And when I came home, I found a full mouse trap.
Getting the stoarage room in order…
And getting rid of a couople of shelves.

Having the frame around my front door replaced…
And the garage doors capped.
Much better (the frame was later painted to match).
A relaxing evening with Molly, dinner, and a puzzle.
Static electricity for Riley.

A great way to spend a cold, snowy day.
The beach got even more snow.
Puzzle’s done. It’s a map of DC, in case you were wondering.
Dry january led to some interesting virgin cocktails.

Busted!!

We stopped by a distillary in DC for some cocktails when dry January was over.
Before leaving town we hit DC Brau.
I LOVE their beer!!
The venue is great, too.
Later that night, more beer…
But this time at the Melting Pot.
Molly and I ran a 5K together.
And later, I got her to join the beer club.
A nice beer from Manor Hill.
Riley doesn’t care, as long as he is with you.
Some beer sharing with JD.
And some fun beerporn using a mirror.

Molly and I checked out 7 Locks brewing.
Love the head on their logo.

Drinking in DC…

Oscar time, who did you vote for?
I bought Riley a new bag and he was testing it out. He loves it!!!
He also got a new bowl.
Another salad thanks to Molly.
Riley loves cozy balnkets…
And sofas.
A work function in Baltimore, and I got the one bedroom suite.
We did a dinner cruise that night.
Good food, and good beer.

Baltimore is always fun.
The team I manage.

OC trip, and we stopped by Burley Oak.
Great beers, and they allow dogs.
During the off-season I let Riley walk on the beach without a leash.
We wore him out and then went back to the condo and played Yahtzee!
On the way home, we stopped at 16 Mile brewing for the first time.
How about that for an icicle?
Molly is such a great cook, and…
I love Molly!!
It was snowing….
But I love the snow!!!
We ended up not getting too much snow.
Riley likes it when you sit with him when he eats.
Saint Patrick’s Day!!!
Molly forgot to wear green, so I let he borrow my hat.
We hit a few breweries in DC, and Hellbender was one of them.
We hid Riley under the table.
He can be very incognito when needed.
We also stopped by 3 Stars, but…
We didn’t like their customer service at all.
We eneded the day at Denizens brewing, where as we were leaving I stepped on, and broke, Riley’s paw.
Hot stuff!!!!
We took Riley to the vet that night…
And he was fixed up with a splint.
Right side, two middle toes.
He managed just fine…
And was walking around without too much issue.
Happy on his meds.
We slept downstairs to keep him from having to run up and down the steps.
And I blocked his access to the upstairs.
See, he doesn’t have any issues getting around with his splint.
Well, that does it for Winter, and it looks like Spring will start with the one year anniversary of Molly and I dating.
Hooray!!!!
