On top of his diabetes he now seems to have liver/gall bladder/ bile duct issues. Yesterday we found out that the secondary heat exchanger on our furnace is corroding. The furnace is just old enough to make fixing it foolish. So, bye bye $14K. That's what a 97% efficient furnace and matching central air costs. YEESH! Now, today, the last day of summer also happens to be the first day of snow.

    Oh, well, except for Crackers problems, the rest doesn't matter.

    On to something more cheerful - SPACEWING! For Funky Friday.

    Very sorry to hear about your crummy week Henry. When it rains, it pours.

    Really hope that that you are able to get the health issues with Cracker sorted out quickly!!! As a dog lover, I know the pain you are going through all too well.
    Cheers,

    Chris

    I envisioned it on the mesh, but not so sure. I'll have to live with it for a while. It looks MUCH better on the mesh IRL though.

    Nice. I’ve sometimes looked at the black one in Kraków watch shops.

    So many cool Seiko 5s.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Great watch, no on mesh.

    Thanks Chris. The snow and the furnace really are nothing. Just irritating. The poor little old guy on the other hand, is another matter.
