Friday, took the day off, slept in, piddled about in the morning then got ready to head to Raleigh. Drive wasn't the best part of the trip, it was very Friday afternoonish out there on the roads. Got to Raleigh, checked in the hotel, downtown for birria tacos, then over to the Lincoln Theater for the 9th Annual American Aquarium Roadtriup to Raleigh show. It's actually a three-night stand, but we chose Friday because Joonyer is a big Gabe Lee fan and he was the opener. Next was Muscadine Bloodline with a great LOUD rocking set. American Aquarium closed it out with a two-hour set...excellent as usual. Props to the Lincoln, I was impressed with the bar setup and how fast they got drinks out and money in. A lot of venues could learn something from them.

Saturday, slept in after getting to bed so late. Up and off to Morrisville to hit Fount Kitchen & Coffee for breakfast. It's completely gluten-free, the Mrs. wanted that for breakfast because traveling can be a pain for someone who is celiac. The food was excellent to boot. Got back to Joonyer's house in York, and he took me for a spin in his new toy. He bought a used Porsche as a toy and it's a blast. Still had time to kill before I could pick up the dog from boarding at 5 so rode over to Walmart and scooped up a Hyper Tough brand cordless blower for $40 on clearance. I'll test it this week to see if I want to keep it, but I don't need very much in a blower so it should be OK. Back home for supper and to lay around in the big chair until bed.

Sunday, tried to sleep in but the animals would not allow it. Got up and drank coffee, read news, and took the pup for a hike over to the park where Mrs. was working. Back home for a few chores, a grocery run, another late afternoon hike with the pup, supper, and another night of posting up in the Big Chair doing nothing but flipping channels.

19/19 Covids because American Aquarium always makes for a great weekend. Wasn't even aware of Clemson basketball until long after it was over so no points were deducted on that account. I'll just sit back and wait to see if we can get into the NIT or not.

Fri.: the family got back from a week long trip to Disney World. Our dog sitter mentioned that our dog had been acting "disoriented." However, she seemed fine upon pickup. I was trying to squeeze in a hunting trip and left late Friday to meet up with the guys. On the drive down, a dog jumped in front of my car. It came out of nowhere and was so close to my front bumper that I couldn't even start to brake. I felt awful and was in shock. I was in the middle of no where, it was pitch dark, there are no houses around where the dog may have come from, and there was no shoulder to safely park on that stretch of highway. Just an awful, awful occurrence. It also screwed up my front bumper which was newly installed about three weeks ago. F-

Sat.: Morning quail hunt was fun despite the birds not flying well. I then got a call from Wifeof that our dog is in pain, won't eat, and is incontinent. Wifeof was distraught and taking dog to vet. The vet couldn't tell what exactly was wrong. It may be liver failure. It may be cancer. They sent her home with pain meds and scheduled follow up for Monday. My Hunting trip was cut short and I came home. F.

Sun.: Our Dog seemed to not be in pain but was having trouble getting up from her bed or walking. Bonus, extra suck: the three year old wakes up with a high fever and it was cold and raining heavily. We were stuck inside with a sick kid, a dying dog, and a baby that is teething. Instead of the steaks I had planned to cook, we went with rotisserie chicken from Publix. F.

Our pup is at the vet now for further testing. We are hoping for good news but it seems extremely unlikely.
