Photo of my Malamute named "Timber". The name was given to him as a puppy, and we didn't know at that time how apt the name would eventually be. Wonderful companion and soul.
southlandsheltierescueinc.com @mnsheltierescue.bsky.social Attended the fall picnic for Southland Shetlie Rescue, and it was great as always. Lots of happy Shelties and owners. Pat won three of the raffle prizes, including an adorable Sheltie bag that I stole!!!

Hey Peeps, It appears Im suffering from SSNHL (Sudden Severe Neural Hearing Loss), and of course occurs on holiday. I need to see ENT as local ER is not equipped. Los Angeles is not far away. If anyone has some ideas or pull, let me know. PMs are open.

Attempting to replace the buffer module cable for my Bambu H2D. The cable runs down the plastic guide chute, secured by a wire tie coupling two cables. Cutting it later will be tough, raising questions about its importance—next to XY axis belt motor & preventing the chute from contacting them!
