I'm back sort of. Bandaids off. Vision way better. Still fragile, so doc said behave.

Now I have 2 grafts and 2 eye lifts! Score!

And back in my bed after 4 weeks in a chair.
Welcome back! "Behave", huh? Sounds like good advice, even if it isn't maybe quite as much fun. Are the doggies behaving, too? Jokes aside, I am happy to hear your vision is better. What a relief.

Lol behave, don't over do it, don't wash the grafts, stay out of strong winds.
Don't let the pups lick it! They sure try!

Nice to be able to bend over again. I can feed my pups, surprising how often you do bend over.

My neighbor has been doing it.

I put together this compilation of 2024 memories, at least the ones that were photographed. I won't lie, it was a rough year from the start. But looking back on it, it turned out to be one of the most unique and random years I've ever had. From a 93% solar eclipse, to seeing the northern lights for the first time ever (and then four more times after that), to seeing an old steam train, and going to my first two dirt races, my second ever NASCAR race. Plus, bald eagles flying over my yard, owls in my neighbor's tree, a comet, two great camping trips, the skydiving event, aerial refueling over my house, seeing air force two for the first time, seeing the Italian jet team, and the Thunderbirds in Milwaukee.

What an amazing year!

I've been going through A LOT of my late grandparents old photos lately. Thousands! I've found so many amazing photos. Thought I'd share a couple cool finds.

Back in the day, trolleys used to operate in town along the lakefront. They were pretty cool to see from time to time and one of those things locals would always associate with our city. Like all cool things, they were eventually sold off and there went that. But when I was little, my grandma and aunt brought me and two of my cousins on a trolley ride to the zoo. I've always remembered that day vaguely but never knew until now that photos of it existed. I was shocked when I came across them! I remember the trolley ride more than I remember the zoo.

In one of my grandpa's photo books, I found two photos from what appear to be an Indy 500. I'm hoping to figure out what year but currently have no clue. Since I'm such a racing fan this was such a cool find for me. I want to try to make better copies of them and maybe hang them on my racing-themed wall.

After some research, I figured out the Indy photos!

It's the 1957 Indy 500.

First photo: #88 Eddie Sachs, #12 Pat O'Connor.
Second photo: #54 Paul Russo.

Our lil ones will eat anything they can grab. We must have Yorkie proof. Once the younger ones grow up more it will be safer.
Still in the munch stage.

my issue with multiple dogs is when one is told something they all think its to them. takes many hours to get individual commands identified. telling jake to sit and not have spot and fido do the same is always tough
