Rise and shine everybody

Time for me to pack up and finalize my depart at the convention center and blow this popcorn stand.

Too bad it's not open yet and I'm the only one up around here.

Have a great day everybody

    Mornin' BBB.

    Its gonna be a dog day off.

    Skip, enjoy your gunloving dad. Me dad, also a Marine, is much the same way.

    I really like Dave's way of thinking of firearms as a tool. I also dislike the loud and destructive things Dave mentioned.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning....

    Long day of work.....picking up DD from airport tonight - in town for a few days. Be still my liver and home. His last visit he broke a few things - so he's on strict order to not touch anything!

    Safe journeys home, Mary!

    Cheers,

    Good Morning,
    Tis TGIF Eve,
    Mary, go down to coffee shop, have a few expresso's then you will be able to pack quicker; safe travels home.
    Kelly, enjoy dinner with girls; have you started packing yet.
    Lee, enjoy dogs, woods, and fields.
    Raine, FL is coming quickly; tried lavender on feet last night; either I was very tired or it helped.
    Lou, hope you able to get a great cup of coffee this morning.
    Steph, heading home? or another day in Texas?
    Dave, knowing you have the wood stockpiled and a place to go pittle is great; I'm learning when I retire I'm going to need place away from DMIL; she thinks she needs to help with anything I do. All my tools are at DS's may need to set shop up there but will have to run electric to shed.
    Going to supper club tonight, broke down and got DMIL a ticket; This is first time they are doing but they are planning on doing monthly featuring local growers, dairies, and packing plants. Depending on how she dresses and behaves will determine whether she will get to go with us again. There is one restaurant in town that we will not go to if she is with us because she embarrassed us so. Eating complimentary bread starts hollowing she broke tooth eating. Stands up shouting, wait staff and manager come over, she keeps carrying on. Next day she goes to dentist, no broken tooth. I told her she should sent note to restaurant apologizing, didn't happen.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good Morning BBB.
    Fly fishing is definitely on my short list - as is bone fishing in the keys.
    I’m with you guys on the noisy motorized toys.
    Getting house in “showing” condition today as the agents will be doing open houses and showing while we are in FL. Midday break for chiro and massage. Bathed Jack Tuesday and he got his Piezo (sound wave) treatment so good to go.
    Sam - funny DMIL story but not funny to live through.
    Bill - enjoy your dad and keep him on a short leash at the house. Love that MASH clip!
    Sam - love Lavender.
    Mary - it will be nice to wrap it up and get home.
    Steve - pu up pick of your turnings please.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning.

    It is with deep sorrow that I must inform you that the coffee sold at my local Metra station is crappé. The only redeeming quality is that it was served hot.

    Good morning BBB.

    Mary, I always thought the best part of any business trip was going home. Safe travels.

    My last tour in Alaska I really got into fly fishing. Dry flies for big grayling while looking out for wandering moose and grizzlies - wonderful experience. All fishing is fun, but fly fishing has so much style.

    Good luck on the house showings, Raine. Hope you return home to multiple offers.

    DW has me chauffeuring her to pick up free offers at local casinos, today. I filled out an online questionaire the other day. For current occupation I put chauffeur and handyman.

    Good Morning!

    Lou, start packing from home. I sip on SBUX most of the day.

    Have a great day!

    Turns out my seattle's best coffee beans is owned by SBUX. I toss the ground coffee (intense dark) in my bonavita maker,add water, and push one button. Brewed fast and french press like quality into a thermal carafe while doing whatever 3 S's I need to do. Dump into thermos and good to go.
    Stay warm and good luck all

    Morning gang.

    Last day in Houston. A bunch of us went out last night and a blew through the remaining weeklies way before I stopped drinking. Thankfully no travel next week so I can detox a bit from all the catered lunches this week.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Semper Fi to the Marine Dads.
    • Mary and Steph, have safe trips home and a relaxing weekend.
    • Okay Lou, How about a Starbucks kcup in a travel mug from the house. Wouldn't that beat Metro crappé?
    • Sam, enjoy the catfish.
    • I'm off to give my blood to the Red Cross this afternoon.
    • Have a great OP day.

    Lou, if I get your name next Dec for mug exchange , I'm setting you up with a travel "Hydro Flask" keeps hot, hot for hours, and cold, cold for an entire 24hr day, if not longer.

    I made the 10:20a train. We are pulling out of the station now.

    Raine / Lou, how far do you live from Glenview Illinois????
