115

Inky from last summer

Inky left us today. About 5:35PM CDT. We thought he might not make it past our summer vacation last August, but he kept on keeping on until this morning when he couldn't get up, eat, or drink any more. He went out the same way he lived his life. An unusually calm and mellow dog, taking what life threw at him without complaint.

A chart on the vet wall indicated he was 115 in dog years. He'll be missed. Note to Inky - stay away from the chocolate in Dog Heaven - it's not good for dogs. Instead, go chase those durn cats!

"Could it possible be a chevrolet?  One of many cars we had to transport the

Back in the day, on April 16, 2010, Steve A wrote, in a comment - in the days before commenting was changed to the "Blogger Contact Form":

"Not that us bicycle types would know anything about such things, but offhand, I'd say it was a 1955 Chevrolet Two-Ten Handyman 2 Door Station Wagon, of which there were 28,918 produced. If memory serves, it was more of a blue than the picture suggests. I also seem to recall that New Orleans pictures would show the same car. A closeup of the hood (bonnet for British car types), would show a discolored paint spot on the left side that no amount of washing and polishing would remove."

 I guess that'd be a "yup, that's a Chevy all right!"

Texas Tech

So I decided I would post something to the blog. I got bored what can I say and as much fun as chemistry sounds, this was more appealing.

The end of school is coming up pretty fast and I must say that my first year in college went pretty well. I met a lot of people and learned a lot. I think all of my classes are going to end well, although I didn't get any midterm grades so my assumptions could be wrong. I will find out for sure in May how I did. I was asked to join Gamma Beta Phi. It's an honor society that you are allowed to join if you are in the top twenty percent of your class. I didn't now I had done that well last semester but apparently I did.




What my friends and I do at Tech on the weekends when we get bored. We go to the park and take random pictures. There are some really good ones that I may post later. :D
I hope everyone is having fun in Washington. Well beside my own family which is in Texas, but you know what I mean. I am going to study and get ready for a test tomorrow and a test next week. Probably a better idea then blogging! :D

The Plymouth Duster - I think it was a 1971 model. Three on the Floor. The first new car we had when I was a kid. Twelve years later I drove it to California in 1982, it ran pretty good as long as we put a quart of oil in it every 300 miles.

Here is Dad checking the oil - had to do this alot.
