So sorry about your mom. I know you wish you could do more.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
As a sort of “feel good” fact her assisted living facility so far hasn’t had a covid case. The facility two blocks away has a bunch so it is very close. They did allow outside visits during the late summer and that was nice. Since covid is so close to them no more visits of any kind are allowed until further notice. Hopefully you and yours are staying away from the bug.
Current foster dog.
Remarkable temperament for a pet who spent the first year of his life on a short chain / cement slab. The product of an idiot back yard breeder, hence the criminal chopping off of his ears but we in the rescue game see it constantly.
Anyway, he’s going to a stellar permanent family in a few weeks. Total home run for him.
Looks like happy addition to your family. Where is the black sand beach?
Those eyes, that smile, the beautiful coat, what a handsome dog. Some new to-be-owner is lucky.
Pacifica, California U.S.A.
Looks like a beautiful place.
Hey aiki you look good 'n comfy there…
My Congratulations to the young man.
A true water going Viking

Very nice accomplishment. My nephew recently got his 100 ton Captain’s license.
Congratulations Baldy
My boy now has the all-important permission for all ship sizes.
That is quite an accomplishment.
Thanks bro…
He’s out celebrating, drinking beer lol. He will sail a ship from Greenland to Denmark on 20 December. So he comes home and celebrates with his father for the New Year. 
That takes a lot of education and skill. Does he have a particular type of vessel that he would most like to operate?
