Good morning Wat and OM! Good day Berry and others across the big water!

It’s Friday and no taxi duty. I’m planning on a drive through the country for the very scenic tree colors nearing their peak.
Colors are getting there but not yet peak. And many trees were obviously damaged by our near drought conditions.
 
Well today was wet, very very wet. It got to the point where, by 2.30 the guns had enough and the day closed. Its was home for hot chocolate, cream and marshmallows…hot and sugary to help recovery.

A little about the boys with a couple of photos. In one you can see two things, how they stay calm for the 45 minutes a drive takes and just spectate. I stand about 25 yards away where I can watch them and the drive. Secondly looking at the winter colours you can see why I have yellows. Blacks would stand out in that environment.

The other photo is Sam out on the Merse yesterday when we were hoping for a shot at the geese. This is my favourite muddy ditch where I lie in wait. Sam sits behind the bank and kept his bum in the mud for the best part of a couple of hours. He is the apprentice and will,take over from Ben in a couple of years so this is as much training as it is wildfowling.

Enjoy Lili and MissK
My sweet babies..... such good boys..... so handsome and smart..... I love love love them
 
That's my usual weekend plan but tomorrow I have a 9am appointment all the way across town. So getting up even earlier than I normally do for work.

Fixin' for a glorious nap when I get back from that appointment tomorrow. 😁 :sleep: 🤞
I had planned on mine being tomorrow, but I have to help with something that might take several hours. I'm hoping it's in the morning, so I can sleep the afternoon away :D

Wow… amazing. Sorry the weather didn’t cooperate.

But you have trained really disciplined dogs. Thanks for sharing the photos!
 
You spend anytime around the Imjin?
Now I get the reference. Was never stationed in Korea tho.

But I heard those katusas were absolute
Machines. People said they followed orders to a t, super disciplined and great soldiers.

(Katusas are South Korean soldiers who served with us units. They always had a great reputation as great soldiers)

So i cut out of work a bit early. I had to wrestle social security for my mom.

First time I was there, the lady was completely unhelpful, not nice, and downright nasty. The more I stood up for myself, the worse it got.

I filed a complaint. That lady works for US!

(And on top of which, the paperwork they sent to the nursing home WAS ALL WRONG!)

So today I was fearing the worst.

But the experience was exactly the opposite. This lady was super nice, helpful and empathetic. (And she had a lovely trip to Greece in case you care…)!

All the right paperwork is in the works.

Now we just haveta get Medicaid to do their thing.
