“It’s not ninja-go, grampa. It’s nin-jah-go. Say it.”
Ninjago. Is that right?
“Nooo, you’re saying it wrong. Nin Jah Go.”
Ohhhh….Ninjago
(sigh)”Can we build this one?”
Yes

Adventures in DogSitting/Day 12/FINAL
We put blankets on the couch to protect the leather from claws. Apparently, the level of Canine Ass Kissing around here made him think they were FOR him.
He’s going home tonight. He has been a Good Boy/eaten well/followed me everywhere.

The pasta is boiling in the pot. It is only there as a base, though. The meatballs/sausage/sauce are the main event.
Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I send the best of wishes to you.

Adventures in Dog Sitting / Day whatever
His name is being changed to Velcro. He is my shadow. Can’t do anything in the house without him.
I just want to use the bathroom alone. Without an audience or persistent door scratching/whining.
Yeah, we’re buddies, but geez…

Whining at 4am.
I lift the comforter on bed and say “go”.
He submarines as far as he can go.
Fully covered.
Drops like a rock until I threw him out at 630am.
He’s a PITA but still a big lump of affection.

Adventures in Dog Sitting / Day 4
I’m sitting on one of the barstools at the kitchen counter. In a flash, I’ve got a seatmate next to me that’s snuffling around looking for signs of any crumbs of whatever.
Not even a courtesy “is this seat taken?”

He’s Copper the grandpup. He loves attention, going for walks and marking everything. Gives off ‘starvation’ vibes, but only by the bag containing dog treats. Snores. Farts. Makes himself at home. Doesn’t respect your personal space.

Grandson & I assembled the McLaren F1 LM on Sunday during football. We had fun on the kitchen floor with it.
I had the bigger brain to decode some of the instructions.
He had the tiny fingers to do some of the intricate work.
Then we played with the freeform blocks for a while.

The Grandson was over Monday evening. He asked if we could do one of the car builds and chose the white one.
He is much more active in the build and understands most of the instructions.
There are some odd angles in here that they made work.

She likes to go “thrifting”. My M.O. is to browse the books/sit/read.
There’s more to Frank than funny lyrics and stellar music compositions. It was put out 30+ years ago and mostly still holds true.
The note fell out when I got to around page 50. I grinned and said “sure…”

Who makes a Grilled Cheese to the right level of done-ness that I want it?
Me. That’s it.
It was going to be a grilled cheese with bacon, but someone other than me in a household of two ate the leftover bacon.

He has the pillow
He has a soft fuzzy blanket
And the remote
And a table full of Lego handy
Maybe some lunch when he’s hungry
Not a bad setup at Nani’s house for the afternoon.

We built an X-Wing Fighter.
“Where’s the engine?”
“What does this do?”
“Why do the wings do that?
(cue up the final battle scene from A New Hope on my phone and hit ‘play’)
“Can we watch Blippi on your phone?”
Maybe when he’s a little oder.

Out of curiosity, i clicked to read the TL:DR version of my 9-part Spout about OTM.
I approve.
I have no idea how the AI works for it, but @cbouzy does so I don’t necessarily have to understand it all.

Jim Flanigan @DOAJimYesterday would have been Dad’s 87th birthday.
Along with practically everyone else that knew him, I miss him.
The ‘pull my finger’ gag
Arguing over who got the check
Baseball discussions
Seeing him smile when family was together
His embellishment of stories, even if it bore no basis in truth12:25 PM - Nov 12, 2023![Picture of me and Dad in Winslow AZ in 2013]()
