Sometimes those auto voice things don't understand me as well. I just speak like a California person, no accent to speak of much, and they still can't understand me! Those Robo call drive me nuts. LOL

Robbie, our school team was on here this afternoon as well. I still watch it, but it just doesn't have the same meaning since I don't associate it with drinking beer all afternoon any more.
That runway in the picture is pretty cool looking.

I think I might be a job creator. 
I just asked my neighbor if it was too late for his teenage son to come over and take Billie out. He said, sure, and his son came over and took Billie out. He came over earlier today and fed her and took her out, so I gave him five dollars for his help. He looked surprised and happy. 
I''m sure he'll ask his dad if he can do it again.
Billie is happily pulling the linings out of the compartments in her purse.
She so enjoys playing with it. I stuff the linings back in and she pulls them out again. She also likes to sleep on it, like she does with her blankies.

Hiya Weekenders
Hi cardoon welcome to Weekenders
I think if I ever venture to London streets again I’ll go by Tardist or ask Scotty!
Al, glad you enjoyed the rugby…good result for Ireland.
Robbie, take away with a cuppa sounds perfect!
Least, your neighbors lad sounds a helpful kid to walk Billie…. I could do with some help raking leaves up from the garden, a bit far for him to come though I wonder if there’s some kid that wants to earn a few Bob in my neighborhood?
Kaily, yeah, stick library, please return.
so cute. Alfie and Daisy would always bring back the sticks, I’m sure! 
Well, I’ve started buying Christmas gifts , I’m going to be organised this year. Hopefully
Love to all xxxx

Currently holding strong this weekend!! Only thing bugging me is, I accidentally scratched my face at night and it's been bleeding since 430am, so 17hrs, with only a few hrs where it stopped but then I'd sneeze or blow my nose and it starts again (thanks xarelto!).
more annoying than anything, kind of starting to make me laugh really.

But hey man, I'm an IT guy, and I promise you, within about 3-5 years, machine learning and AI will have improved significantly.

Kaily, daisy looks very determined in emptying the toy box. She's very lucky she found you.
Willow, that's funny. The kids now, when they have kids, will complain about how they only had 15 gigs of high speed per month to burn up playing online games.

Least, Billie looks as sweet as I imagined. Thanks for the pic.
I took Sarge to the Vet Friday. He had a good looking over. Everything seems fine except possibly he has some rear end weakness typical in older shepherds. We told the vet about all of his weird behavior. Anyway, he is on anti inflammatory meds and seems a little better today.
I am off to play tennis in bit. I am looking forward to it as I haven't played in weeks because of my bad cold.
Happy Sunday everyone. Nice to be hangover free here now for 332 days.
Enjoyed a nice stroll around this pond after brunch with my SIL yesterday. I do love Fall.
