Betty Lou has been binge watching The Unit. I catch an episode every now and the when I come in the house. That series ran from 2006 - 2009 and it's interesting to recognize and try to place actors that appeared in movies and series later in their careers.
Betty Lou cracks me up because she seems to know all about the personal lives of so many actors and actresses. Mostly the drama. $:-\$ I think she does it to annoy me because she knows I have zero interest in that garbage.

I've been watching a YouTube short series- essentially FanFiction- for Star Wars called For The Empire. It is basically like Red VS Blue from the game Hola, only Star Wars.

Absolutely golden entertainment, and far better than the garbage Star Wars movies Disney puts out.

Sitting in front of the woodstove with the flames licking and crackling. Along with the smells of burning wood it's just mesmerizing.

Fat Lighter is common around here.
Basically it's the dried out stump from a dead fall pine. When the tree dies all the resin drains into the stump just above the roots and dries. When I find them I cut them into 1" x 6" sticks that can be lit with a BIC lighter. They burn long and intense. 1 or 2 will easily start a fire in the stove no need for paper.
People around here often use it for landscaping like drift wood. If you drop a stick on hot coals it will burst into flames in just a few seconds.
I have a 5 gal. bucket of the sticks cut up and more around the property that needs cut.
If you put a log of it on a campfire folks will soon be backing their seats up to get away from the heat..

Wait! The wet dog makes the fire smell awesome? I got a wet Labrador here right now and she just smells like swamp water.

I was hoping it would be cold enough that she would avoid her daily plunge. Nope.

I'll just say that Boss has inherited a new name... Stinky.. but that's not just limited to wet being the cause.

Personal thing... I guess.
The smell of a wet dawg, drying by a fire, brings me back to my child-hood.
Being an only child, out in the stix, this Irish Setter Dawg was my best friend from 1966 as a puppy until until she passed in 1981.
Anna Cassandra Hornett... aka "Cassey".

She and I spent many years stomping the woods growing up together. Came home wet and cold, warming by the fireplace together here.

Boss has her own towel as did Rambo. Betty Lou catches here at the door when she is wet. Boss loves the towel rub. Rambo would stand and let Betty Lou dry his feet. Boss has other plans.... no touchy feet.

Watching the Eagles vs Rams snow bowl now. How many of ya'll were around to watch the 1967 Ice Bowl at 18 below zero. Green Bay had Bart Starr score in the last seconds for the win over Dallas. I was a young teen then and remember it as the best game ever. I have seen every championship game and Super Bowl since but to me it is still the best.

Oh now that is priceless!
You can bet I will use that for a LONNNNNG time!

I stayed up last night and watched "Along Came Jones" on GRIT.

Well worth it for an old Western Movie buff like me.

Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, and William Demarest.
If William Demarest doesn't ring a bell, think of "Jeb" on Wells Fargo or "Uncle Charlie" on My 3 Sons...

Yes, I am old.
