Jacpot Finds An Old Nameplate

Jacpot and I went to the other side of Pinecrest Lake Saturday to do some metal detecting, while the water level is down. We had a nice time and saw the lake from a different perspective. The majority of the time we dug up old beer cans and other junk. Along with two dimes (not very old) we found a nameplate that probably fell off a boat many years a ago. Researching on google for the name Frank A Cressey Jr. I was able to find out some interesting information about the family but no address. Perhaps it is just junk, but it would be nice to find an address and mail it to a member of the family.

Jacpot Makes The Most Of The Mountains

Jacpot has enjoyed going up to Dodge Ridge Ski Resort and hanging out with the skiers. The resort has felt almost empty with maybe a couple 100 at most on the slopes. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed relaxing on the deck and having lunch in the sunshine. Jacpot goes to the lake each day, for either a hike to the other side of the lake or just play time. Teresa has been giving him extra exercise with 5 to 10 mile runs around the area to supplement our other walks. We got snow last night, but as the sun rises this morning the snow on the tree branches should melt shortly.

Jacpot Feels Right At Home In The Mountains

We returned to the mountains last night and wasted no time by going to Pinecrest Lake and watched the sunrise in the morning. Later in the day we drove down to Twaine Hart for some supplies where Jacpot had a great time playing with a new friend he met named Amos. Unfortunately we will miss out on our usual runs around the lake since last week on a run, I tripped over Jacpots feet, fell on a curb, and bruised a rib. I am hoping to be healed shortly.

Jacpot Gives Me A Nudge

Jacpot has been giving that look for over a month now. Maybe I have been imagining it, but it sure seems real. It's that look that says, "The park is nice... I like chasing a ball or catching a frisbee.... but, when are we going to get back out there and run in the hills?"

After getting one too many looks, today was the day. The plan is to get out 3 or 4 times a week for starters. We'll see just how well that look works.

Jacpot Tries Out For The Baseball Team

Jacpot had a nice team meeting some local baseball players... no word yet if he is on the team.

Jacpot Takes Me To The Dog Park On My B-day

Somehow Jacpot knew what my first choice would be to do on my Birthday... go to the dog park.
