Heading to the pet store with my young friend. What are you doing on this windy Sunday?

Sounds pretty. It was cool (md-50s F) and windy as we cycled, but not cold.

It has started again.It is painful for all.

@Prdhan Which has started again?

What part of your back hurts? I do "Downward Dog" for my lower back and it works. I also just hang on my chinning bar, and that helps too. I used to be 6'4" and now I'm 5'8". Well, that's an exaggeration, but that's how it feels.

@JamesHxstatic I'm not sure where I got mine. But it's between my bedroom and my bathroom. Hanging is good.

@TheHorse I am doing some yoga stretches, yes. It is my lower back, almost surely muscle. I am still 5' 11" , I think. A chinning bar would be good, will have to find one nearby unless we get snow.

@TheHorse Peter Rabbit. It was very cute!

@ricki_911 Hmm. It it a kids' movie? Maybe I'll wind up seeing it.

What movie did you see? Any good?

That sounds like a good day.

Eh, I hope you have to go. Sounds like some good movements.

@TheHorse I did have to go. I guess I'll have to go next week too.

Oh, you've reminded me! I have to water my balcony veggies! What did you have for lunch? I had clam chowder.

@thislittlepennyearns In Summer we can grow just about anything. I grow corn, green beans and sunflowers. Tomatoes too. In Winter, we can do snow peas and other kinds of peas, as well as things that I don't know about.

@TheHorse What veggies do you have out there? I need to get more pots today and plant some other stuff. We had chicken strips, honey bbq chicken and fried okra

@TheHorse Bichon Frise.

A pet dog? What kind would you like?

@toniganzon What do they look like? I'll look around.

@TheHorse If the apartment was not in another country it would be easy. We spend 3 hours on the road to go back and forth every Sunday. I am very tired.

@LadyDuck Understandable. I hope the drive is at least pretty.

No! It can't be! Heh. Thanks. Decluttering your mom's apartment is a bittersweet, but somehow apt, way to spend a Sunday. I hope there were some good memories in there, along with a few tears.

How many inches did you get. If I stop by, can we build a snowman?

@TheHorse OH my you will have him going up chimneys next!

@garymarsh6 ...a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be...

We had a good time. Later, we came home and hunted dust bunnies. He likes to vacuum with me.

Which she? We got snow pea and corn seeds. I'll use them at the preschool and for my friend's and my gardening projects.

@KristenH Oh, he's a he. His mother has let him grow his hair long, and planted an earring in his left ear, but he's entirely into boy things, like cycling, digging in the dirt, fixing loudspeakers, and playing with cars. He knows the modern cars we see on the road better than I do. I help him learn the history of vintage American cars (his mom is from Croatia) like Cameros and Mustangs.

@TheHorse Your little friend.

Fishing ounds like therapy. What kind of fish do you catch? Do you get to eat them?

@andriaperry In corn meal? Or in other recipes? I haven't eaten fresh fish, right out of the river or lake, in many years.

@TheHorse Bass and Crappie. Yes, I clean them and cook them.

@Hannihar Did it listen? Turtles have their own language, of course.

Yes! I could tell they were interested in what I was saying (I talk parakeet), but I coudn't tell if they've been hand-raised. I think not.

@TheHorse The Horse, I had a friend in the States when we were growing up and she had a turtle and we talked turtle talk to it.

Massage sounds good! Who provided this luxury?

@TheHorse a nice suburb in my city Nairobi.

Did you do some inside stuff?

Well, so are we now! It's a Holiday, so I get to finish up my papers and maybe head off for another cycle.

@TheHorse yes sir, 2-stringers weighin' 'bout 80lbs. last time i'd 3-stringers i nearly killed myself!

Are they two-stringers? Three stringers are a bit much for my back at this age.

I did some of that today as well. But at the end of the day, I realized I'd: bought a gig bag for my bass, bought a new subwoofer for my stereo, played with my young friend for five hours, planted some corn and snow pea seeds, gone to Trader Joe's, and gone dust bunny hunting. I was a monster. Time to relax, turn on some music, and grade papers.

I hope you don't get washed away. Is the flash flood warning still in effect? My young friend and I hunted dist bunnies just now.

@TheHorse It was raining kind of hard with a few rumbles of thunder and a few strikes of lightning that lit up the skies. Just now for about a half hour the rain stopped, whew. No flash flood warnings came on tv, so guess we're okay. The outside atmosphere is so fresh and clear, though chilly air swishes with the breezes. I had to close my windows because it was getting a bit too cold. It seems the rains are just going to fill our water wells, luckily. As long as the breezes comes up the floods won't happen.

Sounds great! Dare I ask the ingredients of your vinegrette? I make a Dijon vinegrette that's pretty darned good!
