Pappy, you're one of a kind brother!
I don't often kiss my little dog Dasher. He's always trying to lick me though.
Haha. I know where that tongue has been. I gotta admit I kissed him atop the head one or more times.
Cheers!

I'm hogging this thread. You should probably skip this post, I'm a bit depressing recently.
I guess my brain recently remembered September was the month my pop passed away. It was 12 years ago. Some years the month goes by and I hardly think about it. Other years it's all I can think about. I guess this year is the latter
My dad was a very good man. He was a Chiropractor in a small Midwestern town, central Illinois. He grew up on a farm, he and his older brother became Chiropractors. They went to the original chiropractic college. Palmer, in davenport Iowa. It's where my brother graduated from as well as three cousins. I really should have followed in those footsteps but lacked the discipline for school
Some people look back on their childhood and don't have good memories. I couldn't be more opposite.
I left home at 19, joined the Navy. Once I'd joined I rarely saw my parents. A week or two leave every few years. It was pretty typical of military life. And I wasn't going to be in it forever.
Twelve years ago I was 38 and my dad was 66. I went home on emergency leave after a call from my older brother. He said, " Danny, you need to come home, Dad doesn't have much longer"
I went home. Dad was at the end of his days. He was in hospice at our house. A hospital bed was in the front room. A nurse stayed with him during the day and my brothers and sister took shifts after hours. When I got there I stayed with my dad after the nurse left for the day. My brothers and sis had been doing that.
The nurse gave us a notebook to write down notes about dad. When he ate, when his colostomy bag was changed. Stuff like that.
I ended up turning that notebook into a tribute to my dad. Words flowed and they were certainly stained with teardrops. Part of what I wrote was read aloud by my cousin at Dads funeral. I haven't seen that notebook since. I think my sister has it. I don't really know if I could read it again.
If you've made it through this post I'm sorry to be a downer. You have no reason to feel necessary to reply. I just like to write. It helps me deal with life

This can't be helping your transition.
Sorry I can't reply after the next quote, it's either the app or my phone.
Your dad died young.
I have a very poor memory for dates and such, and only remember my dad's funeral day being snowy. As such, he was buried later, when the ground thawed. Don't remember that date, either. He died at 89.
I do remember visiting my parents at home one day, stopping by on my way to work. I thought my dad needed a shave, and even knew that he was probably unable to do it himself. He didn't ask, of course, but rather than be late to work, I kept my offer to help to myself for another day.
Now I wish I'd have offered. But it doesn't trouble me overmuch. I feel that he knew, and it's good.
There's more to my dad's death story, and perhaps it will be relevant some other late night, whether you want to read about it or not.
Dan- Do not ever feel unentitled to live in (what I consider) tropical paradise. Life ebbs and flows, ride the waves! I'm in a state of what seems to be too good to be true, and only believing it's possible has made it so.
See what greatness you have and bask in it.

Man. My mind is weird. I was just sitting down and came up with a truly good riddle. The words flowed well. A great question I asked and answered while playing my (imaginary) fiddle
I woke up and forgot it all
No thank you brain
Why is it you stall ?

Wow. I seem to be the only poster recently. That's okay. Believe it or not this is self assigned therapy
Some of you might not be surprised to know, I'm a fan of Sir Conan Doyle's, Sherlock Holmes stories. I've read them all a few times. Watched many old SH movies. In my opinion, Jeremy Brett, portrayed the best Sherlock Homes. He passed away a few years back and I'm not sure why but his tv series seemed to vanish.
I'm on to a new detective show. It's called "Foyle's War".
The time period is WWII Great Britain played out in a quaint seaside village. It's a show that portrays life during war and and a personal account of Detective Chief Superintendent, Christopher Foyle. (Played by Michael Kitchen). Who still even with a war on has to be a Police Officer taking care of crimes in a war torn country. Hence, Foyle's War. I think the title is a play on words.
With confidence I'll say between DCS Foyle and Sherlock Holmes, I'm not sure which of them were the better Sleuth. I believe they are equals, quite possibly. Amazing detectives, riddle solvers.

Something else. I realize the above post is about imaginary figures.
Do you know? Sir Doyle eventually killed off Sherlock Holmes. I reckon he just got worn out coming up with the riddles and answers.
After a year or so of fans asking why? Holmes returned. Conan Doyle was an amazing story teller, author. So good at it really , his stories are remembered by the character more than than the author. Hmmm

Check out Foyle's War on Netflix. I think it surpasses even Sherlock Holmes. The British are awesomely amazing story tellers.

If ever the Sherlock Holmes show played by Jeremy Brett is released again. I'd be pretty happy. That actor was Sherlock Holmes!
If that doesn't happen. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories and your imagination will take you to London. 222 Bakers street. And the journey begins.

Sorry, there was a home depot mash paddle referred to in this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/gosh-darnit-i-missed-you-guys-489792/
I just bought the same paddle on amazon is what I was trying to say.

I have to amend my offer. I will send what I have. My dad is a fan of that version, and he gave me a couple DVDs, but apparently there are 13 DVDs in the complete series.
They are all available on amazon, if you have a spare $115.

I'll get them in the mail in the next week or so.
