    Good Morning BBB.
    Powerball winner from Wisconsin - Mary???
    It's moving day - just moving to the site next door but ... We have 6 people so we can move our outdoor living area including canopy, 6 sided tent, tables, etc in tact and simply secure in place in new location. We still have to batten down inside of RV and put in the slides for the "move."
    South-SE facing pool with master primarily facing east so we will have sun on pool and light in the house without the blasting heat of afternoon sun.
    Sam - our pool will be salt water - specifics to be determined - but low maintenance is key.
    You and your DW have incredible patience - antics such as cutting the Uverse line would start to add up for me.
    David - my brother moved to Portland right after college so we have always been Duck fans.
    Bill - enjoy the opener.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good Morning.
    Lisa, TOO FUNNY!!!

    Salt water pool is the bomb! It's supposed to be much better for your skin.
    Back in the day when we put our pool in, it was the new thing. Our provider said that the cost of the salt is minimal, vs. chlorine, but when the battery pack goes out, which it often did back then, it's very expensive, thus a wash in the cost. We just did chlorine. We felt at that time it was too new for our provider to be able to fix any issues. I wish we had the salt water now though. ha sounds like you've got a perfect spot for your pool too ! Ours faces East. Gets the morning sun, in the late afternoon, we aren't baking in the sun because the house faces west.

    I'm up and taking Henry to daycare. Ruby will be home alone. Praying DH gets sleep!

    Good morning.

    I'm sad to announce that I haven't had any business in Wisconsin over the past few days, so we've got to pin our hopes on Mary and her extraordinary generosity.

    Team MARY! Remember the family discussion recently? Every family needs to donate to the annoying cousin (thats me)......

    Mornin' BBB.

    Recharge day.

    Need a haircut. Gotta go see Salvatore. His son, another barber, provides live entertainment:

    Very guido. Salvatore is probably 80. We talk about his Shi tzu and growing tomatoes.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Where does Mary live?

    Wisconsin Lottery’s website said the winning ticket was purchased in New Berlin, but there was no immediate word which retailer sold the winning ticket.

    Since Mary won the lotto, she is obviously too busy to check in on BBB.

    Have a break free moving day, Raine.

    Morning BBB

    Yup to the tanking. We have gine twice withu while family. It's fun and relaxing couple of hours. Second time we went to was cold so the kids didn't run along side much.

    Mary is somewhere in/around Milwaukee, IIRC. New Berlin is a bit southwest of there. She certainly could have stopped there for milk.

    Hello BBB

    Well, Im a ticket holder of a couple rows of numbers, just not the winning ticket holder. BUT that ticket was sold very close by! I do have some contacts in New Berlin, but no one close enough likely to share LOL.

    Great photo Steph, looks like a great time!

    Im on a clear liquid diet today, for yeah, THAT test tomorrow, oh joy. Not a great way to spend a Friday off of work, by Im 4 yrs behind (get it LOL behind...) schedule and my doc has been riding my azz (get it LOL....) to have the test done. (I crack myself up)

    Raine sounds like you have a great crew to help move over to the perfect lot! Im trying to decide when we can go set up! Been Watching night-time temps, still dropping too low errrr.


    I didn't realize all 30 teams having opening day today! Go Brewers! Just so you all know, we're going all the way this year. Them cubs are going down.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Thanks for starting us off with a laugh Lisa. The Sounds of Sirens. BTW, the App Academy went well.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Cracked me up, Lisa.

    Rita got a call from he doctor, yesterday. Blood work is back to normal and CT scan showed nothing worrying. She still will do an MRI, but all looks good, now.

    The pool talk is alien, to us, up here in Baja Alaska. Our summers are pleasant, not hot. Outdoor pools are a rare sight. I wanted one, when we lived in Texas, though.

    Drove over to the Olympic Mountains for a hike, after Rita's doc call. Climbed up through the forest to a mountain lake. Great early season hike. This is the inlet stream running into the upper end of the lake.

    The Mariners began their season a week ago, in Japan, with two wins over Oakland. They're in first place !!! Home opener is today, though.

    I'll be at choir practice for the Ducks' sweet 16 game with Virginia, so I will suffer no stress. Go Ducks!

    Dave.. I'm jealous. The scenery you see is just breathtaking.

    Good luck Mary and I got a very good laugh!

    I'd definitely try "tanking" looks like a ton of fun. Lee, that guy has a "squeezebox!!" ha ha.

    Ruby somehow got out of her crate around 11 and started barking. Woke DH up.. She had to go potty. GO RUBY SUE!!!

    I bought planters and I'm getting VERY EXCITED!!!

    Got taxes back. Used new person. Found a $2500 mistake from last years idiot. She will do a revision and we'll actually get some money back!! WHAT, how can this be?

    Good Afternoon,
    Just finished e-filing taxes, will have to remember to mail check by April 15th, I thought retired folks got a break on taxes, will teach me.
    I come in; DMIL has her fat *kitten* spread out on our sofa a sleep, why can't she sleep in her area on her furniture?
    Great picture Dave!
    Hope move completed and all sitting back enjoying a few cool ones, required for every move.
    70 here this afternoon, should be warmer tomorrow.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am
