Dismal Manor Gang

#introduction Dismal Manor Gang is retired moocher Dave and his former racing #greyhound Missy and Rocky. We live in the Dismal Dominion (Virginia low country). Dave takes pictures, listens to #jazz and #newgrass music, and is making a futile attempt to train his dogs and grow a garden.

We are officers of hidden rank in #ZSHQ and enjoy #coffee on #PalsPorch. Dave is a #Dune fan. Muad'Dib!

As the “debate” drew to a close, bedtime rhinitis struck. A bad reaction to the shit show and a mild reaction to flu and TDAP jabs kept DW up and bellowing until 0200. YouTube noodling. And pulled this catfish out of the muck.
Mary Trump, Donald’s clinical psychologist niece, held post debate discussion that was even knowledgeable.

And Kieth Olbermann reported on Trump’s “flop sweat”. That term didn’t come to him but ABC set crew let the Trump upper lip shine.

Multi-radar composite image of Francine taken at about 0615. More of the outer rain bands are visible.
Wednesday is showtime. Morning travel will be unpleasant. Afternoon travel will be hazardous to dangerous.

This one is just a baby, PTC 6. Everyone is excited about how much wind there may be so let’s look at the rainfall. 100 mm to 150 mm at the coast.
That’s without a strong circulation loading up the coastal plain with moisture.
The wind makes Jim Cantori video. The rain brings inland flooding, death, and destruction.

That's to keep the scar tissue in check, especially with posterior method. Much less physical therapy needed to restore full range of motion.

Music for a Dismal Sunday continues with Paul Bley’s trio playing piano jazz “When Will the Blues Leave” for a live show. These cats are solid playing straight ahead jazz. The boffins have done an excellent job of field recordings, mix down, and mastering. Very enjoyable. #jazz #piano #trio #live #recording

Dismal Wizard finally managed to make a Home Assistant display suitable use at Dismal Manor. Radio buttons need work. One is supposed to be the bedroom floor fan. The radio icon is also to be improved.

The Great Dismal Swamp is ours. I’m sure the one in Tasmania is bigger and full of crocks! 🐊

0745 Q Dismal Manor: We sent DW out to take the morning photography stuff. It was so dismal all he could manage was images of gloom and despair. Maybe we can use them on demotivating posters. #today

Foul treachery while I was out! Missy received a peanut butter tub and cod skin squares after I shook her down for the remains of her dental chew. Not my fault she’s a slow chewer!k

Jealous! Beach! Crab legs! Garbage gut. Don’t eat flotsam crab legs. Meat spoils and bacteria makes sick.

At church Memorial Day Sunday Jake Hearan, Army Chaplain presented by video“ Remembering More Than Just Boots,”
Jake gave one of the most moving video sermons presented at C-VUU. He spoke from an outline with minimal production into camera up close and intimate to reminds us that many served with many individual reasons.
Not all deaths are Medal of Honor stories. Some careers end in depression and suicide and that we need to remember those who didn’t find their dreams in our service!

First greyhound bitch, Rompin’ Rhea, a broodie, was cow-shy. I took Rhea and Nick to Tiverton for some ice. There were 2 cows behind the diner. Rhea took one look at the grazing and started slinking toward the car. She was convinced that they ate greyhound!

Dismal Wizard can't be bothered to put his slippers away so Missy #greyhounds does it for him. This one is being "liberated" to the garden.
Thanks, star-struck fans for all the boosts. Nothing moves in the Pachyderm Place without your boosts.

Rare! You’re fortunate to have a pair! The first greyhound I met was a blue brindle.

Flash flooding warning for Hampton across the water. That’s where Langley AFB NASA-Langley, and J-LAB are. That train is working eastward. Expect a downpour here in a bit. No spin!
