    Good morning.
    Not but 2 winks of sleep as DH has his phone with calls and texts. Errr
    Ds1 did some fine trading this weekend. In 48 hours he owned 3 different cars.
    He started with his BMW M3. It was older with around 60k mikes on it.
    He traded that for a VW GLI I think. It's a cute super fast car. Then, traded that with 2 thousand for a newer 3 series BMW with all the options. Hope it's a good car. I never saw it.
    Ate way too much this weekend. I'm reeling it in today because dinner out tonight with a lot of my girlfriends.
    I hope you all had a great weekend?
    Make it a spectacular day!!

    Morning~

    *kitten* is the MFP police covering up a naughty word.

    Didn't sleep well - but lots done yesterday. Mind still racing a million miles an hour thinking through things I have to do.

    Going to try to relax in between Hurricane Nate conference calls today.

    Rainy/wet/nasty here.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Had a great weekend with friends and dogs up in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom hunting grouse. Very difficult hunting. Flushed a lot of birds but only saw a fraction of the birds as they flew and then not much time to get gun to shoulder for a shot. Translation: no birds in bag. Good time though. Lots of hiking and chasing birds through woods but maybe not enough to offset the magnificent dinners and breakfasts we prepared for ourselves at the cabin. Interestingly enough, not much drinking. Had a few drams of rye around the campfire outside.

    Really, Kelly? You didn't know about *kitten*? Was DS#1 at a car show doing all this trading?

    Terrible about the poor kid who hit the tree after taking out your fence, Raine. Prayers.

    WTG Lou!

    Raining here today too.

    Back to work.

    Poor Tess looks lost without the AB sidekick!

    Sounds like you had a great weekend, Lee! Well deserved.

    What does one do on the first Monday following retirement? Inquiring minds, Dennis......

    I'm with Lou.

    Good morning BBB.

    Had one guy come over to look at my "old" lathe, but it wasn'y what he was looking for. We had a good time talking about turning and general woodworking, though.

    Seahawk defense got the job done. Yay!

    Maybe I'll finally set those arbor posts today.

    I’ve got to reel in in too. Up a couple pounds and I can feel it.
    Hitting near 80 today so planning a lunch walk with Jack - it may be the last warm one.
    Dennis - keep up posted :D
    Lee - love the pic of Tess
    Kelly - no napping!!!
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • No sleeping in today. Breakfast with the Romeos.
    • Social calendar filling up quickly.
    • Poor Emma ate something outside that didn't agree with her. Cleaning carpets this afternoon. *kitten*
    • Great picture Lee.
    • I appears Jerry Jones has finally taken a stance against his millionaire protestors. Instead of watching football yesterday I watched baseball and kept track of the scores on-line.
    • Casting for Recovery sounds like a good way for the Survivors to unwind. Our local American Legion sponsors Fishing for Freedom for Vets.
    • I'm with Lou.
    • Excuse me, I have to go clean up after my dog.

    Morning BBB.
    Lee what a beautiful photo. Glad you had a good time even without the birds.

    We had a gorgeous fall day yesterday. The two outdoor potter stops were full of knats so after getting big up at the first we skipped the seconds and only did the indoor ones. Did but anything but man was there some fantastic pieces.

    Spent the rest of the afternoon at a brew pub in the hipster part of town people watching and doing a bit of work. I wish it was closer to home as it is a great place.

    Mary so glad DS came hime to celebrate his birthday with you. You have awesome kids.

    Lee, I too love the fall picture.
    The trees are barely turning here.
    Finally getting much needed rain.
    Lee, ds had this all set up. Traded one on Saturday then traded up for the BMW on Sunday. One guy drive from
    Nashville TN. THe other from 4 hours away. I'm really glad he's in the business school.
