    Mornin' BBB.

    Potential buyer made a a nice offer. Contract off to accountant and lawyer for review. DW and I would work for the practice another 3 years full time, possibly longer.

    Babe is great. BTG having mechanical trouble with his quad that he uses to get around the training area, so he was a bit distracted. Looking forward to a good run at the trial this weekend.

    We only have one monitor for our laptop here at home and at each work station at the clinic, but I have a couple of friends that have two or three monitors on one CPU at their home offices and it is very handy when you can have multiple pages visible at once. I know I would like it.

    Exciting about the new bike, Raine. Will it have a sidecar for Jack?

    BBB OP ;-)

    Restless night, can't seem to clear my mind.

    Say a prayer or two please for ds2s and my nephews college friend, Sam and his family, Sam died yesterday in the tragic NYC elevator accident. Heartbreaking. Great guy and wonderful family. So sad. Senseless and avoidable.

    Staying in town this weekend, putz in the garden that needs some tlc. Maybe that will help my sorrow.

    Be safe BBB

    Well now with multiple monitors one can multi task keeping up with several entities at once as well as confusing and mixing up entities.

    I have 18 companies in my portfolio. It's the only way to manage it.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Mary, I read about the tragic elevator accident. What a shame.
    • Lee, get to keep fixing critters but don't have to worry about the business. Might be a nice way to transition into retirement.
    • Skip, multiple injuries and an extremely busy schedule. I prescribe a week on a beach some where sans phone and computer.
    • Raine, you got me looking at new scooters on HD.com. Dang you. Enjoy the bike.
    • I have volunteer office work to do today. Grrr...

    Good Morning BBB -
    Mary - that is so sad - prayers up.
    Bill - I hope you only go forward with healing now.
    I had multiple monitors years ago - and I may set that up again when we move into our new house. Nice convenience.
    Meeting with cabinet and stone suppliers this afternoon - exciting.
    My new bike is black - Tom will pinstripe it. Fun!!!
    It is stock except we will add black mustache engine bars and different pipes so I can make some noise.

    The chick on that new black bike is even hotter, just sayin!

    Skip, Elbow ended up with infection? Please rest and take it easy for a few days. A little R & R will do you good!

    Good news on the business, Lee? Lots to think about huh!?

    Morning BBB

    So sad Mary.

    Congrats on the offer Lee. Should like a Greta way to transition to retirement.

    I’m working at the hotel this am the. Headed to the Tetons.

    All of the district managers and the stores VP will be in grand rapid next week. They are having a group dinner and since I’m not going (doing training in Ohio) I’m thinking of sending a retirement cake to their dinner. They are having a pot lick at the hotel with prizes to the team that is the most creative. Might need a bakery suggestion from Lisa.

    I'm so sorry, Mary! That's absolutely horrible!
    Wow ... GREAT bike, Raine!
    Good songs, Kelly!
    On the monitors, Jim has 4 on his work computers in the home office. He says it's helpful.
    Keep us updated on your thoughts about the offer, Lee. :)
    Steph, I wish you could come to GR! Shoot! My members always talk about a bakery that's supposed to be pretty amazing - their cupcakes are well-loved, especially. If you'd like, I'll find out the name of it.
    I hope things go well with your dad and the fundraiser, Skip!

    I've spent most of the morning planning the band and music for Sept-Nov ... but I'm almost done, so that's good! We have a rehearsal tonight for the concert Sunday, too. But for now, I nap. Zzzzzzzz ...
