America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

Man I feel for the pupper and for yall. When we lost Rocco it was a huge kick to the heart. Even though he is gone he is still a huge part of our lives. We talk about him still almost everyday. Our other dogs do things that remind us of him regularly which is actually a good thing. It has brought laughter and tears to us both. We enjoy talking about all the good times and the crazy things that only Rocco would do. Even though it does remind us of him being gone, it also reminds us how lucky we was to have him in our lives and those memories I would not trade for all the money in the world.

My wife actually went and had Rocco's name and the date we lost him tattooed on her arm with a puppy paw print. His urn and photo still sits on my wifes side of the bed on the bedside table. I still catch her sitting there looking at it and vice versa. We still will pull out the photos of Rocco and look at them often. He was a huge part of our lives and he will be it seems for the rest of our lives.

Enjoy what time you have with em, Take plenty of photos as they will come in very very handy later on.

When my wife and I go over the photos of Rocco and we start talking about the things he would do it is almost as if he is still here but in a different way. That my friend is a great comfort for us and gives us both a deep feeling of warmth. Then we get to talking about when we lost him about how all of our friends including here on the forums had stepped up to console us in our loss. This just added more to that feeling of warmth when it comes to Rocco. It is really something great that comes from something so awful such as loss.

So I would say, Take in whatever time you have left with the pupper and hold tight to the memories with both hands, Take plenty of Photos even if it is with a chity cell phone as they will help in the long haul and become one of the most prized possessions that y'all will have.

I picked Tampa..

You're welcome!

Bears have this as long as they don't screw it up in the second half.

Well... I guess the beer can chicken I made was pretty good. Wife wanted it again, so it's cookin'...

Good enough excuse to drink a beer, I s'pose.

Looks like Tampa's making a comeback..

Sorry Tampa...

Actually I'm not. Lol

Home from camping.

Think the transmission may be giving up in my truck. Full throttle to back the camper up the stone driveway. Usually needs generous throttle but never foot to the floor, usually get tire spin before I get there. Not today.... Eased into it and stopped moving, kept pushing until I was on the floor and still wasn't moving... Set the brake and chocked the wheels while we unpacked to let it cool. Half hour later I was able to back it the rest of the way up as normal.

The 2-3 shift has been odd and under heavy braking it doesn't downshift quickly enough and often need to idle forward to get to first.

Just hit 4500 hours on the truck, but only 115k miles.

5 hours to get migraine relief ugggg

I wake up to orange spicy chicken in rice with bell peppers, pineapple, and carrots with a side of Jiaozi. Man I love my wife!

Dude! that aint funny.

You know my wife will not let me have my nuts out of her purse and you know I am very sensitive about that.

I would but honestly, I think she lost em, or threw em away I haven't made up my mind.

It's all good though because now I am more aerodynamic... Like a super slow Flash!





Here is to an end of a great day well minus the migrain early on.

My wife got to see all the birthday wishes from friends and family. My neighbor, his wife and a friend of his came over. We all sit out in the garage and raised a glass of Monkey Shoulder to the wife and wished her a fantastic birthday. She really loves that stuff and so do I. I never thought I would like a triple malt but it is pretty dang tasty. We hashed out plans for the Halloween party that the wife and I are hosting for all the neighborhood kids deciding on what I am going to cook and games for the chidrens. My Neighbor, his friend, his wife and I also enjoyed a nice cuban cigar while talking all this over. My wife bless her doesn't smoke cigars. I am still trying to get her to try it but she refuses lol. It is not often I get to have good days but when I get to see my wife happy and enjoying herself it just seems like everything else goes to the wayside for a bit. It was a great day indeed.

Have a good one folks.

Up and at em.

Chevy 2500

Dudes...

Hello Ram

My Galaxy S7 downloaded and updated two 'Samsung Aps' Saturday morning. The fn phone has since rebooted itself no less than 100 times....constantly for about a 90 minute period last night --- while I was on my way to airport to pick up the wife -- not sure how we managed without cell phones in the way back

I've safe-booted; factory reset; cleared data cache; cleared system cache....unless Samsung fixes the firmware (assuming its broke), this phone is about useless

My wife just reminded me that her phone has been giving her (different) grief lately - battery/charging 'issues'....COINCIDENTALLY, both phones were just paid off in the last six weeks or so....do I sound a little too 'Jonesy' if I found myself wondering if Samsung and/or Verizon have some culpability, if not nefarious activity, here?

yeah....but...I gotta think a couple of fogies like us are curve busters --- I mean...I've seen what youngins do to phones and aside from an occasional rain storm while fishing, we ought to be WAY on the right side of that lifespan scale

I use mine. A lot. Most of my internet browsing, email, and banking goes through the phone. But I used to get two days use from a full charge. Now it's about 14 hours. Wife's phone even when not using much only lasts 8 hours. Both are frustratingly slow.

But I figure we've both got about 3 years from em, and they're a consumable, so just gotta buy new. But I'm still tempted to crack mine open, replace the battery, and root/install alternative OS without the factory software to see if it wakes it up.

Meh... Probably.
But they get cooler every year... So we want new ones anyway.

It'll probably follow the computer cycle.

There was a time when computers were obsolescing much faster, because the new OS or new games put too much demand on a computer even a couple years old. And back then we didn't care much about lifespan of a computer because we would need a new one soon anyway.

Now... A computer can be viable for years. And now they seem to last a bit longer as well....

The wife and I just got a new galaxy 9 and it acts crazy as hell had a galaxy 5 that was paid for but they we really slow and starting to do stupid **** but that phone was probably 4 years old

But dude, that is so fun!

Can't imagine watching the midget porn on that thing Frank you want me to send you my old phone probably still some good footage on it

meh... just puke...

when I run out of Gorilla tape and have to get a new phone, I'll be looking for another flipper but one that doesn't even take pictures. Lower the tech for me, please.

meanwhile, the rumblings have begun that will reestablish the fact that I am like a genius...

so many people have become concerned about their phone addictions (falling into man holes, walking into traffic, lost social skills) that sales of flippers have started to rise. Saw an article in the Boston Globe advising to buy used on line rather than phone stores to save money!

Good morning, y’all
