New Schedule


Boy it has been awhile. I have been busy. The CA/NV/AZ trip was a whirlwind and I still have photos from there to post eventually.

In October and part of November I had a houseguest (Zao-Avalon Zip Line Express JC) come stay for about 4 weeks for shows, he went to 6 shows, picked up 2 majors and one reserve to major including a supported entry BOB win over specials competition. He's back home in OH now.
Nov 5 and 6 Archie and I had a weekend of rockclimbing with his son Alyn making it on Saturday. Probably some photos at http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=124210564299924 if you are on facebook. It was great fun got to rappell 70 feet the first day then 170 I think it was the second day.
On November 17 I had hammertoe surgery on 3 toes on my left foot for what my Dr. calls "impressive deformity" all this 25 mile a day hiking hasn't helped my long time problem but I knew the surgery would be really painful and so put it off and off and off until it has become impossible to ignore. I was right, it does hurt, I am praying my healing will continue so far so good but let no one tell you this surgery and recovery is easy or painless. It is neither. I thought I'd be back at work this week but Doc said no. Stitches come out this Thursday .
Dec 3-6 I will be in Florida. My mother is picking me up at the airport this Friday in Clearwater, then judging during day at the Region 7 regional ASFA trial in Brooksville on Sat and Sunday (Dec 4 and 5) flying back early Monday morning and hopefully going straight back to work we'll see what Doc says this Thursday.
Dec 11 and 12 Archie and I are supposed to finish Christmas shopping up in Knoxville.
Dec 15-19 Calhoun GA ASFA trials (BGCC & BCGA). Hopefully some of my youngsters will certify and the real youngsters get to practice although I will still be in the boot so limited mobility
Dec 25 Christmas with my son and his wife and inlaws here in WHite Co. TN! Whoohoo! Archie is coming and then I think we will also do Christmas with Val and Dave (his ex wife and her boyfriend).
Dec 29-pins come out of my left foot and hopefully I can wear soft tennis shoes and then we leave immediately for NM to return Jan 4th LATE night and back at work the 5th
Jan 15-16 judging ASFA trials in Camden SC for CLCS
Mar 1-5 MARDI GRAS!!! Going to MS/LA need I say more?
Mar 19-20 judging AKC trials in Florence TX-flying down for that
Mar 24-27 I believe this is ACoD in Nebraska
April 3-9 BCOA national in Kansas
July 17 judging Borzoi sweeps in Nebraska
Lots of blanks not filled in and of course there is always the possibility that something will happen but right now these are my plans.
