    Can't stand yappy dogs. angry   I used to ride bicycle around the city of Melbourne, Florida (nice flat, easily navigated streets) and my trips often took me past one particular house with a sometimes loose yappy dog that tried to bite.  After the first few times I was prepared for him and had my foot ready.  Only connected with him once and he flew about four feet back.  Great satisfaction, but the little monster didn't learn the lesson but he just got better at dodging my foot, and I got better at not getting bit.  Yelled at the owner once when she was out there and she just did the stupid thing owners do when their dogs misbehave, they yell at them, then yell at me.  indecision 

    I particularly hate those ugliest of dogs like "Peek-a-knees" with the pushed in faces, bug eyes, drooling mouths and snorting snotty noses.  Total waste of canine DNA. cheeky  Shame on breeders for going in that direction. no

    I feel your pain.  I used to bike commute in Sunnyvale from my apartment to Palm., Inc. whenever it wasn't raining.  Some bozo kept leaving his backyard fence open and let his mid-size German Shepherd out.  I saw it get picked up by Animal Control a few times but buttface owner kept doing it (at $300 fine perincident, obviously some stupid engineer like me).  I used to carry a collapsable riot baton when I went out to goth clubs (some of those places get rough) so I took it with me.  Ended up chasing the owner (!!) and sometime in the following month he moved.  Apparently he ran out of fine money. :-/

    ...or maybe  you frightened him off. wink

    When I used to do a lot of long distance cycling, I had a second holder on my frame that held a pump bottle filled with a 60/40 mixture of water and cleaning ammonia with the nozzle set for stream.  I only had to land a shot in a charging dog's path or near it to make it stop, turn tail and run the other way. Even in wind, it would shoot a good steady and long stream.  Much safer for both cyclist and animal than swinging a long item (many cyclists would use their frame pumps) which could injure the dog (in some cases only making it madder) and possibly causing one to lose balance.

    There were anti dog mace-like sprays but out in the country they would often disperse too quickly to be effective.

    I've heard of the water and ammonia trick, seems like a good idea.

    .Finally bedtime!  Too much strong coffee, ugh.  But it's a new day so we'll see what happens...

    ...yeah had a bottle of "real" sugar Coca Cola with my pizza and didn't get to sleep until late/early.

    ..that'll do it..

    ...the situation was I headed over to the usual pub for a few beers and socialising beforehand and when I got home, all I had in the fridge save for that and a big jug of sweet ice tea was...more beer (strong at that being 8.1%), as well as hard cider and a third of a bottle of sake.  Always need something a little "fizzy" with pizza so the Coca Cola won.

    Had our taxes done, then went to Papa Ginos to get my free birthday pizza...added pepperoni to it.  Then we went to BJs to stock up on some things.  Long day.  Felt good to sit down again.

    Happy B'day.  I love B'day perks.    Back in November I made sure I took advantage of the free dessert B'day perk at a restaurant.  Saved $7 on a piece of killer chocolate cake.  Cool!  cool

    Ooohhhh yummy!!!

    In Russia, CAKE EAT YOU :-O

    If they can have killer tomatoes and such, killer cake is a distinct possibility...

    ...the pub I frequent gave me a glass (not shot) of Laphroaig Scot's whiskey for my B'day.

    Awake after a looooooong nap.  Chowing down on  Chicken chili lime noodle soup and crispy corn tortillas before starting my Dr. Who marathon. Should be loads of fun!  Diet soda is cold, wodka is chilled, tater chips lined up to die, should be an enjoyable evening. :-)

    Just no killer cake.. that's scary! :-O

    I wish I could get one of my goldies to get my bluetooth speaker to me.  They cannot and they will not and I think they might not be able to do so.  Those goldies are just a bunch of fish.

    true but right now I do not care.  Probably due to my Ant Anxiety pill I took.   Right now I am thinking of turning in.


    Into what? you ask?  No clue

     

    edit: checked my bank app and it said I got charged 2 cents.

    Thank you!  I haven't gone to restaurants much in the past couple of years...can't afford it.  It seems they've forgotten about me.  I used to get several birthday perks at different places, like Chili's, Pub 99, Friday's, etc.  I haven't gotten notice from a single one of them this year.  they've forgotten about me.  Just as well.  Can't afford to dine at these places anyway, unless I get a gift card for them.

    Amazon does not do price matching any more.  I ordered an item at 25 something but now it is almost 20, which means 19 something.  Bummer.

    Weather is tolerable, 40sF & rainy but tolerable.  Snow's been gone for a couple of days.  It's a good day to take a drive in the rain to splashwash the salt from the underside of my car.  Yea, mini-adventure time!  I'm off to the Indian reservation to buy gasoline on the cheap, and to get two bags of potato chips for the price of one.  smiley  All I have to do is survive 4 minutes in the cigarette smoke filled office/store of the gas station.  no  I swear the smell follows me into my car and half way back home. frown  I can't believe I smoked for 25 years and didn't realize how disgusting it smells.  I blame my parents. indecision

    If you have Netflix, I'm pretty sure one of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes riffs that movie... Not as awful as the Jack Fost movie though.
