    Good Morning BBB.
    We have narrowed it down to 3 lots - actually 3 locations each with 2 - 3 lots. We need a lot for the house, a lot for Tom's shop, and perhaps a buffer lot.
    Lee - how is the cat? We are all praying for your DMIL and your DW.
    I don't understand having to go through a second basic training but I know he will rock it and be a role model for others.
    Dave - praying for your mom
    Sam - BBB visiting schedule sounds fun!
    Mary - I agree with you about the government and about Maddie.
    Steph - what is the timeframe for the changeover?
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning BBB friends.
    . Sitting in the waiting room at the Ford dealership. What made me think getting regular service done first thing in the morning was a good idea?
    . Raine, are you looking east or west of I-75? I imagine it is difficult to find large lots east of the big road.
    . It was cold here this morning (32°) and it is going to be colder this weekend. Can't imagine what some of you are going through.
    . Of course cold temperatures make cruise anticipation all that much sweeter.
    . Got my new HOG card in the mail. So much nicer than AARP card.

    Dennis - we are looking west of 75 and that is toward the Gulf and Myakka River so it is more developed than east of 75. Charlotte County.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Kitty surgery was pretty routine. Good time catching up with old friends.

    DMIL has no idea that she is in hospice. Seems to have completely recovered from TIA. Eating like a horse when fed the food she likes such as orange beef and brie burgers.

    I hear its cold in Chi Town this morning, Lou.

    Spoke to DS#1 yesterday. He's looking at it like going to summer camp and he'll get paid for it.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Nothing much to report, today. I am at a loss as to what to do. Maybe head to the shop; maybe drive to the mountains to play in the snow.

    Your DS has the proper attitude, Lee.

    Morning~

    Late night; cold morning!

    No new news on *kitten*show for furloughed workforce. I have a couple staff that are in dire straits. Working on solutions for them now. Ugh.

    TGIF!

    Raine - congrats! Hope the lots you desire are doable for all you endeavor!
    Glad the sex change went well for the kitten! You rock, Doc!

    Cheers

    Yep, had my directions backwards Raine. Growing up on the east coast of FL I always think of the water being east.

    Good Brrrrrr morning, wowza. I'll be snuggling with SO under the covers for sure this weekend, like most weekends ;)

    SO has a line a used pontoon, a nice one too, 4 stroke, which is what he wants.... and an awning, which is what "we" want.... maybe we can work out a partnership co-owner type deal :) I may do some nudging this weekend, haha.

    T G I F

    Buffalo chicken homemade healthy style pizzas for dinner tonight... yummm

    Skip, hope this circus ends soon for all the gov workers. Good of you to help find solutions... Why can't they go on unemployment benefits, like we in the private sector would? Are fed gov workers exempt from such?


    Glad to hear dmil is on the up swing today, Lee!

    Be well, be safe, be happy BBB

    Hi all.

    Just left my co-workers to board my flight home. Arkansas to Dallas them to Omaha. Hopefully home by 11. Ron get home tomorrow.

    Plan to move most things this weekend and BIL is helping move furniture on Monday. Don't have to be out of the house until mid Feb so have some time to clean sweep and get rid of the rest of the donations

    My family is coming to stay for state wrestling the weekend before we close. I told them they would have to bring towels and air mattresses (except for the one bed they are taking home) but way cheaper than a hotel for a family of 5 for 4 days.

    Raine, after looking at next weeks weather forecast I don't imagine you are second guessing your move decision? Hang in there Lou and Mary.

    Good evening
    What a busy day. I was out and at my first stop before 7. I’m pooped.
    Dennis, 7 days until Puerto Rico. So excited for the cruise. Woo to the hoo.
    Raine, we booked our week in Englewood May 10-18
