    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Off to work the cameras at church this morning. It takes on a whole new meaning when everyone is watching from home.
    • Watched a double feature last night. Gran Torino and The Martian.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Both good movies, Dennis. We watched "Once Upon A Time in the West." I love westerns, but that is a terrible movie. This is the first time I sat through the whole thing without turning it off.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Dave, I've tried watching that movie a few times. Not a great spaghetti western.

    Gotta get out an mow a wet lawn. Not fun. Plus got a skull cracking sinus headache from allergies.

    DW is off in search of salad.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning

    Dennis, your social distancing is outstanding!! I bet that pizza tasted so good

    Sam, we’re flying. We get to Florida, get the rental and go to Walmart then the house. All we do is walk from the house to the beach. We don’t leave until we meet Raine and Tom!
    I sure hope we’re going.

    Meeting the salesman on the car Wednesday afternoon. I was wrong. It’s a brand new z4 not the 8. I don’t know the difference other than a number. We will get rid of the little z3 we have in the garage and 750. Have 1 less car. I like that.

    I just signed up for WW. Sam sold me on it. I’m green. I like tracking and not having a gajillion 0 point foods. I’m up about 10 pounds. Ugh. So, I’ve lost 15 total not 25. I’d like to lose 15. That’s doable.

    Still signing: Chubby but now working on it.

    Morning BBB

    We are out of salad greens too. But the selection around here is dismal so I will probably order them delivered again soon. As soon as we need some other stuff.

    Hoping the wind is light today and maybe we will take a bike ride.

    moRning.

    Late check in. We did our neighborhood cleanup yesterday - two hours of cleaning up trash/debris. Back is quite sore today. Took a muscle relaxer last night and it knocked me out.

    WW is a great move! I haven't done so well since they closed due to CV-19. But took off 30+ pounds in 4 months. I've probably put half that back on......

    Z4 is a nice zippy option too! Nice taste!

    Never saw that movie. Did watch a great documentary yesterday on History Channel on Air America. Who knew.

    Good morning

    I'm going to leave soon and wait in the lot for Costco to open soon, mask and all lol. , theres a new rug there I want, and bananas, coffee for ds2, and power protien drink for his fitness guru gf. They want to come over for a patio pick up, a social distance visit outside, with Maddie dog girl later. So I'm going say ok. I miss them too. Haven't seen them in person for weeks so it seems.

    SO moved 2/3 of his dirt yesterday and with adding more to my garden too, I decided to rearrange most of my perennials in it. Took my 4 hours to dig up and move stuff, with a new plan.

    Today is sunny and upper 60s. For a day, maybe two it will stay nice.
    He's cutting grass for first time, then doing his grass seed. I'm going to get my dahlia tubers started in pots. And spray paint some pots for Petals n Planters I sold for Mothers day orders I got.

    Vette seats look great! When's pool complete date?

    Good for you Kelly on resigning WW.

    Everyone enjoy the day!

    I'm on green mainly because it is close to program I lost 60 pounds on in 2009. Lisa has inspired me to adjust my eating now till I start losing. With heart meds and blood pressure meds I am almost back to where I was in 2008. Staying within program I'm gaining so I will adjust my points down till I start losing, determined to get 18 pounds off by when we go to beach 3rd week of June.
    Pollen counts now down to reasonable levels, below 50; big difference from 8,000 to 9,000
    Cooler today low 70's and sunny.
    DW picked up a case of beer for house, I put in fridge downstairs I wonder how many are left. I made DMIL a margarita last night which was not that strong but she was slurring her words and having a hard time walking. Whenever I fix a beer butt chicken we have a meal then I take what is left add celery, pecans, raisins and fat free mayonnaise then we generally have enough for 3 more meals, I fixed beer but chicken Wednesday then chicken salad Thursday and we had it for lunch; Friday DMIL was getting into it again, I told her we would eat it Saturday for lunch and finish it Sunday night because we do not cook Sunday evenings. Yesterday DMIL keep eating chicken salad saying she was hungry; she ate more than me and DW combined; when we went to clean up after lunch DMIL decided what was left was not enough for another meal so she finished off. Then proceeded all afternoon to complain how full she was, bet she was downstairs drinking beer to make her belch. But with all she ate she should not have been drunk. Today she is glassy eyed and staring into space, not interested in Sunday School lesson or sermon.

    Good morning.

    I was Purple prior to the forced lifestyle change, but I've moved to Blue to give me a little more flexibility. I wasn't eating dense carbs much anyway living on my own.

    ...I'm back. Big difference in a Z4 and a Z8. The Z4 is nice but the Z8 is James Bond nice. I too chose green. There's no free lunch. You have to count it.

    I knew some folks who flew Air America. They never were much good at keeping a schedule.

    Green here too.

    #jealous!

    Can't wait to have our pool open (aiming for first week of June) - though I suspect upcoming back surgery at end of May will keep me out out of the water most of the summer....ugh...
