    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Well, we survived the storms with no problems. Just a hard rain event for us. Some of those further west of us were not so lucky.
    • I'm up early so I can work the TV cameras at the early service.
    • No Jack Ryan yesterday. I had forgotten the NFL had two games scheduled. The Titans are surprising everyone. Speaking of Jack. I've seen season 1. Keeping season 2 in my back pocket for the right time.
    • I better run. Have a great day BBB.

    Mornin' BBB.

    DW and I watched Jack Ryan. It was pretty good.

    Titans. Wow. Did not see that coming. They went into the Raven's house and plucked the birds. I was sure the Ravens were going to the Super Bowl. Rooting for the 'Hawks today.

    Great day with dogs yesterday and lunch with hunting buddies. Luv me sum Tess and Babe.

    DW wasn't into football, so we watched the Two Popes on Netflix. Very interesting. I'm not Catholic so I didn't really pay attention at the time Pope Benedict resigned the papacy.

    Raining here with some wind. Not going to do much outside today.

    DW going to NYC to see her sister, so I'm batching it today. I might make some fish chowder since she hates it when I cook fish, but take her to a restaurant serving halibut and that is what she orders. LOL.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning BBB

    Sunny and bright right now but showers move by every 30 minutes or so. Probably going to get wet on our walk. I slipped yesterday on some slimy boardwalk. Iced ankle last night and now and seems ok.

    I wish my IRL friends were cool enough for a murder mystery party. They would have made it painful. My hope is to do that with my family when the kids get a bit bigger.

    Good morning. Up early with the dogs. Took a hot bath and now I’m watching tv on the recliner.

    I made an awesome soup last night.

    Starting to pack for the cruise in less than 3 weeks. Ha.

    I’ll clean house this morning. Muddy outside and the floors really need a good cleaning.

    Go pack go.

    We had a blast. More twists and turns than a backyard road:

    Good Morning BBB!

    I felt the same way about movie Two Popes Lee. Interesting.

    How about 1917, the WW1 movie I prescreened that opened this weekend? Anyone planning to go see it?. You have to see it on the big screen, to get the full effects. Great job shooting this film.

    Since I dropped remote yesterday only top half of it works do no netfix. We'll get a new one today. 49rs spanked the Viqueens.

    Go Pack Go!

    Meeting my brothers fot a New Years how are yout guys doing lunch out today.

    Made spit pea soup in crock pot this morning.

    Skip, you have a great group to hang with in your hood!!!

    Good morning BBB crew.

    I will nor devote too much space to my love of the Seahawks, out of respect for the Packer fan, above. Go Hawks!

    We loved "The Two Popes." I'll watch "1917" at home, when it gets released to digital media. Rarely go to theaters. As an old guy, I miss the days when the "big screen" was really big.

    Rita and I treked around a wildlife refuge, yesterday: 40 degrees, with 45 mph winds. Had to hang on to my little lady to keep her from being blown away. We had actual sunshine for a couple hours, before the rain came back.

    Good morning.

    I saw a minor league indoor soccer game last night. Yes, a minor league implies the existence of a major league. It was a hoot and I'm now a super fan.

    Rain throughout much if our walk. During the heaviest we dunked under awnings or beach bars. 2 mojitos and lunch later we are home.

    Not a bad way to pass a Sunday.

    DD and family came yesterday afternoon, took all of us to dinner for DW's birthday which is next week. They stayed night and said they were leaving early, I fixed breakfast for everyone; they did not leave till we missed early church and did not have time to get to regular service.
    Today is shorts T-shirt and flip flops weather, 70's and sunny
    Spent several hours this afternoon at AT&T store trying to get them to do what they promised; they say it is fixed but we will not know for two months.
    DMIL went out and purchased a wire shelving unit, said she was putting in kitchen downstairs, DW said no there was not room and unless she was moving something else out it was not going in there; she could put in storage room down there. She already has a bakers rack blocking the electric panel that requires moving table and chair set to get to panel box, additional self would not allow access to sink.
    Great picture of Dave and Rita, Lou, Skip and DW
    Mary, how much snow?
