SkyzykS's Keep Hitting It Until It Works Again Log

How many do you have now? Three?

I had to chase Buttons down a couple of weeks ago while camping and did so with ease. It was actually pretty sad - she lost track of me and went running off into the dark in a blind panic in the rain. She’s pretty much entirely deaf now, so I had to get ahead and cut her off to get her attention.

She’s a good, good girl. Here she is, watching with interest as one of my sons tries (and fails) to get his recent rescue to sit for a treat. Buttons knows how, as is evident on her face.

5! The 2 original ones and 3 of their offspring. I personally prefer 2 max, but we got attached to the others too.

:smiling_face: Buttons showing off her skills. “Yoohoo! I’m right here! Sittin’ like a good doggy.”.

“And I already laid down, because that’s ALWAYS next! Two treats for me!”

Five is a lot! Yeah, a dog wouldn’t stand a chance against the Band of Five.

The good girl got tired.

But only for a second.

As discussed, she ran after a deer last night, pewwww-> off like a shot.

Then got trapped inside the electric fence (did touch it, once :hushed:) around the field out in the back yard.

And of course Super Dog!

Haven’t logged in quite some time.

Went on a hike today. Bit off a little more than I intended. Last hill to get back to the car-


Looking back toward the bottom. This is where I hit the wall.

The wall. :rofl:

There have been some ups & downs. Summer was brutal with the heat & stuff. Fall has been awesome though. That hike was my first time out for fall mushroom season. Bagged a few lbs. of Sulphur Shelf.

I didn’t plan on going very far, but actually ended up going pretty far. Should have brought water.

How have you been?

Oh nice njce. Your heart is good?

Just mostly tired. A lot of uncertainty ahead too. Not sure if I’ll get into Cardiology fellowship

Yeah, not bad. I wanted to take it out for a run to see how it went, and since I’m not still on that hill, I’m gonna say it went pretty good!

It was a test run of sorts. I’ve been feeling a lot better over all the last few weeks, so I wanted to push it a little to see what happens.

I imagine thats pretty difficult. A high bar above an already high bar.
I hope that works out well for you.

Hey man, I don’t visit as much ( mostly drop in unexpectedly during rare downtime to argue in the Ukraine thread or nitpick bizarre historical tangents) but I justed wanted to say that I’m glad you’re doing all right now.

Take good care of yourself.

Thank you!

And! I worked an 11 hr. day on Monday and went about my usual business on Tuesday! That hasn’t happened in ages. Aside from just not being able to do an 11 hr. day, if I even did like 8 or so I’d be wiped out for a couple of days.

How are you feeling?

In general, really good. I’ve had covid this week, but it’s my third round, so not too bad, mostly just low grade fever. I felt well enough with tylenol onboard to enjoy being a romcom-watching lump.

I’ve been falling off my workouts, but I think a week of TN browsing has probably helped with that. Hopefully!

I guess that is to be expected. I hope you recover well. :+1:

Thanks @EmilyQ ! Hope you feel better too!

Doing okay?

Edit: Oh, I see you’re having to take a week off. I’m sorry. @twojarslave is in that thread offering to beat @Andrewgen_Receptors up, so you’re not the only one getting a little reactive.

See you soon, hopefully.
