In today’s episode of “I didn’t know we had that!” We purge stuff we don’t need or now longer use every June, donate or give it away We found a these die cast Christmas figurines from the early 1900’s. Her Great Grandmother bought them for HER kids We thought we had given it to wife’s brother

It’s oddly foggy this morning We have some overly mature landscaping which we refreshed New hydrangea and dwarf magnolia The magnolia will be trained into a canopy over the hydrangea, which will take some years Really happy to see the hydrangea thriving with lots of blooms

#Dog Boone sheds quite a bit, so we have to do the floor daily OR Is he shedding so we will do the floor for him?

Someone updated the Wikipedia page for George Zoley, the President and founder of #GeoCorp, the company which runs #DelaneyHall, the “detention” center in the news lately. While this is a good start, there is so much more which can be done It is a publicly traded company.

Patient today wrote in their history "Allegic to animals and dust. I will still pet every animal I see, rashes and itchy eyes be damned." We get you.

Cleaning out an old instrument cabinet, found this box 20+ years ago, I invented an instrument - abet for an implant which is no longer made, by a company that no longer exists I just keep the box as I love the name and what we called it - the WIPPiT

Saw a mother as a patient today, brought her child with her. The child was screaming, and crying the entire time, clearly frustrating the mother. When the exam was over and mom got up to leave, the kid smiled, waved and said "Bye-bye" OK, cute .... or just passive aggressive?

We lived through having to clean out both our parents homes I have been informed we will not be doing this to our daughter, so I need to clean up the garage That includes the “parts bins” I have two of these which hold every spare screw or nail to ever come in the house Yes, it’s a dad thing

While Boone is currently “on restricted duty” - wearing a cone and on Trazadone, he’s not very active He he is from a few months ago We got a mat for the floor under his bowls He was initially a bit suspicious

Someone is not happy this morning We did the thing with Boone as he is now a year old - happy birthday He’s a bit out of it and confused

One of the staff shared what the patient wrote in their history, saying "Look, they wrote they wear bay-focals, yes BAY-focals" Me: "Perhaps he is a fisherman" This is why the staff love me - Dad jokes on the fly all day long.

Silver Alert: He looks lost Like he should have a little wrist band telling people who to call if they find him or a little fob with a button he can push to bring the nice men with the van to pick him up

We've had some nice weather of late, so people head out to the mountains and the beach. Not only do we have issues with the directs sunlight, but reflected light from water and snow We've seen a new case of solar retinopathy both this week and last week Please wear sunglasses which block UV light

Ugggh! I have yet to learn my lesson Next Friday the 13th, I will close the office We seem to be the only office that can see trauma or emergency eye cases today At least it's not a full moon as well

It’s a whetstone weekend The knives are out

Someone woke up realizing it was dinner time

I was just thinking this morning about how incredibly stupid this man is … “The sound of windmills cause cancer” is my all time favorite But here the guy just can’t help sticking his hand back into the woodchipper

We did a 45 minute walkie We did some training It’s been a big day Lights out in the middle of the room

Who wears jeans to workout? It’s a miserably uncomfortable Have you ever gotten soaked while wearing jeans? It’s miserable and they’re a pain to take off - not to mention the chafing I’m starting to think he might be hiding something wrong with his legs

Boone, despite being an “only child” is being selfish with his toys He is not playing fetch while keeping another toy in his mouth

The staff have begun showing me post on TikTok from an account which appears to be two cartoonish aliens telling Dad Jokes Do you think they are trying to tell me something? The jokes are pretty good, BTW

I had become distracted from posting photos of - My photography - My pup Boone I see it as a good thing when my social media time takes a backseat to real life So here I am also breaking a rule and letting Boone have some morning quiet time with me on the couch - or he’s letting me …

Washington, like 4 other states (CO, HI, OR UT) is a mail ONLY ballot state - and has been so since 2011. Before that, all but one county has done mail only since 2005. Between 2004 and 2010 in Washington, there were SEVEN documented cases of vote-by-mail fraud. The concerns here are non-existent

I had an 84 year old patient the other day I asked how she was doing She replied F*%K ME: OK, short and to the point, and I get it.

Was looking for a set of small screwdrivers … forgot I had this kit Just reminding myself I am that many years old

Boone down for an afternoon nap Later, he will get up and sleep on the floor next to the bed 💁🏻‍♂️

This is four eggs All double yokes Don’t know if this is a good omen or bad

The Marsh Family with their usual great response has a nice little song about #RFKjr #antivax #vaccines #MedSky

This is worth sharing

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️ youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM

Photography post Roosevelt Elk on the coastal dunes in Gearhart, Oregon #photography #Oregon #Rooseveltelk The kids had a hoot as all I had was a 85 - 150mm zoom with me when we saw these magnificent animals on our drive, so I did a very slow crawl for about 30 minutes to get a good shot

After struggling with a task due to everyone being fatigued, one of our staff supported the other with the saying: There is no "I" in Team I reminded them there is an "I" in Diet Coke and there is some here if they need one While I got a groan for the Dad Joke, someone came and took a Diet Coke

Today I commented my dad jokes we really landing One of my MAs remarked "You mean Granddad jokes?" That seemed intentional to me ... but I landed the next one: "If you're not careful, I'm gonna use up all the Social Security before you get any"

I'm not sure why today but I posted my usual daily photography post early in the morning, very calming Since then, I have been a spicy old man with a handful roman candle in each hand

I haven’t read this since college, but revisiting it seemed appropriate in these times I have two hours of commuting daily, so an audio book works for me I love libraries so I also get my audio books from my local library

Daily photography Northhead Lighthouse as seen over the meadow surrounding it on the coast of Washington at Ilwaco #Photography #Northhead #lighthouse #Washington

My least favorite patient today: I like the guy generally but as we left the room he asked how I was doing, so I told him "Great!" He followed up with "Yeah, us older folk need to stick together" Dude is 77 YO ... I'm not, but now I feel as if I might be

Inspired by the posts of @bar44.bsky.social, I've realized I had slacked off (imagine that) on posting my photography. On the beach South of Warrenton, OR Brown Pelicans #photography #oregon

Date night tonight Great view of the Puget Sound Unfortunately, due to the weather, no view of the Cascades
