bigger and better

The Rip continues to gain mass. From an original mass of 48 pounds to 53 pounds in November and now to the impressive mass of 57 pounds!

The day we brought her home I took a look at her and said, she's a 60 pounder if I ever saw one and was promptly told she couldn't carry that much weight without getting fat. Now sitting at a trim and muscular weight of 57 pounds I can see her easily putting on another 5 pounds. She's a little slower right now after sitting around the house all winter but once spring officially hits and she decides to spend some time outside running around like a maniac, the athleticism should return and the Rip will reign supreme,




I've been on an Albert King run recently and as soon as I heard this song, the ghost of Ruby returned. I really miss that big old lunatic.



God Bless you, Ms Ruby.

    Rip could pull you around on your bike, I trained a dog to pull me along on my bike, after she learned not to head into the ditch, go around a pole, etc..

    Rip's a predator. She'd take off after the first rodent, cat or decorator dog that crossed our path. And she wouldn't want to stop for me to pick up empty beer cans.

    The Rip won't sit still long enough to get a good picture and i'm getting too old to chase her around trying to get that perfect shot.

    March? Christmas?

    You really are stuck in a linear prison Mr Thims. The key to escaping the constraints of time lies in mathematics, not physics. When I shared a room with Mr Pilgrim at the institution he showed me how to escape the ravages of time in exchange for me showing him how to drive the fire truck and aim the hose in a strong wind.

    While checking out old links I noted that we go back to at least 2007, and maybe well past that. How does it feel to get old on the internut?

    I've been online since 1984...

    I've enjoyed a few moments, but the river keeps moving on.

    king - 1987! holy shit, how time flies. I'd like to thank you for chasing off all the sensitive namby pamby sensitive nitwits that I had to play nice with.

    Dora - me and the rip thank you for the kind words. the missus has told me that Rip is getting fat but in my eyes she's just filling out.

    thims - i think the king said something profound about a river recently but for the life of me, i can't remember. but not to worry, the king will soon come with something else that's more profound.
