    Mornin' BBB.

    Thanks for the food porn, Lou. Such an ornate carriage. Who was that supposed to carry?

    One of the things I am dreading about working for the buyer of the practice is that they have contracts with vendors, labs, and software companies other than what we are using. Even the digital x-ray system will be swapped out. Seems inefficient to me.

    Beautiful morning here. Cool and sunny. Wish I was fishing.

    Train hard, play hard, Skip.

    So sorry to hear that P.R. seems to have been forgotten by FEMA and lack of help from US, Steph. Politics suck.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning

    Great news on the hip Dave!

    Steph, that does stink. Are you reconsidering your plans now? I agree though, you’re retired on an island. Woo hoo. Please remind us all again why you chose PR?

    Busy day in store.

    Last night was girls night here. Sane drunk 69 year old with a mouth that would startle a sailor. I hate that. Maybe it’s just me but I do hate it. Girls night with her is about once every 6-7 weeks and that’s more than enough for the rest of us. Otherwise, the 7 of us had fun.

    I’m down 1.2# from last week. Lee, how are you doing??

    I’ll cbl

    Morning BBB

    No plans today. We will likely go for a walk or two and if the rip tide warning is over will go snorkeling too. Went to Kmart and walmart yesterday fir a few thimgs. We are mostly set up except for a few more pantry items if I can find them

    We turned in everything for healthcare on Sunday and haven't heard bacj yet but it won't start until October 1. Cost is $350/month which is right about what we were paying with my employer subsidy.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    It's all moving toward that goal of hunting, fishing and working your dogs withiout the interferance of working for a wage, Lee. Just keep your eye on that retirement goal.

    I was going to say that sounds like a lot, Steph, then calculated that is about what we pay for our monthly Medicare Part B and federal employee dental coverage. It would really disappoint me that the mountain trails are closed, in PR. After the quick visit ther I took in 1980, I have yearned to hike there.

    Going to rain, today, but I am going to go for a hike, anyway. I need to get in one hike a week to reach my goal of 70 by March 8 (my 70th b-day), and in Washington, in the winter, I am definitely going to be doing some wet hikes. I enjoy rambling through the forest in the rain. Glad to have the doctor's blessing.

    It's a ceremonial carriage to the King of Portugal, c. late 1700's, Lee.

    Happy Birthday USAF!

    Nice carriage for the King - wow the details!

    Lee, eye on the prize!

    Dave, hope you get some hip pain relief! Good doc says ok to hike towards that 70 milestone!

    $350 a month for healthcare, for two seems cheap, depending on the coverage?

    Im not an xcel fan either Skip, though for me its lack of training on the fancy stuff one could do with it.

    Nice WI again Kelly! We started to track again, - uuggghhh

    I poked around in the garden this morning & grabbed for my office whats coming to an end soon, fall is in the air here! (Zinneas, blackeyed susans, snapdragon, knockout roses, limelight hydrangea.)Have a great day BBB6llaldwdcanw.jpeg

    Flowers always brighten a room and one's day
    Dave, looking forward to photos of future hikes
    Lee, never understood why companies come in and purchase business because they are prospering and then began making dramatic changes where they may not prosper as well
    Hopefully you'll get to let off steam tomorrow with girls or fishing
    Lou, you've made me hungry need to go fix lunch before I eat carbs as shown
    Skip, in my years of working for government I found their training was one of the most wasteful items they did other than scheduling a meeting to decide when we needed to have a meeting with no subject.
    This morning at yoga class learned that the older folks get the more brazen they can get; guess I've lived to sheltered of a life; but still fun watching folks.
    Happy Humping,
    Sam
