Yahoo!!!!

Yahoo!  No, I don't mean Yahoo on the internet---just YAHOO, it's great to wake up and be alive!!  I went out to feed the five dog's in the backyard this morning.  My one dog, Regalo (my fathers day gift 4 or 5 years ago) thinks he is King of the pack.  Sometimes when he does not feel like eating, he will "root" up the ground with his nose trying to push dirt up over the food to save it for a later time when he is hungry.  I think all similar animals do that.  I remember when I was a teenager--I and my two brothers were hiking on a mountain close to Young, AZ.  We came across some sheep remains that were half buried in the ground.  We could hear a lion scream from somewhere way off in the distance.  The lion had eaten what he wanted and attempted to bury the rest for later.  We had heard that some sheep had been lost in the area before we went hiking.  Needless to say, we did not tarry long in that vicinity.  We did not have any weapons with us.  I was probably about 12 or 13.  I walked and ran a lot when I was young.  That is probably why I have stayed fairly healthy throughout the years.  Then again---I have never smoked cigarettes.  Both of my brothers were smokers and I attribute smoking as the main cause of my younger brother Richard's death a few weeks ago.

I have acquired a couple of used dishwashers that may be in usable condition but I don't know if I could make any money on them so I probably will just take them apart and sell what I can to recycling.  I also have a used kitchen range that I picked up as a freebie that I also believe is in working order but probably will do the same with it.

I had a near new kitchen range when I left my home in Miami, AZ a few years ago.  The last time that I was up there a little over a month ago, it was still there but someone had taken two of the entrance doors off of the downstairs apartment so I don't know now if anything is left there.  You cannot see into the area from the street because of an out side board fence on the property but it is easy to get around the fence and go in.

You win some and you lose some....that's life!  Hasta la vista.......gino (the can man)

  1. Glad to hear you've kept yourself in good health, but I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. My thoughts are with you and your family.
