Dave's Killer Bread ~ Sunday Football ~ Barn ~ Tucker's Birthday ~ 10-30 Dude



Good 46ยบ clear morning.
Breakfast yesterday was one of Dave's Killer Bread Million Dollar Buns:

OMG, his bread is soooooooooooooo good. Check the link for where to buy in Oregon and California.  Anyway, made a sandwich out of the leftover meatloaf and veggies. OMGOOOD!

Today is Football Sunday. Here are the times and lineups...


Jorge and crew (2 helpers) showed up about 8:30 to work on the barn. Using brushes to get off any loose paint the pressure washing missed 

and then to start painting on the undercoat.


Jorge:

Dude wanted to stay outside and watch! (Yeah, right.)

Done until next weekend. They will be back to put on another coat of paint and finish the trim.
Friday afternoon I met up with Brian and family at their house to take Tucker's birthday gifts to him. His birthday is today but they left early Saturday am to head to Eugene to the Ducks/Georgia football game at 11. All the balloons were ready! BTW the Ducks beat Georgia 61-28 !! 



What a game! AND... on the big screen in the stadium they had Tucker and Sami on it! Jen got a picture. I can't wait to see it.

Then after the game they spent the night in Portland and a visit to the zoo today.
Tucker is 11 years old. I got him a gift card to the Grants Pass bicycle shop so he can pick out a new bike.

Also a framed picture of one of his fav Duck's player, Marcus Mariota. 
(He was Ducks first Hiseman Trophy winner and is now with the Tennessee Titans.) http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205238133
He's ranked up there with Manning and Brady! Amazing young man.

Me and my boy!!! ♥
Today is also a special birthday, Steve Voors (LASD ret). HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!! Hope it's GREAT! (With his bride, Barbara, a few years ago!) 

Steven Scott Voors... aka "10-30 Dude"! Steve and Jerry were radio car partners and good friends. Jerry nicknamed him '10-30 Dude' because 10-30 is a radio code for "does not conform to regulations" ! LOL. Here at Jerry's retirement in 1998:

Steve and Tucker share the same middle name... which makes Steve .. SSV .. and Tucker is TSP... teaspoon!
And... today is Dee and Dale's lab, Sami's 7th birthday. Happy Birthday Sami!

Blood Test ~ Grants Pass to Rogue River ~ Bill Postmus


Good 43ยบ clear morning. Yesterday by 4pm we hit 84ยบ. Should be warmer today.                   
 
Yesterday morning I had to take a fasting blood test. For those of you who have done this, you understand, for the rest of you..... So, you can't have anything to eat or drink except water from midnight on until your test. I am used to my hot green tea and lemon first thing when I get up, then coffee and breakfast. Dang! Even fixing Brusier and Dude's food yesterday morning was making me hungry! Headed to Three Rivers Hosp about 9am

In the waiting area talked to a lady who had originally moved here from Downey. We had a nice chat!

Then it was my turn. Whew. That over I crossed the lobby to the "coffee lady" and got a 12oz. Kahlua latte to go...

and headed to my car where I had a couple
 bars. Gobble gobble. Then the back road, Hwy 99, to Rogue River... it's such a lovely drive along the river...

Then across the RR bridge.. and into town...


A stop at the vet's office for special teeth cleaning dog food for Dude and some special treats for Bruiser.

The the post office to mail cards and then Ray's Market...

Ray's is having an awesome sale, now through Tuesday. I got a big tray of boneless skinless chicken thighs .. 2 for 1. They run about $12-14 per tray. I got 4!! May clean out freezer and go back for more!

Then the drive to my house isn't so shabby either....

Saw Dude's Dad Dave in the parking lot of the store.. he was delivering his UPS. I was telling him what 918 meant and the "insane" people having their birthdays yesterday, then I found out when Dave's birthday is! (Christmas!!!!)  .. Talked to a gentleman in front of the PO with his Bulldog Mona. So sweet. I had my "All I want to do is drink wine and pet my dog" sweatshirt on, so talked to several folks with their dogs... they all liked my shirt!
 
Another LASD ret special birthday today, Bill Postmus. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!! I hope you have a GREAT day!

International Talk Like A Pirate Day
(Here you go, Deewayne Honneee!)

 
Ahoy, Matey!  Today is a day just for fun, a day to let out the pirate in each of us. We like "just for fun" days and we know you do, too.
 
Practice up your "pirate-speak" in anticipation of this day. The conversation will be lively, and you don't want to be left behind. Today, everyone will be talking the talk, if not walking the walk. It is not a requirement to dress like a pirate today. Just talk like one. 
 

Are you a Pirate at heart, or in your soul? Take the Pirate Personality Test
