Have to take the Mrs to a Dr appt this afternoon. Of course it has to be in triple digits this afternoon. At least it won't be this way for an extended time.

Need to spray the girls with some Regalia that showed up yesterday, the baking soda spray I made had limited success.
I also need to cut my new piece of tubing for the Toy's radiator support and check to see if it clears the steering shaft.
Mornin.

So I decided to play this weekend's gigs! I don't think I can drive with the leg immobilizer (though I haven't actually tried), so I asked my sister if she'd be willing to drive me to today's gig at the lakefront, and also drive me to Milwaukee for tomorrow's very long gig. She said yes to both, after I told her I'd give her $200. I was going to offer more if necessary, but she jumped on that. It seems we're both looking forward to spending the hours together as we haven't had the chance to visit lately. My knee is doing well and getting stronger, I barely take NSAIDs and I'm getting the staples out tomorrow morning. I'm anxious to start the rehab and get out of the immobilizer and into a less cumbersome brace. I'll come back to report on how the gigs go,I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I lost my beloved green-cheeked conure in April after having her for 23 years so I was excited when a longtime friend and bird breeder called me today to say she had some just-weaned green-cheeked conures to sell, so I told her I'd come by and check them out, which I did and ended up choosing one which I'm bringing home tomorrow
congratulations.....pet birds can live a long time, as you know. A few years ago i had a neighbor that would let his full sized parrot sit outside on his front porch railing and talk to people that walked by. He told me he inherited it from his neighbor who passed away about 10 years before. He said the bird had out lived 2 previous owners and he was looking for a new home for the bird because the owner was old and starting to have health issues of his own. Those birds can live 50+ years..

I can't remember if I have ever had to fire someone. I've been managing on and off for 20+ years. I hope I never have to do it again. Super sad face emoji. I empathize way too much.

I've had to do it a few times, it's never easy. But this is when you earn you manager stripes. Sometimes it just has to be done,

My wife's Red-Lored Amazon parrot is ~35, she's had him for 30 years or so

Congratulations! I am very happy for you . There is nothing like the friendship, joy and affection of a beautiful loving bird. May it bring you many years of wonderful companionship.
