Yeep! First! I’m at the airport—my second home these days—waiting to board my flight. As usual, my access to this here blog will be limited, but I’ll be thinking of all youse. Since Luna and Belle Starr are off on Smooching duty, I left Elmer, one of our rescues in charge. It is his first time in charge. We’ll see how it goes.
9:07 am on September 23rd, 2013
Clear skies and soft landings, SnowBella.
Mom is up early this morning. New vet for her.
Morning everybuddy.
9:11 am on September 23rd, 2013
Good morning Bella and all.
LuLu is spending today with us and then heading back to her new home tomorrow. She has really settled in here, so it will be a little adjustment for her. She was with Jim and Judy for 6 days and now she has been here for 12. She is a sweet girl for an obnoxious puppy. I sort of see Sammy’s point.
9:15 am on September 23rd, 2013
Macy: I hope your mom feels better soon. Tenzing wants me to remind you that he makes a great pillow.
Maggie: You’ve been very good to take LuLu under paw. I am so happy she found her forever home and that it is one filled with love and kindness.
About to board. Head bumps.
9:23 am on September 23rd, 2013
That is a good name for a book store. Have a good trip.
Good morning all.
9:27 am on September 23rd, 2013
From Barb: The 16th for brunch should work great. Looking forward to it!
I don’t get in till 3:30 on Friday, and then dinner is at 6:30, so Saturday brunch works the best.
Gotta go – Fred is coming over to poop in my yard. He is restricted from his yard after he murdered 2 baby bunnies yesterday. Jamie called Barb over, cuz she is a city girl and didn’t know what to do. Barb helped her reconstruct the nest, wearing gloves, and got the other 5 babies back in and covered them with dry grass. Their mama came back at dusk and fed them, so hopefully they will be ok.
9:36 am on September 23rd, 2013
Important question for Spence or Admin, or Chet if he knows the answer. Is the 7:00 pm time tomorrow EDT or PDT (or some other DT)? Inquiring minds want to know.
9:45 am on September 23rd, 2013
Zone!…Which time zone is Spencer in right now?…grunt!…I want to watch the live stream, live…heh!
9:54 am on September 23rd, 2013
Gooood morning, everyone! Yes, Wookie/Teddy’s Dad. We’d like to know too!
Sounds like a busy Monday all around. Safe travels to Rebecca. Maggie, you are such a patient girl. Macy, hope your mom is tip top soon. Rio, you’re on early!
Have a mahvelous Monday!
10:32 am on September 23rd, 2013
http://phoenix.about.com/cs/weather/qt/timezone.htm
Mountain time zone. There is a link in this link to tell you the time in Phoenix right now. Whenever your right now is.
I am going to try to watch this. Should be fun! Heh heh heh…
Travel day today.
10:44 am on September 23rd, 2013
What!…Spencer is back in my Time Zone?…snort!snort!…That is awesome. I know for sure my friend will get to watch the Live-Stream live now…chuffle!
11:01 am on September 23rd, 2013
Chet! What’s with Spence zip-zapping around the country…from the East coast to the West coast and back again to Phoenix?
Never mind that…we will be watching the Live-Stream from Phoenix tonight.
Have a Good Day Everyone. It is Time for my Breakfast.
11:01 am on September 23rd, 2013
Staff: TY for that link. AZ time always confuses us.
RIO: Note AZ is MST Standard, not daylight. Right now they are on Pacific Time or an hour behind you.
11:07 am on September 23rd, 2013
Arizona is one of those states that tries to confuse everyone by not utilizing daylight savings time. So when the rest of us poor fools have to roll clocks forward or back, people in Arizona just sit back and snicker.
Good morning all. As much as we love the beach, it was very nice to sleep in our own soft beds, even without baseball toys.
11:15 am on September 23rd, 2013
The Emmys were not watched here last night and it’s a good thing; we would have been yowling along with the rest of youse.
Are these shows even real? Sometimes I wonder.
Staff & HOH: Thanks for the info on tonight’s signing at The Poisoned Pen in Phoenix.
11:18 am on September 23rd, 2013
Masquers: Tomorrow for the Spence thing.
11:21 am on September 23rd, 2013
Greetings All!
T&G: There’s no place like home! So glad you had a wonderful vacation.
Rebecca: Happy trails and safe travel to you!
Belle Starr: I know you are on smooching duty, but I have a question. Your mama was on the calendar for this year, are you going to be on the calendar this year??? It will be the sparkliest page of all.
Macy: Hope your mom feels tip-top soon.
11:22 am on September 23rd, 2013
Hey, can I watch that live stream? What time for us New Yorkers?
11:52 am on September 23rd, 2013
HOH: oOps. Thank you!
Rose: As I understand it, Phoenix time without the daylight savings factor thrown in is the same as PDT.
We are 3 hours behind youse.
11:58 am on September 23rd, 2013
Thank you, Masquers.
12:03 pm on September 23rd, 2013
T&G’s Mama: Mom is twirling! She has a postcard š Even better, it has an apple stamp. Mom’s apple collection is out of control!
12:05 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Hello All.
Two-leggers are still stressing here.
Chato is coming home tonight.
12:36 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I’m finally home in Canada. I have a lot of catching up to do. On the blog and around the house.
I’ve been without computer for days and now I find out mine isn’t working. Bah!
12:51 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I found where to click on for the live stream on that bookstore’s website. They are giving the time of Spence’s appearance in Eastern Time…strange.
Fellow Sibers, Chato must be doing good if he can come home this soon.
12:51 pm on September 23rd, 2013
O’Howlers: Thinking of you and Chato.
Macy: Paws crossed your mom will have Pawsitive News from her new two-legged’s v*e*t.
Hi Dawson! Good to hear from you! We missed you on the Blog.
12:58 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Thanks BearSpiritDog!
Hey! I can attend a book signing via live streaming. That may be the only way I can see Spencer in action.
1:00 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Home, Dawson is and Chato is coming. Siber, TY for checking the Spence site.
1:01 pm on September 23rd, 2013
The Original HOH is up top. A good looking bunch.
I am making a list of all the errands I have to run.
I really just want to stay home and read TSATF.
Rio: There is a pug involved.
1:13 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Dawson!…Whatever it was, I did not do it!…snort!
1:31 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Pug, did you stay up late enough to see the end of the Emmys?
1:39 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Macy!…I did not!…grunt!…I was so flippin’ mad. Went to bed in a huffle!…snort!
1:41 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Do you know “what show” won best?
1:42 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Winner!…But Breaking Bad did win Outstanding Drama!…snort!…So the Emmys redeemed themselves, sort of…grunt!
1:42 pm on September 23rd, 2013
1:43 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Writers!…And actors got robbed…sniff!
1:47 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I too got a postcard from the beach and it is tucked away in my case of special Snowhook-related items.
I hope everyone’s doctor/vet appointments go well today and tomorrow. I am traveling today to Anchorage and trying to decide when to leave. It snowed all night and the temps are right at that dangerous zone where the roads have black ice. I was going to wait a couple of more hours but the temps aren’t going to change until late in the day. The first mountain pass has a winter advisory for the next several hours. GAH!
2:10 pm on September 23rd, 2013
C.Hobbit, I will be so glad when you no longer have to drive back and forth. The climate will be so much better in Anchorage.
2:48 pm on September 23rd, 2013
C.Hobbit & Sadie Bear: Safe Trip back to Anchorage.
Ditto to what Siber-H said.
SnowBella: Flying High to the Top of World (again). Let us hope that “certain” stew is NOT on the menu.
Safe travels to you.
2:51 pm on September 23rd, 2013
CHobbit!…Do not drive if you do not half to…snort!… Wait for better weather by golly!…wheeze!
2:53 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Yes, safe travels to Rebecca and C.Hobbit and Sadie.
2:56 pm on September 23rd, 2013
O’Howlers & Macy: Check in with News Updates as soon as you are able.
(funny cartoon, Macy!)
2:58 pm on September 23rd, 2013
B&M: How are you liking Windows 8 so far? Did you say you also bought a new tablet? If so, what kind.
3:29 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Time Zone? I don’t even know what day it is!
Macy’s Mom, hope they can zap those stones instead of operating.
Safe Travel to All!
Zombie Melanie was around this morning. Went to bed early and my brain decided to wake up at 3 am. I did get back to sleep, but my brain would not shut up.
Took a walk with the Pack. Waltzing Mathilda, we should have never named her that, tangled Zoƫ up with her lead, got free and took the Pack walk about.
ZoĆ« crawled under a fence – I was heading her off from a different way – and got most of the Pack back. She started them back to the van. Mac noticed them leaving so he came back. Mattie strolled back, crawled through the fence, and sat down to wait for the van. HA! She walked back. ZoĆ« met us halfway.
That woman can swear!
Next was being on hold for almost two hours trying to get something straight with the bank. Finally had to drive down there and prove I was me.
3:33 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Macy – Mama says she would get that cartoon as a tattoo, cuz it happens to her every single ding dong day.
We just talked to Melanie. She has been having a “fun-filled” day with many, many things happening all at once. She said she may or may not be on the blog today – depends on if she can keep her eyes open after all her running around this morning and afternoon.
3:34 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Well, I guess that answers whether Melanie will be on the blog today.
3:36 pm on September 23rd, 2013
About those time zones. When is OFA on where I am?
3:38 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Royals, I finally sat down. It is wonderful.
3:42 pm on September 23rd, 2013
If Spence is speaking at 7PM Arizona time and they are not on daylight savings time, then he will be speaking at 10PM Eastern Daylight Savings time.
3:42 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Zombie Melanie: Someone Here may have caught a glimpse of you in that Other Reality…the one between sleep & waking…although in both our cases it was more awake than sleep. And, of course, by the time one falls asleep it is time to awake-up.
Hospitals & Financial Institutions. Ain’t Life Fun!
3:45 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Melanie: Ah, the Dreaded Math Story Problem…the answer of which is always…HUH?
3:51 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Thank you, B.Stover. I hate to say this, but I hope I’m not awake.
BearSpiritDog, I believe I caught a glimpse of you in passing.
Next up. ZoĆ«’s Otter Cover came for her iPhone. They have directions get your phone in, but not how to get it apart so as to get your phone near it. Sigh.
There’s always tomorrow.
3:52 pm on September 23rd, 2013
And Spence is speaking tomorrow night not tonight.
3:52 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Looks like I won’t be watching the live stream. Ten o’clock?! I’ve been in bed for about 1 1/2 by then.
3:56 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I’ll still be in bed by then.
3:58 pm on September 23rd, 2013
RIO! Your friend hasn’t started her new busy place yet, has she? Don’t forget September 26th….a special day. And two days before I meet the Ruff Rider and his mom and pop!
4:05 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Melanie: Does today’s walk-about quality you for physical pfffft-ness?
BSD: We’re still working on “Do you walk to work or carry your lunch?”.
CHobbit: Br safe!
T&G: Glad you’re home.
4:23 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Wose: The Instructions at Live-Steam lead us to believe one can catch the signings later at their convenience. But then again we may be wrong…the brain fog is closing in again.
4:35 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Bear, At least your brain fog clears away. Hopefully, I can watch on live-stream delay. :^)
4:42 pm on September 23rd, 2013
We got our card from T & G’s folks today. I think she mentioned LOBSTERS! Thank you Amalia.
Windows 8, not having much trouble with it, but then again, I think it is because we open up the Desktop icon, and use it the old fashioned way. Barb has to move into new territory slowly. But it is so nice to have the speed and wonderful clear screen as opposed to the old piece of junk.
Did not get a tablet – got a new I Phone 4S. Fun to use, but haven’t done much except call people so far. Did I mention SLOWLY? That is the way Old Farts have to do it.
5:30 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Physically fit? cough cough cough cough . . sorry, something got caught in my throat. Went a “bit” further and up and down some small inclines. Yikes.
Anyhoo, lets see if this works. This was before the mass get-a-way. You might have to do the head tilt.

5:30 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Zoned-Out!…So what time will Spencer be Streaming-Live?…sniff! …I’m really confused..grunt!
5:34 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Bling!…I’m so confused I lost my bling!…gah!
5:35 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Back!…That’s better…sniff!
5:36 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Rio: I think that Spence will be speaking tomorrow night at 8 your time.
5:49 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Melanie: Love the orange vests š Understand the need.
Rio: We vote with B. Should be 8 your time.
Barb: Mom didn’t have to become an old fart to take slowly to new ideas.
7:37 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Have now finished covering part of the garden with a tarp. Harvested some green tomatoes. That part of the garden will have to take its chances.
I’m tired . . BBL
7:48 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Stream!…How do youse figure 8:00pm?…sniff!…If I am on daylight savings time and I had to Spring Forward an hour to save daylight somehow…grump!…And Arizona Did Not Spring Forward – how the hell are they one more hour ahead of me?…grunt!
7:51 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Wait!…Youse said 8:00pm MY TIME…sniff!…That sounds about right, I guess….grunt!….I was thinking Arizona time for some dumb-ass reason….gurgle!
8:27 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Rio, I think it will be at 8:00 our time. We just need to pretend that Arizona is on Pacific Coast time, which, in a sense, they are.
8:54 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Daylight!…Savings Time irritates me…grump!
8:54 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Time…it Boggles the Mind…and right now I am going to give mine a much needed rest.
But first din-din – Bear
8:57 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I hate Daylight Savings Time.
9:03 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Bear!…Did you and Maskers watch the latest “Breaking Bad” yet?…gasp!wheeze!gasp!…We are watching right now. Beau is very pissed off because he wants to watch the Broncos on Monday Night Football…heh!heh!chorkel!
9:11 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I was hoping Beau would let me know how the Broncos are doing tonight.
9:12 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Mom doesn’t care what time it is, she just hates the changes. No matter which way it goes, she has trouble adjusting to the different daylight hours.
9:29 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Gray-Matter!..I am so sad now. I think I know what Walter White is going to do, an it ain’t good…sniffle!…I will wait for Maskers and Bear to weigh in on this before I say anything more….wheeze!
9:30 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Okay!…Now we can watch The Broncos…heh!
9:31 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Sneeze!…It is about dang-derned time…dagnabit!…sneeze!…My beloved Broncos here I comes…wheeze!
9:37 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Sneeze!…Wow!Wow!…Just in time to see da next touchdown….wooohoohoo!…sneeze!…Dose Broncs are ahead by 16 ta nothing right now….whoop!whoop!
9:42 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Sniff!…sniff!…Uh-oh. When Beau gets excited it never smells real good around here…grump!
9:57 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Sneeze!…I dunno about youse guys, but I think Peyton Manning has completely taken over the whole team…eh!heh!heh!…He is da Head Coach and da Quarterback and da guy who trains all dose other guys he throws da ball to…sneeze!…He is a one-man football machine….wheeze!…How da hell were da Broncos so lucky to get him anyways?…heh!…SuperBowl here we comes!…Guffle!Gasp!
9:59 pm on September 23rd, 2013
We will be back tomorrow. Night all. Enjoy the game, Beau.
10:00 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Ok, here’s the latest, at least as I figure it.
Lovely nurse practitioner. Acted like there were no other patients in the building. Took all the records I brought and actually talked to the doc about them. Neither of them think it is kidney related, but muscular maybe. (I don’t THINK so)It feels deeper if that makes any sense. Anywoot, all that showed on the bloodwork (which BTW, I got the results same day, on the interwebs)was pre-diabetic which I think is just a result of OAF syndrome (old and fat)BUT, the real doc wants to see me back Thursday, no idea what his deal is, maybe he just thinks I’m cute, cough,hack,wheeze.
10:02 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Rockies!…The Rockies could still do sumthing….wuffle!kick!
10:02 pm on September 23rd, 2013
GO BRONCOS!!
Superbowl! I have been thinking the same thing, Beau.
We for sure are not going to the World Series or the playoffs or….
Walter White is going to die. I just know it.
10:05 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Home. Chato is now back home, disguised as the Masked Marauder. We are beat. Talk more tomorrow. G’night.
10:06 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Name!…How come my name was misspelled?…grump!
Macy!…Sounds like you at least like your new Doc better than the other old Doc…sniff!…This is a big thing and hopefully they will get to the bottom of your troubles. My friend tolerates her doc and her doc’s assistant…grunt!…Barely.
10:09 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Sneeze!…Dose Rockies are in da basement right now Rio…eh!heh!heh!…Dey are not going to climb out in time to do squat – get over it…sneeze!churgle!heh!…My Broncs are gonna winnit ALL…wheeze!fart!
10:10 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Gah!…I can’t breath down here….gasp!
10:25 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Macy’s Mom, isn’t it nice that someone almost listened to you? I like that in a medical practitioner. Now what we need are some that are not practicing.
Anyhoo, it occurred to me that maybe my practitioner should do the Pet Scan first. Much more friendly than large needles. I will be asking the doc that as soon as the hellos are over.
HOH, tell your ma I’m with her on that time change. When I came back fro England once, my body rhythms got stuck in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Riƶ, sorry that Beau’s joy is causing some pollution. Snicker
O’Howlers, I’ll be thinking about Dima and your pirate.
OH and Siber-H, after that video of the Siberian having such a good time in the leaves, we thought about adding to the Pack. I remembered your projects in the back yard, and nixed that idea. The house would probably fall into the river.
Could use some good thoughts for YSAS and LLL, they are waiting to hear about an apartment.
TTFN
10:26 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Rio I think you are going to hate football season. So sorry.
We had a good trip home and Alice told Mr.Staff that I was here so he came to the back door and gave me a hug. Nice to be home.
Nighty noodles everyone.
11:25 pm on September 23rd, 2013
I did it! I channeled my inner SiberH and made my way to the Arctic Ocean tonight. I was able to collect 8, maybe 10 ounces of the Arctic Ocean in my water bottle. I stopped when I got soaked to the knees, it started to get dark and remembered reading about a polar bear sighting. Yeep!
11:34 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Arrived safe & sound in Anchorage. Going to turn up the heat and then take a nap before unloading car. Night everyone..
11:37 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Yark!….Rebecca. Go back to the hotel or where ever you are staying tonight and do not talk to any Polar Bears…wheeze!…Whatever am I going to do with youse!??…gah!
Chapter 8!…Someone, not Beau, decided she was bored with the football game and so we started reading about the Boutettes again…heh!heh!…This is my favorite book and we have not even gotten to hear anymore about You-know-who yet…chorkel!
11:39 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Yark Again!…CHobbit! You crazy lil’ Hobbit, you!…snuffle!…I’m so happy you and Sadie made it safe and sound over those icy roads…wheeze!
11:40 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Rio: I am at my ‘home’ for the night. No spoilers! I’ve been too busy to read a certain book by a certain favorite author.
11:41 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Melanie: By my calculations, your story problem from the first page is correct. The math checks out.
CHH: Get some sleep little Hobbit.
11:45 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Glad everyone is home and safe for the night. Except maybe Rio who may need a pug size gas mask.
Meanwhile we need some not-so-autumnal weather until October. Right now we have no furnace – the old one bit it, and the new one arrives next week. Hot water yes, heat no. Glad we have quilts, blankets and Corgis.
11:47 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Spoilers!…None from me!…heh!heh!..Not even if you paid me in cold hard cash…snort!…Okay, finished another EXCELLANT Chapter so it is off to bed for us here…snorkel!yawn….Happy to hear from both our Alaskan Heroines tonight…heh!
11:53 pm on September 23rd, 2013
Royal Parents
Macy says no offense, but this year’s lobster tastes like cardboard. I, however, liked it very much. Glad you are all tucked back into your own little beds.
