    Mornin' BBB.

    Am typing one handed because THE cat is insisting that the other hand be petting her head.

    Good weekend apprenticing. Missed running dogs myself, but judging will make me a better handler in the long run.

    Got my other hand back now.

    Congrats on the new nephew, Lou. Still in the doghouse?

    Nice paint job on Ruby.

    Mary, you are such a wheeler and dealer. LMAO. You should be in real estate. DS#2 is a good looking kid and looks real comfortable holding that wee bairn.

    My garden is one week old now and only one parsley plant is trying to kick the bucket. We have been having a lot of rain so I haven't had to water much at all since the plants are in the ground this year instead of straw bales.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good Morning BBB.
    Heading to the beach for Jack's swim time.
    Busy day after - taking separate vehicles to the beach since Tom has a new customer further north so he will head that way.
    Lee - I loved seeing the trial pics.
    Mary - keep us posted.
    Kelly - the dogs really helped with your painting 🤣
    Lou - congrats!
    Do good out there everyone.

    I was out of the dog house within 24 hours, Lee. Everything subsequent has been self-inflicted because the whole episode freaked me out. Got the usual Friday train beer and just took it home unopened because I was afraid of a repeat of whatever it was that happened and wanted to be secure on my own couch before trying again. Ended up not even bothering.

    That is a little sad, Lou.

    Tom is a busy guy!

    Morning

    Late to the party..... busy morning.

    BAD storms through region last night. Pea size hail did quite a bit damage around the region.

    Jack is living the charmed life!

    "THE cat" - i'm sensing something.... LOL!

    Lou?

    Morning BBB

    Yesterday was a perfect sunny 77 here. Our 20 mile ride was great. Had a beer with another bike riding friends along the way.

    Headed to South eastern Iowa today. Ron will come with me again this week. Not much to do in the little town we are going to and the bridge to Illinois is closed with flooding.

    Lee here are some tusla flood photos. The bike shop we stopped at was planning to evacuate later that week if things didn't improve. The water was almost to the parking lot.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Let's see. The important highlights of Monday are Jack goes to the beach and I have breakfast with the ROMEOs. It is good to be back to normal.
    • I wouldn't think of flooding in OK but it appears they have a whole lot more water than they need.
    • I gained 5# last week. I guess I better get serious about taking it off.

    Good Morning - Welcome back Dennis, I too am going to hunker down this week on the taking weight off seriously note.

    I need a job where as I don't have to work June, July, August!

    Though, i got a nice order in my inbox this a.m. $100K.... that'll likely be it for a while, nothing forecasted further this summer, yikes. The latest Trump increase to 25% tariff has us in a panic. We are likely toast for sure now with half our marketing using China product.

    Did some over due gardening and perennial dividing/moving yesterday.

    Thanks Lee, I think ds2 is pretty handsome myself LOL. He sure looks good with that baby!

    Have a great day!
