I get up about 5:00 or 5:30. Penny may get up when I do or she may stay in bed a while longer. When she does get up the first thing she wants to do is go out and take care of business. After coming back in she gets on her pillow that is on the couch in the living room and goes back to sleep while I'm at the dinning table catching up on Ugly Hedgehog. Being a small dog (18 pounds) she is finicky about when and what she eats.On the other hand, suppose he wants to go out to pee? The alternative is to pee in the bed.
By the way, my avatar is Penny.

Where can you buy a non-Smart TV other than at the Goodwill, Salvation Army or a yard sale?

I never was a fan of crooners like Tony Bennet, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. I did like Nat's performance with Stubby Kaye in Cat Ballou, however.

In my case even if you are giving beer away, please go away (and take your beer with you).

I had to replace the motherboard on an HP computer years ago. I was lucky enough to find an exact replacement for it on eBay for about $75. I took a number of photos while removing the old MB so I could get the new one in place. After getting the board out and new one installed and all the wires connected I was surprised that the computer fired up and worked fine.

Looks like the price went up by ten bucks. Oh, well, guess I missed out.

I recently rewatched the "I, Claudius" series on Acorn. Sorry to say, Jerry, but you just dropped ten points in my opinion of you. Sorry.I remember the first Claudius series years ago with Derek Jacobi. No interest in that!
I also watch the "Murdock Mysteries" on Acorn. When I finish Murdock I will probably drop Acorn. Getting rid of some of my subscription services.

I use Acorn to watch the "Murdoch Mysteries" series. Recently I rewatched the "I, Claudius" program that PBS ran back in the '70s.

And we're doing what we can to keep it that way. Why should Nevada be the dumping ground for the nuclear waste generated by the other states that produce the waste. Nevada doesn't produce any nuke waste.The National Nuclear waste repository under Yucca mountain was still being held up by politics last I looked. DOE uses an underground repository in Carlsbad New Mexico.

These two links require a subscription to their website. To be accurate, however, I could read the first two paragraphs of the WSJ article.https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-weapons-industry-unprepared-for-a-china-conflict-report-says-11674479916

There is one photo that the news programs like to show of a building in the Tahoe area that collapsed because of the snow.I hope their roofs are built for the load.
I have been living in this area since 2005. After shoveling snow every year I finally bought a snow blowing machine three years ago. Of course, since I had the machine we got little snow and I was only able to use the machine once each season. It's a different story this year. That machine has gotten more of a workout this year than the three previous years combined.
