Glad they are being relocated. They are beautiful but Lucy comes first in cuteness.

just checking in since I’ve been a little pre-occupied. I’m back to work tomorrow and have been preparing for that. Nate won’t have me around to nag him 😉

He’s still recovering pretty well and says he feels like he’s ahead of the game. 

 

Meanwhile, I usually always take Sam to a groomer but wanted to attempt it myself...HAHAHA lesson learned

 

It grows back. Trust me. We never took ours to the groomers. They had plenty of marginal haircuts over the years.

Operation “Fox Relocation” has started. First move is to empty the coverall of bales, the empty structure will entice them to find another home. We have also put out a bush camera to track their movement and times to see if there is any pattern.

 

A few of the bales on the move to a new home. 

 

 

Lucy appreciates the effort. 

That’s a lot of work to do to relocate some foxes. Can’t you trap them in animal friendly traps and relocate them?

That’s not to bad. We tried that years ago with a Persian cat we had. Tried to give her a lion cut. She looked horrible. 🤣🤣🤣

We already have our first photo. I was in the building 1.5 hours earlier and it was no where to be seen. 
 

Beautiful animal.

Beautiful animal. Please do not harm them. They deserve to live. Just keep Lucy inside or send her to me.

Who’s going to kill the rats? I’m guessing that’s Lucy’s job?

Sold chocolate for 35 years and still kept your figure.

Thanks I've always exercised to keep relatively fit.

That's a long time. Although our lockdown in the SF Bay Area is indefinite, so it may be for a similar length of time. Although many local businesses may close altogether as a result. We are keeping our fingers crossed for eventual good news about more widespread distribution. 

That's a shame.

We liked the bay area when we stayed 2 nights pre cruise in SF last November.

It is nice, but everything is closed. For some reason I had although on the brain.  We have been at home for so long, my brain is losing it.

So Uber runs in the UK?  Many places in Europe don’t allow Uber. 

There's been some legal challenges especially in London but they are still operating. I first used them on my last Florida cruise nearly two years ago, but I've used them a couple of time here in uk. 

I haven't used uber eats yet but my kids say it's easy.

We always use Uber when visiting London they offer an excellent service.

Do you get to walk around the historic houses and grounds? Or is it just a drive by? 

Over here we have the National Trust which maintains hundreds of places of interest such as castles, ancient monuments and historic homes and grounds, as well as parks, woodlands and coastal paths.

We are just doing a drive by at this time. I personally will not go indoors with a group of people. My call. Maybe later when things get better.  If it was just the boss and I, we might pay a visit inside. I feel riding my motorcycle in the wind, is not only safe but mentally helpful.

UK Prime minister has just announced a Full Lockdown until February 15th at the earliest.

A record 80,000 positive cases for covid19 on December 29th.

Omg 80k for one day...so sad in so many ways.   Hope and pray these vaccines work.

I trimmed Bell back in late April. Not perfect, but not bad

I learned to ski in the Catskills.  It was perfect for a day trip. Killington also became my preferred resort for long weekends trips or even week long trips, My friends would hit Bear Mountain early while I studied the trail map to see how far I could ski without having to get on a chair lift, hence a lot of meandering trails between the various peaks.  Even though we rented a condo, we'd often be out eating at the Wobbly Barn or Casey's Caboose.

You might be surprised. When I first got married and bought a house, money was tight so I stopped skiing for 5-6 years. When I went back, it was like riding a bicycle. Of course, that's was when I was still in my 30's. 😏

 

Forgot all about the Wobbly Barn.  Great place.  We definitely spent a few nights there.  I'd love to think that strapping on a pair of skis would be just like riding a bicycle, but trying again after 5-6 years in your 30s is a little different than trying again after 25+ years at 59 with lower back and knee pain (which was likely in large part due to mogul skiing).  I think I've permanently traded ski trips for cruises.

I enjoy it occasionally, but as a fun thing to do rather than a daily chore.  Maybe that will be different with an Egg. 😁  My wife does most of the cooking.  When she says that we're going out or ordering take out, I say "yes ma'am".

I've started to wear 2 masks when I absolutely have to go shopping for groceries/meds/vegetables/etc. -- one from cloth which fits tight, and the blue one on top of it....

For christmas my SIL, ICU Charge Nurse, gave all of us the full face shields she wears at hospital.  I wear that with my 3 layer face masks whenever I must go to food store.  Our freezer is well stocked with lots of stuff from omaha steaks and local fish market. 

 I'm back to working at home after a couple people in my office tested positive last week.  

It is said too many people become lax with washing hands, etc.

I carry in my purse medical grade wipes that Erics transplant doctor had prescribed a couple years ago.   I always wipe down shopping cart.  Nothing new to me, I have done this for a couple years now.   

The prescription We get a box of 1000 wipes delivered every 90 days.   Never use that many so I gave out a bunch to family, friends and neighbors.  

This is not the time to let our guard down.   I'm hoping we see proof the vaccines are working in coming months.

Take Care!!

Our XL is in storage and right now the large is stuck in the garage. Need to make room to move it out for a cook.  I look forward to cooking up a good steak.

Looks like a lot of fun and a great way to get some fresh air.  Seeing "DeLand" reminded my of the Bob and Tom Show.  Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Not sure about the Bob and Tom Show but Deland is a nice old college town (Stetson).  Beautiful oak lined roads and a neat old downtown. Just don’t blink or you will miss it.  The brick streets are a little bumpy on the motorcycle.

I don't remember Tom's link to DeLand (he may have had a DJ job in South Florida when he was younger?) but they had a running gag anytime there was a news report involving DeLand.  Why do they call it DeLand?  Because it's by DeSea.
