What did you accomplish today?

I let the vet do it, normally only once their life is misery or in case of health problems.
Saddest was my one cat, he had this funny seizure and went lame in his back half. Apparently, it is caused by a blood clot and very common in male cats. Nothing you can do about it, and very painful as poison builds up in the blood, he was about 17 years old. Saddest drive I ever took.

Don’t forget abalone...we destroyed that population too. That was around the same area, maybe a little north closer to big sur

Yeah, that's my turf. Interestingly, still a moratorium on 2-3 species of abs for us, but there are 2 commercial ab farms between Morro and Cambria that raise all species and sell exclusively to Japan and a couple very high end clientele

Big Sur is a place connected to my family since the 70s. Super special.

Oh, don’t visit Big Sur, people. We don’t want you there. Thanks!

Seriously, just stay away.

We were discussing having the gangster bbq there this spring. Unfortunately unless you're a mountain goat you can't access it from the south. It appears mother nature is on your side.

Yes, Naciemento-Ferguson rd., or as you referred to it: "That Godforsaken, miserable Goat-Road", to which I think they should officially change the name

as well as the Lake Sturgeon in the Great Lakes

"In 1860, this species, taken on incidental catches of other fishes, was killed and dumped back in the lake, piled up on shore to dry and be burned, fed to pigs, or dug into the earth as fertilizer. It was even stacked like cordwood and used to fuel steamboats"

We have a similar thing with a local rock lobster, as a kid I would catch one every day to take home, sell to my parents and then eat it anyway.
Now there is 3% of the population left. they canceled the festival this past year.

Humans are schmucks

Supper time country style.

Ok I was to lazy to make cornbread.

Had to play dress up for New Years - apparently OG's aren't supposed to have long hair but I wasn't cutting it off to play the part.
Our DD was nice enough to Fishtail it for me.

I miss long hair, I don't even own a comb or a brush anymore, too few and too short hair to need anything more than a wipe with a wet hand.

I have enough hair on my face to make a wig I think.

haven't shaved in 7 years LOL

Yeah, my daughter has never seen me without a beard, she is almost going to school.

I have the kind of beard where it feels like people with inch thick beards are weekend warriors.

Testify

I have a sants claus beard with just a touch of grey!

when I was around 15 i was the one sent to the store to buy beer because I had a full beard growing, years before my friends had little patches growing on their upper lips.

I have been sick for three days.

Now my skin is very pale and cold to the touch.

Also, experiencing a lot of increased stiffness in my limbs and flesh.

I think I’ve gone zombie, folks.
