This is a photo of my dog Penny, the day after her surgery. She had an enlarged and cancerous spleen. There was no guarantee if the cancer had spread. She wasn’t eating. The options were to have her put down, or try for a surgery where a good outcome with slim. We knew there was no choice but to go for the surgery. We were told the risks since she is almost 14 years in age and signed the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) if something went wrong during surgery. We got a call that afternoon that it was a success, the spleen looked ready to rupture and was removed and…

Decided it was time to step up my fitness game and get outside and do some trail running. I’ve been eating well, but my weight loss has stalled and been stagnant for a month or two now. I’m going to try and keep better track of my caloric intake but also add in some light cardio to go with my current weight lifting routine. Regretfully it has been getting darker earlier and earlier. Might need to start bringing a head lamp? Or maybe run early in the morning? Yeah, probably not that. I’m not exactly a morning person. Clocks change soon… Will make some decisions then.

Well the 2020 lake season is officially over. Fall is barreling upon us. It’s time to wax your skis and get those snow shoes ready. Need to make sure my iceboat is ready to run this year. But before we put away the swim suits, we hit the lake on the last 80+ degree weather day! So despite everything that 2020 brought us, we made the best of it. Got our diets on track, worked out a lot and enjoyed the outdoors. Took out our boat more often then we would ever dream and enjoyed our time at the lake. Didn’t do as much fishing as I would have liked,…

The garden had more tomatoes than anyone knew what to do with this year. We wanted to make some sauce and salsa and preserve it (canning) so we could enjoy it through out the year. First off… This recipe is SIMPLY AMAZING! Not selling anything on this blog. Just handing out tried and true recipe that you’ll enjoy. Getting right to the recipe and not me jabbering, here is a double batch we made ( cut in half or less if you wish ). BEST HOMEMADE SALSA INGREDIENTS 20 Cups of peeled and chopped tomatoes. (The finer the tomatoes are chopped the more “picante” your salsa will become) 6 Cups…

As the cooler weather descends upon us, the time at the lake is dwindling down to a halt. I would love to get a few more good outings this fall with fishing and just enjoying being on the water as opposed go going in. Of course there was a great end of the season sale on the Yamaha RS300 – so I snagged one and it just showed up yesterday. I mean… How cool does that look? Good for 100 feet and 3 mph. I haven’t actually used it yet so don’t rush out and buy one just yet, but figured worst case it would be something fun for the…
