    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    I've had rescue dogs for quite some time. The latest three are, from left to right, Belle Starr, Bison, and Duke. They protect the garage, the house, and the back yard, from evil tennis balls.

    Hello from Oklahoma

    Found the site a few months ago, and found it chalked full of information on all sorts of issues. Hopefully, be a productive member. I try to stay busy, but my old bones don't cooperate the way they used too. My house was built in 1946, and maintaining it has been a fun adventure. I continue to...
