    Good morning.

    Woke up at 3 and couldn't fall back asleep, so I've been working and will catch the butt-thirty train into the office.

    Already on the second mug of coffee...

    Mornin' BBB.

    How big is your mug, Lou? Hope you don't need a nap today while meeting with the boss.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning
    Like your quote Lou.

    How is the new baby?

    Crazy weather here. Down to 40 last night. Up to 80 today. Almost 90 by Friday.

    Ruby Sue slept all afternoon evening and night. She’s up and moving slowly. Let put a whimper when she stretched.

    I called 911 yesterday due to dinner dictator, aka ds2, aka Reilly having a car on fire. He picked it up from the brake shop which is about 5 blocks away ,DH was following him without a phone and saw the flames. about a block away from home
    Ds had no idea. He pulled it in the drive and flames were shooting out from the rear fender well. Brake line on fire. DH is yelling at him. It’s all on video. I’ll share it on Facebook. Always something.

    I better get scooting. I’ll cbl.

    14 oz mug, Lee.

    Kelly - I just copied yesterday's opener, so Lee gets the credit. Good thing DH noticed the flames before the fire reached the gas lines!

    HOLY CRAP!

    I would like to make a motion that ya'll start a Reality Show - yikes! Thats scary! Sounds like everyone is okay - but what about the whip? Did it survive?

    Dermatologist appointment here this morning.....making sure the rest of this pool body is pool ready :smiley: for this weekend!

    Had a lady pull in behind me at SBUX this morning and pronounce ".....you should really chill out and slow down." I'm sure she didn't like my response - which cannot be shared here without BBB Police.....

    Lou - what are you up early for? Something on your mind? It was PTSD from the spay thread, I bet.....

    Morning BBB

    Driving to Denver this morning. It is cold here and there. I did not pack well.

    Hooray for new the new baby.

    I'll have to go look at the fire video. Yikes.

    Dang Kelly. Y'all do not have good luck with cars.

    Skip, not sure how I would have responded. I guess a therapist would say something like "how did that make you feel when I cut you off?" or "is this about me or is this about you?". But I'm not a therapist. I'm a java addict and it would probably would have been a more childish response.

    28 oz of coffee before you get on the train. Hope there is a restroom on the train.

    My response was childish - but I couldn't figure out why she was complaining....

    There really is a whole "Real Housewives of....." attitude around here.

    I don't have to go fast but the Black Beauty has a growling exhaust and sounds loud sometimes - lending the appearance of fast.

    To that end - get out of my way when I am SBUX bound!

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • An attitude in the burbs of DC? Tell me it ain't so.
    • Glad Reilly made it home safely. I can only imagine the conversation with the brake shop.
    • Might be time for a new sweat shirt Steph. I bought one at a Giants game at Candlestick park one Sunday afternoon in May. Similar situation. Gee, if there was only a place you could buy clothes.
    • Hang in there Ruby Sue. It'll get better.

    Good Morning BBB.
    Lisa - YIPPEE - love all the pics!
    ❤️❤️Ruby Sue❤️❤️
    In the 90s here these days so Jack and I walk early or not at all. All these years of treadmill and he has transitioned easily to pavement walks. No leash required and he keeps me at a 15 MM pace which is a good walking pace.
    Kelly - oh my!!!
    Steph - stay warm.
    Bill - we are with you.
    Do good out there everyone

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Not Facebook friends with any of you. I'm not one of the cool kids.

    Have a great day, everyone.

    Good Afternoon,
    Spent hours trying to get ATT-Uverse working on TV downstairs before grandkids get here next week, now they said they have enough information to send us a new receiver; seems like they could have figured it out without wasting 3 hours of my time.
    Weather forecaster now predicts 100+ for weekend
    I assume brake-shop is replacing a vehicle.
    Hate when I wake up too early and am tired all day, but today is HUMP Day,
    Skip, maybe she thought you were hot and trying to get an intro; and you blew it
    Happy Humping,
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    I like this theory.

    Good Afternoon, already, day is flying by thankful for that!

    45F here and suppose to climb up into the uppers 70's and sunny by 3pmish, and for the weekend!

    Glad that fancy white car didn't get any damage Kelly! What did the Fire Dept. say? I saw DH with his garden hose action. At first I thought he went back in gate for a fire extinguisher... glad everyone and the other car is safe! Whats the damage to the car on fire?

    I planted my mail ordered annuals last night. Im kinda disappointed as to just how small the plants are. Maybe by Sept. with this weather, they will be in full on mode? Tossed a $2 tomato plant from Aldi's in a big pot on the deck. Have 3 containers to plant tonite, these flowers are from a local store though-not mail order, much more reasonable and good sized.

    Stay warm Steph!

    Should we be watching for news reports of Starbux drive thru rage? Yikes, its just coffee people! LoL

    Grilled marinated chicken breast, with chuncks of summer squash-bell peppers/red and green-onions-mushrooms and zuchinni strung on kaboobs are my leftovers for lunch today. They really turned out great! yummmm

    Enjoy the day, be safe, be happy!
