Crazy Ladies! and I was in the middle of upgrading my Mac from a 10.6.8 operating system to a "whatever" when these two crazy babes showed up!

This is Blair sitting @ my bar reading a Novel...

This is Blair's Mom about to jump into the fish tank Posing as a Lobster!

Hey!!! It's Halloween Week!

They do crack me up!

My first view of a smiling Brynn!

I learned, from living here with Keelan & Blair that it takes a little while 'til the Smile!

Meanwhile, Keelan & Blair have moved out & I miss them

15 years ago today that Dad passed...

An infamous quote from his death bed..." I wish I could leave my brain with you guys, God knows you could use it".

He was a tough good man & Father

And now I look like him...

and of course, I was always his favorite

Oh Man! Please, no more dogs...especially Junk Yard Dogs!

Anna started it with a dog post & Timmy asked Anna, what breed?

Timmy has a new Shop in an Industrial area

Keelan/Blair were visiting & I sorta heard talk of a "shop dog"?

They tell me it will be a small dog that will hang around The Shop, Blair can play with it & it can chase a Frisbee in the vast parking area!

I said, "sorta like a Junk Yard Dog?"

Timmy asked me if I would like another cup of coffee.

I shut up

I have lost my ability to view or post videos & I am not a Happy Camper...

I saw this one coming. For at least the past 3 months there have been videos I have not been able to view. So I first went to my Apple software updates to see if I missed something. Nope, I am up to date there.

I then went to Adobe and sure enough they tell me I need to update. They show me a "click here to update" box & I click.

Three steps required to update:

1. I click step one & the blue streak streaks forward
2. I click step 2 & they ask me to accept their "Terms & Conditions" I click on the OK sign
3. Step 3 is a window that shows me something else I can purchase, like a photoshop thing. I am not interested, but there is no "decline" button or Escape button from this page!

I go directly to Adobe & get the same run-a-round. What do I do?

Oh wait! The above Link explains everything... so nevermind...!  (sarcasm light off) wtf!@#$%??!!?

but thanks Larry...???

ALERT! Oldest Grandchild 11 plus minute sports video...!

Justin is #2 on the orange shirt team. He usually shows up as a right defensive end on defense, left offensive tackle or the tailback on offense...oh yea, and also a kick returner.

It's all about Leverage & Angles!!!

McKendry offspring in just the last 16 months...Blair is The Boss of "The 16 Monthers'"!!

this is Big Girl Blair & Little Rory...Blair is 16 months old.

Today, Rory is about 10 months old. Rory's Mom does not post updated photos.

this is Blair & her Mom. They are both Crazy!

they communicate w/each other, Dance w/each other, argue w/each other & no-one else understands what they are saying. 

this is Seamus Hamilton & his Dad. Seamus is today about 3 or 4 months old?

and this is Brynn Katherine. She is one month old...and my 2nd Grandaughter...

I learned today that Brynn is in the 98th percential...whatever that means...

What does Pea do all day?

He gathers free stuff from the Library, goes to Aldi's (you should try Aldi's...u would Love it) and he reads stuff...

This one made me Smile

this one is a Nasty one & will be a Movie starring Leonardo & Jamie...a D'jango unchained kinda thing.

This one I got thru not even Half of. Gorgeous scenery, but who wants to watch a young Stud cut his own arm off?

This one I am in the midst of... following the Exploits of Alex, Robin, Milo & Petra...

So, since Saturday I have read 2 and a half books. Watched "part" of a James Franco movie, raked leaves and watched Homeland & Boardwalk Empire!

Sorry, but I have no photos of me raking leaves. Maybe tomorrow.

If it's not another bizzy day...

A Final Salute to Bailey

Now buried on Aarons

 Grandpops Farm

just a Grandpops observation from afar, but...

about 6 weeks later, in the same shirt, Justin appears to have grown a bit...

Is it true that the eyes we are born with do not grow?

A Beck Family photo mentions a "Tower of Terror". I was curious as to what that means. So...I looked it up!

I find out it is about a scary ride on an elevator at an Amusement Park.

Sorta like the scary rides at Willow Grove Park that only Me & Michael dared to ride when they had the "Free for Catholic School Kids Day" one Sunday in September, 1956...

We could go on any ride we wanted to! Michael & Geraldpea got to know the "starter" of "The Thunderbolt"! I think we rode it 147 times that day! Oh yea...after that year Willow Grove Park did not invite the Catholic School kids back unless they paid full admission. And that was only Fair. Apparently, the guy that held the Event was elected a State Senator two months later...based on the great turnout of the Catholics...

And here is The Tower of Terror! 

and The Thunderbolt!

I am now accepting Donations to Finance my trip to the "Dirt Fish Rally School" in the state of Washington so I can take photos of Christopher & then drive to Alaska, which is on my Bucket List!

Every Parent has an obligation to Teach their kid to drive a stick shift!

Just imagine if your Kid is in a Life or Death situation & the only get-a-way is a car with a stick shift!

Can your kid drive a stick shift?

Mine can...

Can these "kids" drive a stick shift?

Obviously this one can handle Gear changes...

• Can the Dornisch kids go from first, to second gear to third Gear?
• Can Nicole shift gears?
• Can Kate, Karen or Sara switch gears on the Fly?
• Timmy tells me 6 of his 7 Kids can do the stickshift thing. Guess which one can not?
• We all have seen that Christopher can switch gears, but is Anna equally adept?

The Hot Tub & wooden deck have disappeared from the Steinhart Ave back yard

Amanda is doing cartwheels she is so Happy!

...but where is the Weber Grill?

People Are Strange

Dogs are the Best!

Thank you, thank you all! What an Honor...thank you...I am humbled...

Buy a Shotgun... AR-15's are too difficult to handle...

Who is Joe Biden? and these people can vote...

Name a harder thing to do in Professional Sports than hitting a baseball!

Think about it. If you get a hit 30% of the time, you make more than $10million a year. 

Or, if you go to bat 600 times per year & hit 30 Home Runs you make $10million plus!

If you are a quarterback & complete 30% of your passes...you are no longer a Quarterback in the NFL.

If you play basketball & make 30% of your shots, you better be a good defender.

Soccer shots I am not familiar with the Stats...

1814 Battle...

Photos submitted to The Blog for the October Photo of the Month Award ! And the Nominees are...

This is Keelan Hamilton, a Maura look-a-like. I wish I had her on Audio. She has a lot to say, and a great photo!

This is my new Grand-daughter Brynn. Adorable, but only 20 days old. She is in the running for Fall Photo of the Month in 2015. (brynn's mother loves the fall)

But the October photo of the Month goes to my Niece Anna!

ADORABLE!

Can you do this?

That's Nora White, climbing a door jam!

Monthly Contortions...

People like me on a Fixed Income go through contortions on a Monthly basis to try to save money so they can afford to buy more Salem's and Nikolai. This is why I spent 27 minutes in a State Farm office today to save $27.00 a month on my car insurance.

State Farm will be $68.00 per month. They also lowered my deductible from $500 to $250.

GEICO

The company I was with since 1999 was charging me $95.00 per month. Maybe that's becuse I've had two claims with them in the last 3 years:

1) was for $1590.00 when one of the branches in a tree on Blossom Hill fell on my car when I was not even here.

2) was for $3399.00 when I drove over a strawberry red guitar @ 2AM that had been left on the ground on the Exit Ramp from MaGurks!

by the way, GEICO's web site states that that claim is still open! Are you kidding me!@#!!

Anyway...I did spend 27 minutes today with Karen the State Farm Agent & saved 

$324.00 in my yearly car insurance premiums!

Brynn is now more than 15 days old and I want to see her again...

So I'm inviting myself! I'll just show up, watch Brynn interact with her Parents & spend the night in the Blue Room!

Then... Courtney, me and Brynn will go for a walk in the Park...

while Daddy goes to Work.

 the 3 other grand parents got their photos taken with Brynn

but not Me!

Looks to me like you have had your picture taken with Brynn!

so small... so cute...
