statement seem to start ringing in my ears loud and clear. That's when I got a computer and went on the scariest adventure of my life. I sign on to Match.com and after many meet and greets,~~~I met the women that I mentioned in my post ( Nine Women and Kiwi who brought me to Ford Barn). I'm not a shrink, just worked the Tool and Die trade for 40 years, but you might be alone, but you don't have to be lonely, it's a choice. I'd like to meet you someday, Bill, I've never know a Guru.

ModelA,
Haven't decided yet to make Buster a ROAD DOG. He's 6 years old, I've had him for a year now.
Wish you lived close, I have a whole mess of Abbott & Costello VHS movies in a collection of 493 that I "stole" for $115.00! I also have all 22 James Bond 007's! If I don't watch all them before I CROAK, I'm taking the un-watched ones with me so Chief & I can watch them together! Bill W.

My wife and I spent the last few days in SoCal with daughters, grandchildren, and dogs. It was a very pleasant holiday, but we're glad to be home again with our dogs. We missed them and they missed us. I'll be back in my garage again tomorrow. Gonna spend New Years with a bunch of neighbors.

Thanks!
For all the Christmas Invites & all the MERRY wishes, here's the probem, Gregg threw out my old Mayan Calender & put up a new one, just LOST 5 days & I won't know when I'm s'posed to be "MERRY"! Should I use them days to finish the car, or should I polish my baseboards?? I'm not all here yet after napping! Chief used to say, "I'm like an old GOOSE, by morning, I fergot all I knew & had to be totally RE-TRAINED"!! I didn't believe that though, that sucker could work CIRCLES around me. Bill W.

Bill, If you lived closer you would have been more than welcome to spend Christmas with us. We were at my parents house, with my Grandma showing up and both of my Grandsons there we had 5 generations accounted for. Unfortunately my oldest 2 daughters had to work, but am and I picked up the Grandsons on our way out of town. It was a real good day. Rod

Bill, 55 years...not many have reached that...post some old time photos of you and your gal! I'll be down in the summer and my kids and wife and I will stop by Fresno. To say hello in person. It'll be a treat. Blessings to you, your dog and your wife in Heaven.
