    I especially loved the emotions of the scene in which Vito calls on the Undertaker (I forgot the character name) to repay the debt and you are unsure what he is gonna ask and it's simply to do his job at his best for sonny's mother.

    hey, looking for advice from anyone with experience on ACL injuries in their dogs… vet says he has a torn ACL. he’s 10 years old, 30 lbs, super fit and very active until the injury. probably having it fixed but not doing anything is an option, especially at his age. of the surgery options from vet I think I would go with TTA, tibial tuberosity advancement or something. if your dog has had an ACL repair do you know what was done? and how did they function afterwards? or if they didn’t have surgery what did that look like after a year or so?

    I always worked hard to keep him fit and healthy and for the most part he’s been that way. turned 10 years old running circles around dogs a third his age. pretty concerned about what his remaining years are going to be like with the injury.

    The company I work for does this and has had great success.

    Definitely tougher with older dogs.

  4. So I am making the trek to Austin for Christmas to visit family and bringing Monroe. Are there any good dog friendly bars/restaurants you can recommend?

    We have a great Dog Bar in out area that Monroe loves going to but I have read mixed things about Yard Bar, but want to hear thoughts of the Surly dog family.

    Thanks

    Ha.  Yep....plus, it is actually based on a true story.  I have an embarrassing amount of knowledge on Canadian bands from the 80/90s.   Blue Rodeo, Skydiggers/L'Etreanger/Andrew Cash/Cash Brothers, Tom Cochrane, Grapes of Wrath, Tragically Hip.    

    I may have you beat there as you forgot Spirt of the West, Lowest of the Low, Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth, The Watchmen, The Headstones, Moxy Fruvous, The Pursuit of Happiness, etc. Some decent bands, some succeeded only because Canadian Content rules for radio stations.

    While technically a OHW, Red Rider changed their name to Tom Cochrane and Red Rider and then Tom released another OHW (he had some smaller song that were only successful in Canada)

  7. I have done it many times, I get it injected under my knee cap since I have little to no cartilage left. I was doing synvisc (hyaluronic acid) first but then started working for a medical company that has a proprietary PRP system that I can get for free so I switched.

    I find it works just as well as synvisc and it is using my own cells so it has to be better than injecting something foreign into my knees.

    Robert Cabral on YouTube lots of great free information about whatever you can imagine.  I subscribe to his website.  It’s 15 a month.   Really good information. It was recommended by my schnauzers trainer as a second source of information and good answers to issues when I don’t want to wait until our next session.  
     

     

    …and holy shit I cannot imagine an Airedale raised like that. He will run your house in no time. Terrible animal to let do whatever it wants. I put a martingale collar on Schwartz and he was either in the crate, or tied to my belt with a 10 ft leash. Instant behavior corrections and he learned very quickly who he is supposed to be with as well as the family hierarchy.

    This times eleventy billion. We have been much better training Monroe and it has paid off. she is much better behaved than Gretzky and Maggie were. Gretzky could be a handful at times. We still do basic obedience training with Monroe to keep her in line. 

    She is also crate trained and loves her crate, she will go in there on her own to just relax.

  9. Apart from all the woke/racist comment, has anyone ever been as clueless as Brent? He strikes me as someone who always thinks they are the smartest in the room despite being one of the dumbest.

    It would probably benefit him to have a tank. It's a two hour turn around for him to go into Ft. Worth and get one presently. He has a buddy, here in town that could fill it. We have a badass crystal clear dive lake about 20 minutes in the opposite direction. It's covered up on the weekend with Ft. Worth dive shop classes. But is empty during the week. A tank and regulator would have been a better use of the money. I imagine he will purchase those in August.

    Make sure his buddy has a clean compressor, at pressure any ill effects from impurities in the air can be magnified.

    On dive computers I just bought the one I trained on after seeing it on a few top ten beginner lists - mares quad - works just fine. But the ones that get up there over a grand look pretty bad ass, just not sure I need the functionality. 

    My first computer was a simple non air integrated console, I still have it but never use it. I now dive with an Oceanic OCi. wireless air integrated watch. Great computer and easy to use. I also dive with a small SPG incase the computer fails, that way I can still keep an eye on my air. Nothing sucks more than having to end a dive because your computer floods.

    We are going through this right now. You would think CHIEF Jr. dives every other day. Apparently, he bought this dive watch and a transmitter, now he needs a high end reg to make it work. Almost sitting at $3k, and doesn't own his own tank, or reg.

     

     

    Having your own reg is the way to go, it is your life line and you never know how well the dive operation maintains their equipment.

    Dove key largo today, visibility was 25 feet, I think the storm was still having an effect. Practiced some buoyancy techniques from our PPB class.  Dive master asked us to come back for advanced classes, said he would show us a great time. He asked if we could follow him he could follow us on Insta.  
     

    Didn’t take a camera. Girlie’s tricked out housing for her back up camera didn’t come in on time. Saw some large mantas and other cool shit. 
     

    enriched air is a game changer, no long ass nap needed and no lasting fatigue. 
     

    back in Cozumel in 2-3 weeks with my boys.  Tahiti diving in September, the Keys again NYE/NY and Cozumel in February again. 
     

    I can has sticker now?
